This afternoon I went to the public lecture by former Prime Minister of Britain Tony Blair. I went with a British guy, so it really saw a very "Anglo" experience. Tony (we're buddies now - first names only) talked mostly about "The Crisis in Global Governance: Challenges and Solutions." But I thought the most interesting thing he talked about is how isolated he was as Prime Minister. Until he left that job this June he did not have a cell phone. He had also never sent an email.
I was pretty far away
There was a Q&A session after his speech. I went up to one of the mics with a question, but they ran out of time and didn't get to me. I wasn't too disappointed, because right after that there was a reception in the foyer with free food and drink that was actually really good.
