Remember the amount of drunks crashing near the wateredge and the amount of aphetamine brained idiots making half the place unsafe to even just stand.
I have to agree with you on this one - there were a whole lot of people whose behaviour was somewhat annoying, reckless and/or inconsiderate. Still, having said this I must admit I was one of them last year (I may not have been inconsiderate, but I was drunk as hell - as you propably remember) and this year I was more aware of these people mostly because I personally took only a couple of beers + one Jägermeister-Redbull.
Stigu:
Sorry mon where were you?
Mostly either taking photos or checking out the slides with my friends.
Stigu:
I was jostled and pushed around in the crowd. Last year if someone brushed you they'd turn and apologise. No such politeness or decent behviour his year.
I actually tried to avoid the crowd as much as possible most of the time and was pretty successful with it. The only times I had some trouble with people pushing and shoving were the ones I felt an urge to smoke a cigarette and get a drink from the bar.
Stigu:
The crowd seemed a lot more selfinvolved, almost degenerated.
Unfortunately this is a problem that involves the whole "scene" and not only this particular event. In a year things have changed quite a bit - more and more people are becoming aware of these events and the "social codes" that used to live among clubbers haven't been passed on to the new generation all that well. There is more and more of this "the rules don't apply to me"-attitude, which is really a shame.

Still, after all this I have to say I had a blast at Serena. Even having to remind some people of the rules during the evening didn't ruin my good mood and even though I can hardly swim I had a great time using the slides, the tubes and other facilities while listening to the tunes delivered by the DJ's.
Next year (I'm counting on a new Pacifique already...) I'll take photos of whatever ill behaviour I witness. Seeing yourself (and being aware that other people see the same photos also) smoking on the poolside, wearing shoes in the pool area, swimming with a pair of jeans on, drinking your own drinks or taking drinks from the bar area to the pool area, shagging in the pools or whatever is propably the ultimate punishment anyway.
