# 23

The number 23. Another year in the books. Although this celebration was the first spent away from close friends and family I thoroughly enjoyed the festivities with my new friends and colleagues I've made over here. Our night consisted of dancing, drinking and socializing. We started off the night in typical fashion by going up to Noah's apartment to pre-game. We had a few drinks, a computer party, which resulted in Chris finalizing his honeymoon destination and a short 80's freestyle rap competition (Noah won). We headed out to a bar called "Madai" where we get discounts on drinks and two women dance on the bar in lingerie. Since my birthday fell on a Friday, and people don't go out until midnight here, we technically went out on my birthday but to clarify on Thursday nights (Friday morning) at "Club One" our next location it's Hip-Hop night. We spent the rest of the night there dancing until the early morning before heading home.

What a night, I have always had great memories, well not always great, but the level of fun has always been above par. And I have know one else to thank than those who helped me celebrate it. So, to those, past and present, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making every birthday a memorable one.

"Enjoy the Journey"
Love
