News TEDxSummit in Doha with @dbirdy: Day 5 & 6
Desert Day!
Posted By Desiree Kane on Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 9:06 AM
TEDxSummit Desert day shenanigans!
Today I climbed up the side of a sand dune (which was surreal considering that's literally sitting on top of one of the world's top energy supplier's supply), got henna, hung out with a Moroccan blogger, Khalid Marbou, and a blogger from Ghana, Mac-Jordan Degadjor, plus rode a camel!
We came back to the conference, Mac-Jordan got to meet TEDx's main boss, Laura Stein (which is a big deal to us TEDxers), all 700+ of us had dinner, and then we went out to the Wham at the W Hotel.
For all you clubbers out there, get a load of this!:
This is at the W Hotel at their club called Wham. Pimped out in an understatement.
