Sunday Evening

This afternoon we moved to the hotel where we'll be staying during the meetings. After getting settled and having supper in one of the restaurants, we decided to walk outside. The first thing we noticed was a huge crowd gathering near the hotel. As far as we could see, it was an all-male crowd. We wondered if it was a celebration, a rally, or what. One of the parking valets at the hotel told us that it was just the weekly Sunday evening get-together of young foreign workers from India and Bangladesh. He assured us that it would be perfectly safe to walk around. It was a bit crowded, but we walked a few blocks, stopped at a store to buy some eye drops, and found our way back to the hotel. We're apparently on the edge of Little India, near where we walked yesterday. The photo was after we got away from the worst of the crowd.

The meetings start in the morning. I'll report as I can.
