life is a musical!

The last few days were mostly parties :) What a nice start of the post:)

The first party was at the Senegalese bar called Yacout with live African music. It's a great place! After midnight, it was my birthday so my friends went to the band and told them about that. The singer called me in front of everyone and after a short speech he asked me to perform a dance with some random Moroccan girl standing closed to the stage. That was fun! This place is fun so I will definitely go there more often.

The next day (it was actually my birthday), there was a goodbye party of Mona (an Egyptian intern - I miss you!!!). It was supposed to take place at our friends' flat but just before its start the electricity went down so the party was moved to our house in Oudaya. It was great as well.

But the best was still to come. I threw my birthday party on Saturday. The theme was sexchange which means guys dress as gals and gals as guys. I was warned the day before by my Moroccan friends that throwing a party with such a theme may end up in being jailed. I freaked out a bit and was quite stressed but obviously I didn't cancel either the party or the theme. Of course no police was involved. Our lovely neighbors complained a bit about the noise saying the music was too loud. The funniest thing is that the music was really quiet because we didn't have proper speakers and my laptop speakers are really shitty. The party was really great and crazy. There are some pics on Facebook. There was I don't know how many people. More than 50 out of which I knew less than the half. Most of them were internationals. Just few Moroccans. The proportion was interesting. I think one of the thing that I enjoy the most when living abroad is being connected to the expats community. I'll write more about it another time.

The best was at the end. At around 2.30 AM most of the people left and the party was about to finish. But suddenly we heard the door bell. New people came! Of course, I saw them for the first time. Among them - 2 jazz singers who sang a jazz version of happy birthday to me. Then at some point we went on the highest roof of my house and we were singing some jazz songs. The smell and the sound of the sea, the fabulous view and singing jazz. It was so amazing, so surreal, so incredible. The best birthday party ever.

Life is a movie! Life is a musical!
