Sheik's Dinner

Ok. So finals week is approaching. Wow. The semester officially ends may 2nd. I've arranged to stay in the dorms until the 9th. Here are some pictures:


All of the study abroad students were invited over to the one of the Sheik's compounds for dinner last week. Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum was an amazing host (pictured in the red hat). He personally served us during dinner and afterwards hosted a target shooting competition. He is a gold medal winner at the Olympic games in Athens for the trap shoot competition. So we talked about guns. He even invited me to go hunting with him in Oman!
