hmpfThe connection's ridiculously bad, though, and there aren't enough power outlets (my poor laptop needs one because the battery is gone), so I doubt I'll be posting much. But, hey! Connection to the world: check.
So. I arrived safely today, after a one-night stopover at my aunt's. The train was full of activists and delegates and so on - you could tell by the reading matter and conversations all around. (And some of the activists and protesters did look the part, too. We've all been asked to wear neutral clothing, but I don't think anybody got a special, neutral haircut for the occasion... *g*)
Didn't see anything of the city yet - as expected - but may get some opportunity for that tomorrow. (Plus, possibly we'll be visiting one of the Greenpeace ships tomorrow. Two of them are here at the moment.) After tomorrow we'll mostly be working, though, so there won't be much tourist-like activity.
Accommodation is *very* basic - which is also pretty much as expected. We're staying at this warehouse complex in the harbour area, and we're sleeping on military-issue (I think) bunks. I'm going to go to bed in a moment, as we have to get up really early in the morning.
Food, on the other hand, is unexpectedly awesome. Vegan/vegetarian *and* very tasty! (Interesting discovery of the day: there is a vegetarian/vegan minced meat substitute which looks and tastes pretty much exactly like the original - which is actually not so awesome for me, because I don't *like* minced meat, even leaving aside the 'meat' issue. I don't like the texture, never did. Anyway, the chili-like stew we ate today was still great, even if I had to leave some of the meat substitute stuff.)
Well... and this is me signing off. Good night!
