Conference In Lebanon, Day 2

In the morning, after breakfast (a very nice intercontinental one), we took off to the Beit Al-Tabib. It is a new medical center for conferences and such things. All companies had booths and most had some sort of games and entertainment. A couple had Q&A games after which you can win some kind of prize. Another had a bartentainer (this is a new word I created meaning: a bartender who entertains through playing with bottles and stuff). Another one had some sort of virtual reality or interactive games. There were lots of doctors and I met some more. Everyone loves my dad (then me by proxy -LOL- although I think I deserved some credit).
I attended some lectures; most speakers were from Egypt or France. And it was a good time for a nap for some people. Attendance greatly diminished after lunch, or as time went by. Some apparently really came to attend the conference and were absent most of the time. Not many cared very much for everything as there aren't any CME points required form us.
Lunch was nice. But what was nicer is the ornamentation of the food. There were a couple of watermelons and a pumpkin carved skillfully into roses and different shapes. I have some photos that will take time to get, but will try to get them soon.
Afterwards, we swam for a bit and later were taken to an Italian restaurant called Vinizia. It actually had a small water pathway made specifically with a couple of gondolas. We occupied the upper floor, and the meal was pretty much similar to yesterdays. No sorbet. This is all of course sponsored by the drug company (Pierre Fabre).
Later half our group went back to the hotel, the rest of us were told that we are going to a nightclub. The place was called Buddha Bar. We were about 18 people left and we arrived at midnight. It is a two-story facility; the inside is of red shades and in the middle rests a huge Buddha statue. The lower level serves as a restaurant and the upper seemed like a regular lounge bar, with a D.J. playing some mystic music. Lots of young people were there chatting and drinking. I was thinking to myself that this isn't a night club but rather a mere lounge. After we had our drinks the music type changed and all of s sudden the whole second level changed into a dancing floor. People would dance in the pathways, or inside the loop they are sitting in… quite amazing. We stayed like that until 2:30 AM. But before that, specifically while playing Zorba's dance, a birthday cake arrived carrying two names, the chief drug rep. (who turned out to be a relative of one of the guys I met last week in Lebanon) and mine (his birthday was then, mine was after 4 days, on the 30th). That was a surprise and I rarely get surprised.
To sum up, the day was fun and I will soon add the details of the third (and last) day of that trip.
