Thank the heavens for cellphones. We did manage to meet up with most of us, and then our epic journey began... So many people! It took forever to get to a (very crowded) spot from where we could (almost) see (the treeline that blocked our sight of) the parade!
There were jets flying around, and helicopters, parachutes and hanggliders (or something like that... It was dark, and I assumed they may have been remote controlled cyborg robot drones too. You never know.)
And then there was fireworks! Finally. I love fireworks! Here's just one shot:
And here's a funny photo of the entire crowd taking photos of the fireworks... kind of funny how they all tried to capture the moment, and at the same time missed it because they were too busy with their cameras.
Afterwards we went to a thai restaurant, and I had a lime juice and a limeade - which is like lemonade, just made of limes and not lemons. It tasted really weird. The juice tasted like Caipirinha, just without the alcohol.
On the way out, look what we came across - soldiers with shopping bags!
So, I'm still hoping we'll hear from the student hall soon... Really need to get out of this rathole place. Here's a picture of what it looks like from the outside:
Believe me, it's much worse from the inside...
