When you put together a fountain of chocolate, a mountain of Krispies and bucketfuls of coffee (with or without some punch on the side), you get an excuse for an unmatchable party of titanic proportions, perfect for taking a break from the mundane and for once, go all out and indulge in some activities that one would not normally be caught doing at all.

With residents coming from all different parts of the globe, it would be natural to assume that it would be pretty hard to please everyone, but it seems that despite this, there is such a thing as universal love when it comes to fun and games, in the form of Nintendo Wii game consoles, and a whole chain of computers all set to pit one against the other on the race track.

After loading up on sugar stores, games were the perfect way to unload off all of the energy that everyone suddenly found themselves having, be it air-boxing each other's characters on a screen, or kicking up dust on a virtual track. As expected, everyone who was game ended up happy on chocolate, coffee, donuts and everything else that is nice.
