Thought I was under attack.....
As my office mate Jenn says, they really shouldn't be allowed to have fireworks in the Middle East. This past week was the West Asian Games - I was able to see Kuwait, Iran, and Qatar compete in the 10M synchronized diving. Very thrilling stuff.
Anyhow, last night was the closing ceremony. I was sitting in my apartment when I heard a series of loud explosions and felt some small vibrations. My roommate Erin ran up to the roof to see what was going on, and then she explained to me that last year after a bombing they could see smoke in the sky.
We were both relieved to see fireworks above us rather than smoke and ash. Whew.
Occasionally, I forget I'm in the Middle East when something like that happens to remind me.
Other than that excitement, the West Asian Games passed here without too much trouble.
