Liberty Parade 2008!!
This past weekend, the trainees (Herman, Dirk, Kai, and myself), @ers, and former @ers visited the coast of Black Sea for Liberty Parade 2008!!
The trip was not planned very well in terms of accommodations, so I did not get almost any quality sleep for the entire weekend - except for the few hours of sleep in a car. We ended up getting a two-person hotel room for eight of us on Friday night, so Kai and I just chose to sleep in one of our car, which was fairly comfortable. But for Saturday night...we didn't even try too much to find a room, so some of us slept in our cars...and others slept outside. This was my second try of the lifetime to sleep in a public park, and I updated my personal record of sleeping duration in such conditions from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. As soon as the sun started rising, some of us moved to the beach to escape from all the insects, and there I managed to sleep for about two hours...until I felt myself burning in sunshine. So I didn't get much sleep this weekend, but as an @er I should be used to it.
And the Parade - To sum it up, location-awesome, atmosphere-great, music-could be better. The music was basically some techno beats repeated over and over and over...so basically this parade is just for partying and not really for listening to high-quality music. Honestly speaking, the parade itself would not be enough to make up for the effort it takes to actually get there and back. But when you go there with enough time to enjoy the beach and a lot of friends, the trip is totally worth its cost.
Another great weekend...this time I'll just attach a slideshow. For still pictures, just go to my Picasa album.
