JP October/Ramadan Meet-Up

I think that everyone who attended this meeting would agree that it was far from typical and that it was a lot of fun. Ramadan spirit was surrounding us and we shared a nice Iftar in this holy month with people we like, admire and respect. Not only it was a gathering of friends, but it was also a meeting for great minds who think and act differently.

We started the meeting at the Belle View Hotel, where we were greeted and met with great respect and a high level of professionalism and hospitality. I went a little earlier before Iftar time to make sure that all was arranged, and when I reached the room that was arranged for our meeting, I found the General Manager and the Food and Beverage Manager supervising the arrangement themselves and that they took care of all details.

I really like this hotel a lot; their service is highly personalized and they do care about their clients; they are keen on getting feedback regarding everything they do which is something that I admire in any organization.

The food was very good; they have provided us with a good variety to meet different tastes. We had soups, salads, main dishes, sweets and beverages; just check the pictures below and you will know what I am talking about.

We had some new comers this time and missed other regulars, we wished that everyone could have made it to the meeting but it is expected that some were previously engaged especially on a Thursday evening.

After we finished our Iftar, Jad suggested that we go to the Old View Café to sit together and get a chance to get to know each other especially for the new comers; I really have to thank Jad for this suggestion because we had so much fun and discussed many issues like the censorship over Skype website from TRC in Jordan and what we can do to make a difference; Isam was leading this very important discussion and our thanks go to him.

We also had a chance to remember some of our childhood cartoon and even sang a few of their songs.

I have to say that we talked about Qwaider a lot and it seemed that there were many among us who had confrontations and/or arguments with him; he even wrote dedicated posts about some and it was finally suggested that we should have a Qwaider Victims Club; Be careful Qwaider, the members are increasing )

I will leave you with some of the pictures taken tonight … enjoy!
