Meeting Day 1: Everything's fine
I woke up at 6 a.m., the sun was about to rise and everything's quiet. As there were some cumulus at the horizon I didn't get the sun until it's high enough, but I still wait at the balcony until the sunlight reach my face. It's nice, although not yet spectacular. I'll manage to get every sunrise while at El Conquistador.
Then I went to the restraut for the complimentory breakfast. I did have problems though, since I'm neither familiar with the customs nor with the food's name. It's, actually, funny, but I finally find way to work everything out and get myself fed.
I finally got into the oral talks session. Thankfully I'm getting myself used to listen to complex and speeding English now. Although I cannot understand every word them say, but at least, no problem for understanding what they want to express without paying too much attention, so I'll not be too tired.
I went to the Pluto session in the morning and listen to two talks about the occultation of Pluto, but they didn't interest me much. I had wish there would be free lunch supplies, but unfortunately, no... instead there were sandwiches at a price of $15 @_@ so I ate nothing.
I was highly anticipated the 2008 TC3 session in the afternoon, it indeed turned out to be an interesting one. Dr. Peter Jenniskens -- a big-name scientist which I had heard of for many times -- served as chair, and gave a report about the recovery of TC3 meteoroids. After the session I went into front and had a nice acadamic chat with Peter and other big-name scientists, everything works great, it seems I had overestimate the difficulties.
The only problem might be eating. As the price is terrible here, I'd rather to bear hungry. But there are still ways -- since the breakfast is free, I can eat as much as I can in the morning, then take some biscuits and coffee at the break, then it should work fine. Anyway, tomorrow will be a busy day, with several lectures by prize-holders, and dozens of posters and talks, I must get myself well prepared. Nevertheless today is a good start.
