another conference, day 1: first impressions.

so i'm currently in krakow, attending the ecm (european congress of mathematicians) and i must say, the meeting is big enough to .. confusing.

fool that i was, i registered just the day before the conference .. and are among the "unregistered" badge-less few. on the other hand, i'm not 300€ poorer yet .. (-:

on the plus side, though ..

• there's (decent) coffee everywhere and it's even served in cups and saucers.
• at the various book stands, i got a free issue of revista, as well as a free calendar.

(more thoughts to come ..)
