Togolaise Diaries...contd

Le 3th Avril 2009

Bonjour

The day began with me hearing the strains of Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy with Farhan Akhtar crooning Sindbad the Sailor. That was certainly a pleasant beginning to the day. At the campus, after researching for some time with no real work to do, me, Samuel, Bans et Dorienks (Dodo) took off for the piscine (swimming pool) en face de university. Apres taking membership pour une mois, I had a great time swimming after ages! Even though I lost in all races to Babs and Dorienka who I must admit were rather good, it was great fun to finally get back in the water. Lunch was some bread avec frmage, which we picked up at the Indian supermart where everone who remembered from yesterday greeted me, rather warmly.
After resting at our homes for some time, me, Samuel, Alain, Dodo et babs were ready to hit the streets to discover the shady/fun life at night. It was truly shady to say the least, open air cafes lined up on the streets, full of people with some peppy hip-hop music in the background with a DJ and bouncers standing on the road, drinking and drinking and drinking some more and the place was completely swarmed with prostitutes in all shapes and sizes and I mean that literally! Though difficult to not see them as they were everywhere, it was great time with drinks (Red bull for me as usual, I m definitely a red bullholic!!) and some nice conversations. Then it was time to hit the floor and I have to say that I had this much fun dancing after ages!! Alain and me get along like a house on fire on the dance floor and apparently according to Babs and Dorienke, its just too amazing to watch both of us coz its as if both of us are in competition with each other with our moves and its great fun. I agree with them, it is actually great fun dancing avec Alain pare que il est tres bien belly dancer! :DD
We were there till nearly 2 in the morning and finally went home exhausted still after completely enjoying myself! Great stuff.
