The Belly Dance Festival in New Brunswick, New Jersey!

I remember I was sitting in Brillo's apartment in Reykjavik just a week ago, and I was thinking about Udita, a woman I met during the carneval in Rio de Janeiro four years ago! I called her, and said “Udita, remember me? I will be in your city next week!!!”



New Brunswick

Udita!!!

After I said goodbye to Chloé, Emma and Matt at the train station, I travelled to New Brunswick, a small city in New Jersey! It took me and Udita about 30 seconds to realize that the reunion was a really good idea! She picked me up at the train station, and when I heard the loud Arabic music from the car that stopped in front of me I knew that this had to be Udita.

The best sushi so far!

The view from the hotel room!

After a short guided trip around in her city, and the best sushi meal ever, she told be the biggest surprise; she wanted me to be a guard at a belly dance festival. In fact she had already booked a hotel room, and about 30 minutes later I was surrounded by women in all ages and body types, dressed in belly dance dresses! I have to admit that I have never seen so many well dressed exotic women at one place ever before!!!



Belly dancers!








I also have to tell you that belly dancers really know how to party!!!




Thanks a lot Udita for giving me a cool surprise. Hope to see you again during the summer!!!

Corridor fun!
