A few nights back Deepak and I had to meet up to take care of the most urgent issue of finding good cheap Indian food for Eric and fast. After I forcefully stuffed myself with Chicken Korma and Nan, we found a nice out of the way Chicha bar on the way back to our respective residences. After eyeballing this important local Arab for about half an hour a two person band came up to the stage to perform for us. Apparently, somewhere in the small nooks and crannies of the upstairs part of the bar, there were a few groups of people ready to let loose and pretty much get down for a night. They came out right in front of our table and started doing this circle dance where they put their left foot in, then left foot out, then do a little Arab hokey pokey and walk it all about. It was great entertainment and was a really easy way to justify smoking chicha again after going cold turkey for almost a year (ask old roomies about that one!). The dancing was so energetic....I have it on a very bad quality, low lighting, video (which I still cannot figure out how to share with you apart from buying a webspace host....anyone out there got some suggestions?). I will try my best to share this dance with AIESEC locally here. From there it will be all up to the global community whether or not you will see it at conferences and eventually on MTV :).
