Exams are Over! Let's Party!

In Al Husn we live next door to a college.  Most days the streets are full of young people and cars.  Last week we heard a big commotion down the street and went to investigate.  We could hear loud music playing, so we knew it must be a celebration of some sort.  Someone told us the dancing was to celebrate the end of semester exams.

Yes, they're holding hands.  No, they're not gay.

The street was full of young men (no girls) dancing to arabic music and throwing each other up into the air.  Alcohol and drugs aren't allowed for Muslims--it was just good old-fashioned guy fun!  

 This old man came riding up on his horse and joined in.  Everyone loved it.

Even the hot buttered corn man.

It this a crazy country or what?????

P.S.  There are no organized sports here, so the end of exams is the only thing they can get excited about.
