Long day today, short blog update. I will upload pics in the morning. However, there aren't a lot of pics since the palace doesn't allow interior photography. Sigh.
Morning was spent working on my project for the EWC, and I eventually finished the first draft right before I typed up this post.
A lunch lecture (and free lunch) about globalization in South Asia with a former high ranking UN figure. It was Thai food, which was pretty good, and the lecture was pretty good, but he was under time constraints and he ran very quickly through his material in just 50 minutes. Compared to some of the other people we have heard from, I wish he had a full 3 hours. Then it was back to the dorm at 2 pm, and I quickly ran off to Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu. I loved the palace and the self guided audio tour which took about an hour. I bought a few trinkets, and then took the bus back because we had a movie tonight. It was the worst movie in the world, and I mean I have seen bad movies, but this was 174 minutes of pure 1970s Indian schlock. It's considered a great movie in India, especially when it was released, but it was bad. I want my three hours back!
Then it was off for frozen yogurt with Lisa, a walk across campus discussing what we did today and some personal things that we have been discussing throughout the trip, and then back to my room around 10:15. More work on the project, this blog and bed soon. However, I have to be up at 3:50 in the morning so I can attend a committee meeting at Florida Tech. That should be fun. I might be able to get back to sleep, who knows.
Anyway, only two more days of this workshop and then a day off, before starting the WWII workshop.
