Sensation White... and I Don't Mean the Tooth Paste

After our Brussels extravaganza, we traveled to Hasselt, Belgium to Sensation White. This party goes from 9 pm to 6 am and everyone is required to wear white, hence the name. The only way I can really describe this to you is by saying it's a rave. There are multiple DJs throughout the night playing techno music. You could only imagine the people I came in contact with. There were 55,000 people in one arena, but everyone could surprisingly keep their privacy bubble... if they wanted to. Words can't explain so I will just post videos and let you see for yourself.

Since I had already been traveling the entire weekend, I was pretty tired. I managed to soldier through until about 4 am. I decided I needed a nap so I took a break from the stage I had deemed mine and went up into the nosebleed seats with my friend Kurt who said he'd lookout while I snoozed. Fifteen minutes later, I woke up feeling energized and ready to go. My second wind carried me through another two-and a-half hours of stage raving and the ride home. I figured when I got home I would collapse in my bed, but the actual opposite happened. I didn't get to bed until 9 pm that night. 

Sensation was a great time. The music was great and the special effects were insane and I didn't end up in jail... like another American in Maastricht. I'll keep her name confidential to preserve what little dignity she has left. I wish I could do it all over again, but maybe during the day because my sleep patterns are seriously off now.
