How did you guys meet?
F: We met at the “Cinco Dias con Nuestra Tierra” meetings, back in 2011. But I really got to know him during the fair; I got interested in him because he treated me respectfully and equally to any other worker in the tent.
C: Well, pretty simple; at 5Días (2011). I had my eye on her since the fair’s meetings, then on Saturday- when the fair was about to be over- I got the courage to talk to her and I invited her to McDonalds with some guys from the tent. After that I remember the other guys wanting to dance with her, but I just kept my cool and waited for the moment. Then I sat beside her, put my hand on her shoulder, she put her hand in mine and I realized we had clicked. After a few days I looked for ways to contact her, and when we were finally able to meet again we began going out on dates and started knowing each other better.
