It’s nearly 3 AM and I’m insanely jetlagged and perhaps a little.. uh.. intoxicated with life.. (and the national drinks of at least 20 differnt countires) . It’s nearly 3 AM .. and I can’t really do justice to the large volume of pictures attached. It was a magical day, though.. and I want to get the pictures out before I (hopefully) get to sleep.

I’ll be brief in text..It was an amazing day of sared stories, hopes and interests.  it was basically a day in four acts:

Act 1 L I gave my talk

Act II: I relaxed after my talk

Act III we went on a tour of the Stell artois Brewery

Act IV L we had the most insane multicultureal ethinic dinner/dance/drink off for the 320 odd countries in IEEE Region 8

So.. in that spirit.. Here’s some ultra minimal commentaryL

Act I: my talk: went pretty well

Act II: after the talk: big relief.. lots of clowinging around 

Act III: the beer tour

Act IV: the crazy multi cultural party !
