Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Last year we went to experience the Klampenborg Gallop Derby with some good friends. We dressed up and the women were wearing nice hats as it is customs for these events. We had a very interesting day at the race track - so when we had the chance this year to get VIP tickets to the yearly Dar es Salaam Charity Goat Race, which I guess is the closest you get to the more homely Klampenborg Gallop Derby, we said to ourselves: "why not check it out?", "How bad can it be?", "Let's live a little!" As it happened it turned out to be a very different and fun experience indeed!
With the actual goat races being the center of attention, the event was also a multi cultural charity event, where the masters of ceremony were like stand-up comedians and did not shy away from insulting the participants and their backgrounds; "MAKE AMERICA GOAT AGAIN" the voice from the oversized speakers blasted out.
People were dressed up in all sorts of costumes and the atmosphere were all a bit crazy - just the way we like it...
