There are some clearly good things going on in the Middle East right now, and a definite cause for optimism. And then there is some things which suggest that change is still far, far away....
Another duality for the day - things are great here in Romania, but I am getting tired of all this conference stuff. 3 hours sleep per night, endless parties and great conversations and loads of fun still do not compensate the fact that 9 days make a LONG conference. Feels like I have been here for a month. I am really looking forward to my three days in Budapest - also known as "best place in the frigging world" once starting from sunday.
Oh, and the conference I am at, International Presidents Meeting, will be held in the Netherlands next year. The combination of IPM and legal marijuana will be frighteningly awesome. Even more awesome, is that after the decision made last night, IPM in February 2007 will be held in....drumroll....CAIRO!!! We worked really hard on securing support for our bid and winning the bid last night against two other really excellent bids felt great.
I really want to be there in 2007 to see it, even if from the perspective of a random tourist onlooker. Big ups Cairo!
