Burning Man is impossible to describe. It's an incredible artistic experiment where around 70,000 people choose to live in the desert for a week and participate as art by constructing a temporary city. It's a place where people are given the freedom to release themselves and be whoever they want. Random hugs are commonplace, the only vehicles allowed to drive are transformed into "artcars", taking the shape of a Sheep or Discofish, no money is expected or exchanged, and everything is art.

This was my first year, and I can't wait to go back.
