Black and White Party

November 23, 2009 – 1:54 pm

The Black and White party at The Maze in Catete was a complete success for the institute. I got there thinking that it would be quite difficult for people to come to the event since it was up a long stretch of winding roads that would have been better traversed by a motorbike, but to my surprise, more than enough people succeeded in finding the place. The Maze is located near the top of hill, where an easy-going interior permeates the open-air lounge area. One thing that struck me was the night view from the balcony.

I went up and down the stairs to help bring the food and drinks into the bar area, and then proceeded to my post. I was helping out at the entrance of The Maze, ushering people into the party. Although I was not in the vicinity of the stage area where the live music was playing, I was able to listen to it without any problems. The music was amazing, ranging from samba to bossa nova. During my break from my shift, I walked through the crowd and I remember seeing so many empty bottles littered all over the tables, people conversing, laughing, dancing, just having a good time. More than 200 people showed up for this event, and the best part was that I was able to put my part into making it a success.
