On my annual vacation to North America. This time I'm in Las Vegas, a place I haven't been too for at least 6 years.
Turns out it was both Superbowl weekend and Chinese New Year so the place was packed. I was at the MGM watching the game and the lines to place bets were massive.
Did go see Penn & Teller at the Rio, one of my favourite magician acts. They put on a great show and afterwards meet the crowds in the lobby for pictures.
As expected so far I'm losing at the tables. Hopefully the luck turns around.
In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .
