\t\t\t\t\t\t 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ll be brief in text..It was an amazing day of sared stories, hopes and interests.\u00a0 it was basically a day in four acts:<\/p>\n

Act 1 L I gave my talk<\/p>\n

Act II: I relaxed after my talk<\/p>\n

Act III we went on a tour of the Stell artois Brewery<\/p>\n

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

So.. in that spirit.. Here’s some ultra minimal commentaryL<\/p>\n

Act I: my talk<\/b>: went pretty well<\/p>\n

Act II<\/b>: after the talk:<\/b> big relief.. lots of clowinging around\u00a0
