Anzac Day

OK so I have been mostly working and not wandering around as much as I want, but last Saturday was Anzac Day. From what I was told, it is Veterans Day in the states except it celebrates a day where Australia invaded a country and got slaughtered. Also unlike our veterans day, the main Anzac tradition is "Two-up". I had been told a lot about two-up before going out but I was still quite surprised.
So we go to this bar that is about a 10 minute drive away and is about the size of a small Vegas casino. We show up around 1 PM and it is already quite busy. When we walk out into the courtyard, there are about 400 people standing in a circle. Everyone has a beer and many are holding money up in the air and shouting. The the announcer yells gibberish and everyone cheers.
Two-up rules: A person from the crowd (similar to craps) goes into the middle of the circle and gets a wooden stick with three coins sitting on it. They throw it up in the air and which ever one has "2-up", or three up, Wins. Everyone else in the crowd holds $10 or more above there head (only girls are allowed to bet $5) and yells "10 on heads". Everyone else then walks around and gives 10 to a person with their money in the air, who is now betting tails. The announcer yells tails, where the handful of money is exchanged, or hehehehaawwlllllsssss in which case the whole crowd cheers, the person holding the money keeps it and the tosser gets to toss again.
I was down $10 to random Australians most of the day and finally break even on the last toss as the sun is going down. We go to a couple of other bars, and a party then I walk back home. I feel a little groggy at work the next day.
