This is why I dig blogging: authentic, first-hand accounts of the weird and wonderful wider world. Over at Mental Mayhem, Jordanian blogger Natasha writes about a recent visit to the camel races:
People here follow the race by driving their SUV’s around the outside of the 2-km long track beeping and hollering. We did the same. All packed into Rajnit’s SUV, we chased those racing camels. We did that for the following rounds as well and believe me when I tell you, it was exhilarating. I have never seen anything like it in my life.
Sounds to me like a recipe for a massive camel-and-SUV pile-up, but what do I know?
