Wine and Jet lag
Today was the first day of the WINE2007 conference in San Diego. After having breakfast at McDonald’s, I arrived very early and waited for the conference to start.
The first talk was by Nobel laureate Kenneth J Arrow, best known for his Impossibility result in social choice. Surprisingly, the talk about economic equilibrium was rather uninteresting.
I spent the rest of the morning session half-asleep due to jet lag, as there was no flight West before this conference, I had to adjust to waking up a lot earlier.
At the conference, I met many people I knew from Israel or other conferences, including Ola (from the Amazing Race post). Four of us (all Israelis) decided to go and eat together with my car. We drove to one of the restaurants recommended by the conference only to find out it was way over our price range, so we went back and ended up buying prepared food at Safeway and eating it at the hotel.
I decided to skip the last session today and go to bed. Slept for some hours and now woke up again.
