I haven't flown a kite since I was a kid. Here in Kuwait, it's actually a fairly popular pasttime. Pictured above are two types of kites-one is the simple kind that you run behind and hope it gets into the air.
The other one was shown to me by JeanPaul, a new aquaintance, as he was trying to get enough air so that it would lift him off the group. The "real" way you're supposed to use this kite is to jump off a cliff and then float for as long as the winds allow. We were fresh out of cliffs on the day in the desert, but it was still fairly cool to see this.
It just goes to show you that you're never too old to be a kid.
