From our first Burning Man experience in September 2005 in Nevada, USA. It's a one week hard to describe event that takes place in a desert. I started to write something about it but I don't yet when it will be finished... In an indecent shortcut of one sentence, I would say: "it’s a camping ground in the middle of a desert set up for few days attracting enough people for metamorphosing it like a non-financial philanthropic closed-community where ideas from transcended spirits became materialized".
