Group 2: We were split from the beginning. One group traveled a whole week ahead of us. But were destined to meet with our counterparts halfway across the globe. Our only obstacle: the two most tiring flights ever. Our first flight: American Airlines to London. The five and a half hour flight was but a short memory as we each fell right asleep in a nearly empty airplane. When we arrived in

We're finally in a real city! G(ulf)-Unit has really come to appreciate the difference between the Gulf States. After being in Doha (small, but developing quickly) and Bahrain (in the middle), we've been very impressed with the degree to which Kuwait City is developed. They have a couple pretty sweet towers (the Kuwait Towers (original, huh?) and Liberation Tower), a nice skyline, and a few

Blogging the SAS Recruiting Trip So finally it's time for us to blog again. We're still soooo tired; almost slept in this morning out of desperation to savor every last second of precious, precious sleep. Yesterday, we had another 2 presentations in Bahrain which went, as Magdey said, fantabulously. They were at St. Christopher's School and Bahrain Bayan school. We had projectors in British

first of all--let's just clear something up from yesterday. i won the bet. i changed my bid to 1, totally price-is-right style, so...I WIN. love, nadia on to the day: after sleeping about an hour (again) we mechanically funneled our coffee, loaded up our 1000-pound bags, and headed for the airport for our 8 am flight to Bahrain. way to schedule, deena (jk, jk) as if the fact that we were awake

9:30am: We wake up, wayyyy too early. Actually, we were all woken up/went to sleep by the call of the muezzins at 5:30; the cacophany was a little jarring, but it reminded us that we were indeed halfway across the world. After an hour of primping (Magdey takes forever!), we jumped in the car and drove off to our first presentation at Qatar Academy. After getting a little lost--3 girls singing

Well, here we are. Sitting in the family room of the lovely Abdallah residence in Doha, Qatar, where we just indulged in some delicious homecooked food, Qatari-Egyptian-Jersey-style. Well, actually mostly Jersey style. After an almost 24-hour journey from Boston to the Arab Gulf, we are exhausted. Our first recruiting presentation is nine hours, and we can't believe we're actually here and
