Gah!

Just came back from the IRFFLE party, to celebrate what is now a (nearly) finished semester.

Such a wonderful display of talent from around the world. We had a group dance session to "Elle Me Dit" by MIKA, some wonderful Italian songs sung (I hear that the guy who sang the songs for the party had been singing in an apartment a couple days ago. The neighbors came knocking to ask who was singing so well... dang) and various other acts.

But two in particular stand out for me. One was two girls from Brazil who demonstrated the samba (sporting giant feathers and high heels). They invited up others onto the stage, and it turned into a dance off between some dudes from Ghana and the girlies from Brazil. So wonderful. And then we had a bellydancer from Jordan. Having witnessed professional bellydancing in El Salvador and in the States, I can say with at least a little confidence that she was easily at that level. She was almost forcibly brought back for an encore by the gentlemen of the crowd.

Naughty line uttered at a party which I had the privilege of witnessing and remembering.

(Guy reaches for the wine bottle. It is 2 am.)
Lady friend: Tu peux boire encore? (You can still drink?)
Guy friend: Bah oui je veux voir ton corps. (Why yes I want to see your body)

For those of you non-francophones, the humor is that the two lines rhyme, and it is a very clever take on the spanish accent, which often confuses Vs and Bs.
