Ah finally my home town(Stellenbosch_ZA) is back to normal. Students have returned and make up about 25% of our towns population of ~100k. Every year we have a week of madness before classes start. This includes a trolley race(the supermarket kind), "Vensters" and "Vlotte".

Vensters last night is with vlotte the most popular with visitors coming in from every corner of the country for this one mega party that stretches for 3 days.

Vensters is a night of shows that involves all first year students living in a res or privately. One male and one female res or private residential area team up the week to compete for the jool trophy.

Each year they have the same main theme(buddy) with different sub themes. And all money collected from sponsors, food/drink sales are put back into community development projects.

Anyway what it really comes down to, is a massive party for a good cause. All 15 local clubs where stacked and queues started forming before 10pm. Music played in the parking lots, thousands marched through the streets cheering, chanting, dancing, drinking.

I tried to not to consume much and stay in mid town till late, cause I had to work 5:40 am this morning and register at 8am. But with a blink of the eye my watched jumped to 3:00am and it was time to head home. Waking up like usual when things go this way was hard as hell. I set my cellphone alarm to play The Doors - Riders on the storm at full volume to wake me up, but instead I waked up, thought "man who is playing this cool music?" and rolled on to my other side only to wake up with a bang to the buzzer on my alarm clock.

Bleh I feel tired now, but the bank still needs to phone me, cause there is a big chance I will not get a student loan, which will mean gg studies :( .

Well here are a few pics of the shows themselves, if I manage to correctly upload them that is :P
