Iftar Dinner

Wednesday evening all Honeywell people on site were invited to attend a traditional Iftar dinner. This is an evening meal when Muslims break their fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan. We left off work at 16:00 jumped one of the arranged busses, and headed for the Retaj Al Rayyan Hotel, in the capital Doha. There was a huge variety of traditional food to savour. A very interesting, enjoyable evening. We may look drunk in the picture on the left, but there is of course no alcohol at this function, just having a good time. The meal was followed by a raffle, broken down into groups depending on length of service on site. There were dozens of great prizes, from IPod's to laptops. Of course most prizes went to the usual suspects. You know, the same batch that win every raffle. It always baffles me how it turns out that way. But hey, I'm not bitter! All in all a great evening. As usual I hit the gym, followed by the pool this Friday morning, on another lovely day. Now taking a stroll in the Sun to the cash point outside of camp, to get some local currency (Rijals).
