Al Gore and More!

live updates:
i am writing now while standing in line going into th BC. there are ALOOOOT of people. the metro had to stop one stationn in advance (at Sunby) and we walked to th BC. I AM NOW STANDING IN THIS HUGE LINE, HOLDING BTHE unicef 15 inch laptop trying to type (with one finger). aall the NGOs got a limited re4striction of access cards to enter the center. so not all WAGGGS delegates will be able to enter today!
i am now inside, getting ready for security check......


ok, now i am in the BC and i just got the opportunity to watch Arnold Schatzinegger and Al Gore, but I did not take them since I have a non formal education this after noon with the Danish Scouts...

ok, updates again!! i am watching both of them speak today! got the tickets! wohoo..gogo


later during the day:
it is now 5 pm, Prisca Myriam and I had an interview with an RFI radio reporter. That was a good experience. I also had the chance to meet environment ministry members of Pakistan as well as Emirates.
As for now, I just exited from a speech by Al Gore. He was introduced to stage by the kind words of Yvo de Bore. (Other than the fact that I was super tired/sleepy and fell asleep twice during the speech), he was a very good public speaker! He started his speech by relating to a personal event that had happened to him earlier this week. He then told a story that an old lady had told him some 20 years ago. And finally concluded the introduction with a joke that made the crowd laugh. As he continued his 1 hour speech, he gave several facts and figures from scientific calculations of what climate change is, how it is affecting the citizens of the Earth and what we should do to solve it.
In the end in his conclusion, Al Gore gave some inspirational words of hope and raised the tone of his voice in enthusiasm for a FAB (Fair Ambitions Binding) agreement soon (if not in COP15, then next year in Mexico!) Cheers and clapps and all of a sudden Al Gore disappeared from the closest door.

Other WAGGGS delegates had also the opportunity to attend Arnold Schwatzinegger (?spelling?) 's speech! I had tickets for that session too, but arrived 10 minutes late for the conference and was not allowed to enter becaue the room was full of people!

I also have a meeting in around an hour with the 'Selection Commitee'.
