Dubai AI Meetup
**What this is about?**
This is a meetup group focused on AI. We meet every Saturday at 7:30pm at DIFC.
Usually there are up to 30 people from different backgrounds, such as AI programmers, rocket engineers, physicists, marketing, designers, investors... But it's also meant for people who have no background in AI and are looking for more insight. This is a very casual group for everyone, no presentations, you can pitch your AI business idea or discuss your favorite Terminator movie.
We meet at the Stage Area (next to S&C Music, see directions https://imgur.com/a/QIvYOvT ) above the Carrefour market at DIFC, just look for a group of people there without board games (if you see board games, that's another group). The group is free and there is no requirement to buy anything. There is free wifi.

Why walk when you can CRAWL??? 😜
Wild Wheels | Scooter Journey Across Northern Vietnam
**Jaw dropping moments** await travelers who reach the Northeast province of Cao Bang in Vietnam. **Jagged mountains, endless limestone karts, winding rivers and massive cascading waterfalls** will be the well-earned award for those who conquer the **windy, zig-zagged roads** and wobbly hanging bridges on scooter. The lush landscape will surprise you at every turn, but then… you feast your eyes on lush waterfalls the colour of emerald and jade.
This is not a trip for the faint hearted or the comfort seeking. **This is raw, unfiltered, off the grid Vietnam,** where the roads are as untamed as the landscape they carve through. Sheer drops plummet hundreds of metres, hairpin bends that demand total respect, and suspension bridges that sway like acrobats over raging rivers. The Ha Giang – Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark and the remote borderlands of Cao Bang are some of **the wildest, least touristed mountain regions in Southeast Asia**. Here, the asphalt is often broken, gravel sections appear without warning, and the weather can flip from blazing sun to thick fog in minutes. **You will ride where Google Maps fears to tread**, through territory still dominated by H’mong, Tay, Dao and Nung villages that see more **buffalo carts than foreign scooters.**
Renowned for **vast lakes and chalky karsts**, towering over the rugged landscapes of Cao Bang, the Ba Be National Park’s is a sumptuous valley carved from the flow of the Quay Son River. The serenity is dramatically broken when the **river reaches a 300 meter-wide limestone ledge**, and drops sharply down several terraces, creating the Ban Gioc Waterfall – one of Vietnam’s most impressive natural sights.
**Ban Gioc breaks records** the world over for not only being the **largest waterfall in Asia**, but the fourth largest to run along a national border with a **width of over 250 meters and three cascade drops of 70 meters.** Separated into three falls by rocks and trees, Ban Gioc’s thunderous roar of the water hitting the cliffs **can be heard kilometers away.**
Whether you pick a spot on a pebbly beach, a grassy bank, decide to perch on a boulder in a stream or lay in the curved trunk of a tropical tree –you will no doubt be moved by one of the **most romantic views Vietnam has to offer**. For those feeling extra adventurous we can even wander further up the side of the falls for even more spectacular views from the top of the cascades. It may sound like a dream, but it is in fact one of the **most picturesque parts of Asia**, and we can’t wait to see you there!
**Lets go!**
**Day 1: Arrival to Hanoi**
Arrival, immigration procedure, transfer to hotel. Trip briefing, overnight. Optional sneak peek on local night life.
**Day 2: Hanoi – Ha Giang - Quan Ba – Dong Van**
Transfer to pick up our scooters. Following an orientation and safety briefing we begin our ride uphill to Quan Ba. As we ride we’ll soak in spectacular views of mountains and villages until we reach the ‘heaven gate’ in Tam Son. Hike around Quan Ba visiting the Twins Hill and the Nam Dam ethnic village of Dao, followed by lunch in Yen Minh – known for its local organic food. We then continue our ride uphill towards the Rocky Highland and Karst Plateau on the way to Dong Van, followed by a visit to the historic Vuong King’s Palace.
**Day 3: Dong Van- Meo Vac**
After breakfast we head out for a ride to Lung Cu Flagpole on the Chinese border.
Road winds through multiple switchbacks climbing the backbone of a limestone ridge right on the Chinese frontier. You’ll ride past ancient stone forests, H’mong hill tribe hamlets with hemp fields, and the northernmost point of Vietnam marked by the Lung Cu flag tower, in complete silence except for your engine and the wind howling through the karsts.
We then continue to ride through zig-zagged roads towards the Ma Pi Leng pass, where we stop for a unique 360° panorama of the river Nho Que between cliffs. Often called “Sky Path” it is actually a narrow ribbon of road chiselled into a vertical 1600 m cliff face above the turquoise Nho Que River. Locals call it “the place where even the horses tremble.”
We then move on to the lively market town of Meo Vac. Tonight, we stay in a guest house.
**Day 4: Meo Vac – Bao Lac**
Exciting day ahead as although today’s road may be short, it’s windy and rugged. We’ll be going slow to ensure everyone’s safety.
Drive to Ma Pi Leng Pass for some selfies with oh and ahh from the panoramic peak.
The road from Meo Vac to Bao Lac is a forgotten masterpiece of the old “Happiness Road” (the hand-built cliff highway constructed by 1,300 young volunteers in the 1960s). Expect broken asphalt, loose gravel, blind corners, sheer drops, and stretches so narrow that two scooters can barely pass. We deliberately ride slow and in tight formation – safety first!
After the pass, the road plunges into a hidden limestone canyon almost nobody talks about. Towering rock needles, wild corn fields clinging to 70-degree slopes, and tiny Lolo and H’mong villages that still use wooden water wheels. This stretch feels like riding through Jurassic Park on two wheels.
Continue riding until we arrive at Bao Lac, where we’ll check into a comfy hotel. Late afternoon is free to explore the colourful local market or just kick back with a sunset drink overlooking the Gam River.
After dark we hit Bao Lac’s surprisingly lively “people’s square,” think karaoke, 10-cent draught bevies, and locals who will insist on toasting every foreigner who rides in on a scooter.
**Day 5: Bao Lac – Ban Gioc Waterfall**
Today’s another long one, with a 130 km ride from Bao Lac to Cao Bang – renowned for its gorgeous landscapes and fresh cool air. A 40 km descent that runs through 27 numbered turns. The road hugs the Vietnam – China border so closely that at one point you’re literally riding with one wheel in each country. Emerging from the mist at the bottom reveals Ban Gioc in full roar, an explosive reward that feels earned with every twist of the wrist.
**Day 6: Ban Gioc Waterfall – Hanoi**
Ban Gioc waterfall is simply jaw-dropping... Welcome to Asia’s largest waterfall! We hop on traditional bamboo rafts piloted by local Tay families and drift to the foot of the cascades, metres from where Vietnam meets China. Feel the mist explode over you as 30-metre walls of turquoise water crash down. You can also can grab a kayak or simply strip down and swim in the natural pools right beneath the falls. The water is surprisingly warm, the current is strong, and the roar is deafening. In fact, **this is one of the very few places on earth where you can legally swim on an international border.**
A short but steep trail leads to the upper ledge on the Vietnamese side for the ultimate postcard panorama: the full 300-metre width of the falls framed by jungle-clad karsts.
After a late lakeside lunch of grilled fish and fresh herbs, we say goodbye to the borderlands. The scooters get loaded onto the support truck and transfer back to Hanoi in a van with several stops on the way.
**Day 7:** **Hanoi**
Well deserved rest - free time at leisure, late check out. Airport transfer for flight home after midnight **(on Day 8)**. Bye bye Vietnam!
**Activities:** Riding, trekking, swimming, boating, sightseeing.
**Accommodation & meals:** Local meals included during the ride, shared rooms in 3-star hotels and guest houses. Restaurant meals on transfers and in Hanoi excluded.
**Scooters:** Automatic scooter bikes (Yamaha Nouvo Automatic 125CC or similar), truck support.
**Van option**: available for non-riders.
**Cost: 4600 AED riders, 4990 AED non-riders** until MAR 05.
**Specifically excluded:** Flights, compulsory travel + medical insurance, visas, meals in Hanoi and meals on transfers, single supplement.
**Flights:** Flights are not included in trip budget. Emirates EK 394 / EK 395 at 4300 AED.
**Visas:** E-visa or visa upon arrival. Visa support available.

Let's Create with Jaina and Michelle
Welcome to the first Let's Create.
You will receive supplies to create one or more cards (but not the one pictured .. not this month anyway). These events are usually held at Day's Paper Palace (my home). However, this is a placeholder for the event and it may be moved to the Grove City Library.
If you are new, you will not need to bring supplies. They will be provided.

Hybrid MI Python: Monthly Talk

**Opening Talk:**
Luisa will demo a sassy AI-powered plant built in FastAPI using GPT-4o to explore personality, dialogue design, and human-AI interaction.
**Main Talk:**
What about using certain CLIs puts a smile on your face and gets you telling all your friends and colleagues about it?
The Unix philosophy emphasizes simplicity, modularity, and the idea that programs should do one thing well and work together. However, CLI programs are primarily used by humans. Programs that you actually enjoy using can achieve both of these aims of composability and human-centeredness.
This talk explores what makes CLIs great: fast, trusted, and delightful. Through real-world examples from modern tools like uv, cargo, ripgrep, and GitHub CLI, you'll learn the design patterns that separate good CLIs from great ones.
Whether you're building package managers, creating developer tools, or just curious why modern CLIs feel so much better, you'll leave with a practical checklist of techniques to apply to any CLI tool you build.
**Agenda:**
7:00pm - Opening announcements
7:10pm - Opening Topic - Build an AI-powered, Sassy Speaking Plant
7:25pm - Main Topic - Designing Delightful CLIs with Python
7:50pm - Q&A
