Indonesia Day 6

I have reached the last day of this event!

I am getting old, staying up late and waking up early is not sustainable for many days and I finally slept early last night.

Today, the breakfast was different as compared to the previous days. Porridge, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg etc were served. Freshly made scrambled eggs were still available and I have always been the first few to arrive to have my breakfast.

Looking back, this meeting was real compact - a lot of info was stuffed down our throats, a lot of issues were raised for further discussion and examination, a lot of challenges to be faced in this near future, especially from the increasing demands from the government and the public, a lot of work to be done back "home"!

This event has served as a platform for representatives from all over the world to meet and interact, to develop rapport for future collaborations, to share our concerns in this profession etc. Finding replacement for us is a universal problem; most representatives present are quite "senior" and we all agreed an urgent need to find and train younger generations to keep this profession going.

The Closely Ceremony was done in a hase as PR of Indonesia was unable to attend due to work committment; Indonesia has just suffered twin disasters whick took away more than 400 lives. Dr Alexandar didn't appear too, so I was glad to have a photo with him on Monday.

By noon, the venue appeared empty and many participants either busy packing their luggages or went to the Botantical Garden which was arranged at the last minute.

Time to return home to start working! I will try to see the participants again four years later and hope that by then, I can accomplish some tasks mentioned during this event.
