The conference is over... and I'm in Goa baby....
I've got a bunch of stuff that didn't make it up during the conference, but once again, it'll be added to the list of stuff that I have to post from my laptop.
The conference was a lot of fun, but was draining in so many different ways. I made it to 3 parties on some days, which is just exhausting, since you have to be "on" for the full time. Some of the people I was meeting weren't interested in exchanging pleasentries, and instead were far more interested in grilling me on minutia of Canadian Patent Practice. An odd thing happenned... I realised that I'm probably better on the minutia of U.S. Patent Practice, which isn't really all that surprising when you figure that that's what I spend more of my time doing.
I met lots of really cool people from all over the place, and I definitely think that I'll be keeping in contact with a good number of them.
But now on to the fun stuff... I stayed in Delhi for an extra day to do 3 parties on the Wednesday, and this morning (at an ungodly early hour) I left the hotel to head off to Goa. Unfortunately due to the vast quantities of food that I had been served last night, I didn't really get to sleep until about 30 minutes before I had to wake up. I ended up being able to catch a later flight out of Delhi and connect to the same flight from Mumbai to Goa, so I ended up with about 90 minutes of sleep. I slept on both flights and the drive to the hotel here.
The hotel is pretty cool; and is well situated. I'm not on the beach (meaning that I can get sleep when I want to without disturbance), but I'm only 5 minutes from the beach. I'm also about 50 feet from the hotel swimming pool so my swimming trunks that I bought at Deerhurst planning to use them there finally got their first use.
I'll try to report back tomorrow to let you know if the night life in Goa lives up to the reputation. I'm going to head off and see if I can meet some of the other guests and then get some decent seafood.
