After class today and a lunch on campus of borek (sort of like a quesadilla with spiced potato- can also be meat or cheese) we were treated to a cocktail reception and beach party at the EMU Beach Club. A group of about 35-40 international students participating in a 2 week program arrived today so it was a good chance for us to meet a bunch of people. After the Rector welcomed us we were entertained by a group of young Turkish Cypriot dancers performing a traditional Cypriot wedding dance as well as some African dance by our friend Clarence (again not even close to his actual African name) and his troop and then the flip flops came off and it was beach party time. The dancing started with a lot of (uncensored) American hip hop (high/lowlights included Busta Rhymes, Tupac, and Tag Team) and moved in to some Turkish pop as well as some more African dance. As the night went on, the activities became more and more interesting including our 3 boys showing off their Euro shorts, Houman in a speedo, and some things better left un-blogged.
