I had heard about this dance party they have in Cambridge to welcome the Summer and even though it was a non drinking event though it would be fun. Boy I was right!
A bunch of us met in my room and had a few sneaky drinks and then caught the T (that's what they call the subway here) to Central Station.
We didn't know what direction the party was in but we started to see lights and more and more people... then all of a sudden there was city hall, this old majestic building covered in strobe lights! The road was blocked off and there were thousands of people dancing on the street, on the grass, on chairs on the stairs...everywhere. The DJ was amazing playing old and new stuff. We made it nearly to the top of the stairs but it became impossible to move any further, so we began moving down to get more room but we started to loosing people :( I ended up with Will and Stephan and we spent the next while watching break dancing circles before we were joined by other Will who knew how to shake it. We were having this awesome dance off when one of my moves accidentally got really big and I punch him in the mouth !!!! whoopsie! Luckily he was fine... still has all his teeth for his beautiful smile :) The street party ended at 11pm so we began walking back to our dorm with a bunch of people.
Half way there Stephan gets a call from his friend Mairz (Bangladesh Prince) who was having dinner at a Chinese restaurant that is open till 3am! So we stopped and talked with him and others arrived and it turned into a big meal (these boys never stop eating!). Mairz would have to be the smartest person I have ever met though I find it hard even as a native English speaker to understand him all the time as he goes on tangents like my old high school principle!
After their second dinner we made it back into Harvard Square and went to Charlie's Kitchen. I had the bestest cocktail ever- so strong but good. We stayed there till close before making back to our dorm.
It was an incredible night- wish we had more street parties!!!
Great way to be welcomed to a place!!!
