Day 7: lub dub lub dub lub dub...

We came back just as the rate n rhythm picked up n the campus came alive for the night… the place swarming with students out to have a good time n looking for some major mingling… there was something for everyone… classical music, movies, n of course something for the academics.. we made our way past the endless rows of food stalls to the main play grounds; a bunch of sweaty guys dribbled a basketball, I couldn’t keep track of who was winning, on a court adjacent, a heated game of volleyball had its spectators on their toes… n the huge football field had become a makeshift dance floor!
