A few weekends ago my Sacred Texts class accompanied the Buddhist class to a Buddhist retreat house. The monk who ran the house was a successful in business and then decided to trade that in to become a monk. With his money from business he bought the side of a mountain and built a retreat house that not many people know about. Our teacher is friends with the monk so we were allowed to go for a visit. During the visit the monk taught us different styles of meditation and we got to see how his style of living. The place was beautiful because it was so peaceful and quite. We were on the retreat for about two hours total.
The next set of pictures are from Drink ball, a game that I had never heard of until just the other day. The object of the games is to throw a ping pong ball at your opponents’ bottle. Once the ball hits the bottle your teammate has to drink your beer as quick as he can until the opposing team finds the ball and hits the table with it. You alternate throwing and teams until the first team finished their beer. As you can imagine this got really intense and slippery because 4 bottles fell and broke. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
The last two pictures are from this past Friday night when we went to the Armin Van Buuren rave at the GT Banana. Armin is apparently one of the top 5 djs in the world and the GT Banana had a ton of people there to prove it. In preparation for this event we decided to go to the store and buy some rave outfits. Unfortunately these are only pictures of our outfits and not of the rave itself. There is a link to a video on Youtube than can explain it better.
