Day 40 Waiting is my job...:)

 "Biodiversity is Life"... (left is a Russian written poster I found today)

MOP5 started today in Nagoya!!! http://www.cbd.int/mop5/
My job is to work with the camera crew of NHK Int'l, to tell them in brief about the press conference, when the next press conference will be held. It was very interesting to watch how they really do the press conference. Today I saw the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries! So many SPs, security was so strict today! Even the press conference was closed to have it inspected by the police!)

This morning I kind of felt great because when they checked my ID tag on the bar code, the guard said through his walkie-talkie, "This person is a free-pass!", meaning no security check)))

I worked from 8am to 5pm today and there were only 2 press conference today...So most of the time I just had to sit somewhere and wait! WAITING WAS MY JOB))) That is, you know, a bit tiring...I had a book with me but that made me fall asleep) Went to the Cyber Cafe to do some research on COP10 / MOP5, listened to my mp3 player, explored the site...so much time and was so hard to spend time))) Maybe I should study something or really try and read a book!!! Because I am working everyday except Thursday and Sundays until the end of the month! I really CAN DO SOMETHING!!!

I have some interesting stories to share while I was exploring. There was a stand where you could by hotdogs, pizza, fried chicken and stuff and you know what? I found 2 huge spelling mistakes.
Instead of Smoked Turkey, it was Smoked Terkey,
instead of plain hotdog, it was PLANE hotdog!!!
It's an international conference!!!! How could they mispell them?))) And they wrote it SO BIG)))

And look at his photo to your left. You will see this all over the site. You can drink NAGOYA's water for free!
Yeah, it was a great promo, but once you taste it...I think I really cannot recommend this...Sorry, Mr.Mayor, but it was awful....
I see many ad and even on newspapers that NAGOYA water is recommendable and delicious but...there is a big question among the interpreting staff here))) We all tasted it and have the same question...
"Can we really promote this?"
If you have a chance, please try. When I tasted it, it was like I was in a swimming pool....Can't find the right word, nice word to explain but some strange flavor is left in my mouth...I would rather drink my own tap water at home...although I live in the same city...I'm sorry but I would go straight to the vending machine to buy mineral water instead)))
