jeans


Yesterday a vendor offered to sell me a pair of blue jeans. I know that mine are dirty, but it is perhaps the strangest thing I have every been offered at a forum. Someone unclear on the concept.

The forum is arranged around a stadium that increasingly becomes a carnival-type atmosphere. The noise sometimes drowns out sessions, as happened in Mumbai. There aren't lights in the rooms, so by the time stuff wraps up at 8 pm it can be rather dark.

Internet is very intermittent and time is always short, which makes it hard to keep up with the blog. Today is the last day of sessions, with an innovative "4th-day" approach.
