Still in Amsterdam..good day at work today ..\u00a0 siting in a different hotel tonight. this one much, much nicer.\u00a0 my friend Djeevan dropped me off here .. we had a beer then he headed home.. I doidn’t feel like talking to anyone so i just headed up to my room. Luckily I found a cheese sandwich from breakfast still in my briefecase so thats what I ended up eating for dinner…\u00a0\u00a0 i know that sounds like a weirdway to spend my last night in one of the worlds most exciting cities.. but it was a very good\u00a0 cheese sandwich !<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My work day was busy and fulfilling.. several very productive work meetings then some great meetings with journalists.. This guy Adjit was really amazing.. a futurist writing a book on water.. He told me that Hindus are not allowed to drink recycled water.. I asked if it might be better to call it reincarnated water.. he was going to check on it !.<\/p>\n
