on travel technology, hacking and everything else

Well its not everyday you can really camp or party in the Kuwaiti desert but the climate was great and we had tickets so off we went. The “Institution of Engineers (India)” organised this event at a camp in the Multa desert. First off, whoever printed those tickets needs to re-take that engineers exam. Directions showed 5kms from the co-op, when in fact it was about 13kms! So after driving all the way there we probably drove another 35 kms in circles just trying to locate the place.

First impression of the camp… this place is definitely for Indians… who cares if it was actually for the “Red Indians”, the real ones made it here instead. There are a bunch of Tipis setup that give this place a very lively look. Not designed for your average obese citizen in Kuwait and not too comfortable if you plan to stand in them. But its a fun spot to be in for some smooching and stuff.
The usual Arabian tents were a plenty too. The nicest ones were the open gazebos. There was a barbecue pit too but we couldn’t stick around till evening to see it lit.

The party went well. Lots of games, lots of music, plenty of food and tons of fun! We should find a way to do this every Friday after an overburdening week at work!
