Day+3+Aug.+2nd

First full day of conference and I have been late for everything. Overslept Missed breakfast And first session and keynote speech....

Had some pretty interesting sessions. Performances from several different countries: Nigeria, Cuba, China, Australia (flute)

Decided to leave before final concert and get an early night. Had a meal in my first local restaurant. Found some really nice cold mutton stuffed with walnuts.

Walked through Olympic Park. Lots now closed and so lots of security. Locals coming to sight see too. Walked home at 2000 - obviously the time people walk their dogs. Have seen four pekingese - all fat & snuffly
