The Loonghi Brotherhood was founded 2009 in Sydney, Australia. It currently consists of 12 men consisting of different nationalities from Argentina to Afghanistan, but are united by the holy bond that is the Loonghi Brotherhood. There are 5 'original' Loonghi Brotherhood members which are called the Loonghi Boys - which was founded early November, 2008[1].
During the year to celebrate their brotherhood they go traveling together all across the world. The Loonghi Brotherhood have not gone on a traditional Loonghi Brotherhood yet, but one is scheduled for July, 2009. The Loonghi Boys on the other hand went to Byron Bay, Australia[2].
History[edit]
The origins of Loonghi Boys and Loonghi Brotherhood draw ancestry from the Middle Eastern article of clothing worn by males. In Middle Eastern culture only the upper class people would wear loonghis as a way to show their wealth and high position in society[3].
From this came the colloquialism of being a 'loonghi boy' which meant someone from this upper class part of society or showing a lot of "swagger" by the way that walks he and presents himself[4].
Holidays[edit]
Byron Bay[edit]
Only the Loonghi Boys went on this amazing journey up the eastern coast of Australia. A typically 10-11 hour drive was done in 8. With an average driving speed of 140km/h and a top speed of 200km/h - this was no hard feat. The 3 nights, 4 day holiday wasn't just a time of blurred memories (for which was compensated with hilarious pictures), it was a time where 5 non-black guys bonded like never before[5].
The Loonghi Boys were instantly recognised by the inhabitants of Byron Bay - a predominately white town. Playing Arabic music through a 15" sub woofer in a rice box turned a lot heads which just made us have all the more fun[6][7].
Mannering Park[edit]
The first Loonghi Brotherhood holiday is set to happen July 12 - July 16, 2009. Just a one hour drive from Sydney it is an idea location to bond for the first time with 12 members[8]. There are a few rules for these holidays, which otherwise would be total chaos and anarchy:
1. No girlfriends
2. No taking phone calls from girlfriends
3. The holiday must be shabless
Breaking of these rules is punishable by booting[9].
Future Destinations[edit]
It is rumoured that the Loonghi Brotherhood are already planning end-of-year holidays to be an international destination (a first for both Loonghi Boys and Loonghi Brothers). Sources say these destinations have been discussed:
The Loonghi Boy House[edit]
There have been talks among a few members of the Loonghi Brotherhood (predominately between the Loonghi Boys) about moving out into a big 4 or 5 bedroom house. Details are sketchy and constantly changing. Whether or not it will ever happen is unknown which many different things to be taken into account before anything can start to happen.
