We're an olympic village, Yo.
It's been 3 days, 2 newsletters, 2 nobel laureates and a hell whole lot of interviews.It seems like the whole world has converged into Halls 3 & 16
From less known countries like:-
Azerbaijan Republic
Kazakhstan
Kyrgystan
Liechtenstein
(try reciting them 5 times -- great tongue twister)
to more well-known countries like:-
Germany
Portugal
France
Italy
(World Cup Fans -- sound familiar?)
wahaha..
Anyways, I came here with the preconception that I would lose weight and be overworked.
Well, at least i got my overworked prediction right.
There are about 87 countries here in NTU. Spot the Singapore flag!

Get the picture?
haha!
The event is catered, EVERYDAY, for EVERY meal by CJS catering services.
And we're not talking about simple CAI FAN.
I think they can close their financial accounts for the year already what with their feeding the entire world.
Literally.
And accomodations at Hall 16 are great.
Bedsheets, pillows and blankets are all provided for.
It's so clean, hardly any crazy looking insects and the best being that we have free access to the air-conditioning 24/7.
They really took all the extra money from the room fee hike and pumped it all into Hall 3 & 16.
But its a maze just trying to get from one block to another.
And the number of times you have to use your access card to -beep- you in makes you feel that you're living in a high security monitored prison.
-sheesh-
But okay la..
Makes you feel safe
Good for NTU PR
Can you imagine if they were staying at Hall 10?
What with peeping toms, crazy looking insects and underwear stealers.
Wahaha..
