Hazing and La Bomba

Walked out of class today to find a guy being legit hazed...in front of school.  No joke, people were pelting him with eggs, flour, honey, milk, chocolate syrup, dulce de leche, you name it, but the weirdest part was he was laughing and smiling through the entire thing.  I was confused to say the least, but apparently this is how Argentine students celebrate graduating from university.  Not sure if that's how I would want to end a glorious four years but hey, its not my tradition!  It sure was entertaining though.

Every Monday night there is a concert called La Bomba de Tiempo in a random outdoor venue called Konex which looks mildly like a bombed out building.  It's a percussion group of about 15 drummers but they also invite other local musicians to accompany them on occassion.  The whole thing basically turns into a huge jam session/rager/place to get your dance on for both Porteños and tourists.  Possibly one of the best nights we have had here so far.  Some info on Bomba de Tiempo.   Needless to say we all needed to go home and shower immediately after La Bomba.
