Viva México !

At the afterwork yesterday I met some friends who told me about a Mexican party later that day and that I could just come along — so that’s what I did. Apparently the 16th of September is the Mexican Independence Day (from Spain, declared in 1810) so there was big party with a number of Mexican families, Mexican students, other folks from Latin America, their friends and several exchange students that had somehow caught word. It was quite nice, with Mexican music, rather low priced Mexican food and (Mexican?) dancing. Eventually, though, as we heard there was another party nearby, we left for that other place.
Indeed there was a party in a student dorm with mostly exchange students and I had some interesting conversations and met some more new people, e.g. from Canada and Greece. Around midnight some friends and I then decided to take the last regular tram home, as most of us were quite tired already. I ended up watching a movie at my place before I went to bed.
Today, after getting up late, I cleaned my room and read some more for my thesis, now I’ll try to get the plans for tonight sorted out…
