It's a world full of humans unfortunately and they're unpredictably fantastical.

Re: Iftar meetups
... and most Iftar's are shite.
You stand in a room looking at a great buffet with people starving to eat it. Then the bell rings and it's like animals to the feeding pot. 15mins later, everyone is stuffed and giggy. 30mins after that the hotel kicks you out so they can set up for Sohar.
So you have probably 60mins in the room: 15 looking at the food with people wanting to faint, 15 eating, 15 passing out, 15 getting ready to leave.
Of course, it shouldn't be like that... but that's generally how a 5* hotel iftar works.
