Mayfest!

Ok... How to describe Mayfest... Well, I'll cover the important parts first! During Mayfest, tents are set-up all over campus by the university and by the different with tables and chairs are set up by the university and by the various student associations. And, these are there so that people can sit down and drink. All day, and all night. Literally. Some people don't even go home for the whole week, seriously. Apart from that, activities, shows and food stalls are also all over campus, making it a week of partying. Needless to say, classes were even more laid back than usually!

Gliding from the top of the student union building! Too bad that there was a wire to guide it, it would be much more interesting otherwise!


This is where you pay to beat up one of the members of the boxing team (since they're not allowed to fight back).


Tents selling food, cell phones and... alcohol! Yes, in the middle of the day. You take it to class with you, it makes time pass more quickly!



I don't really know what they were up to...


Tents full of alcoholics, *oups!* I mean Koreans!


Bunch of Korean girls singing Moulin Rouge (see video)




Breakdancers.


Traditional drumming.


Rollerblader dressed as a flying squirrel
(you get used to this kinda stuff after a while!)




They are opposed to American beef. Can you tell?


The night scene, where the drinking really begins (no that's not quite true, it doesn't actually end for the whole week...)


Hip-hop concert to protest student fee hikes.
