Making my money's worth (Part II)
Ken Livingstone was visiting today. The event was called "London Conference" and it wasn't in one of the main lecture theatres but in a secluded seminar room in the library top floor. Most folks were from outside. Journalists and committee members. The event wasn't much publicised either.
Fortunately I had a break at exactly the same time Ken Livingstone was to address the conference. Dashed off with MAS to the library. We find out the way to enter the lifts for the "secluded" seminar room. And hey! Right there in front of us, in a light brown suit and a back-pack was the mayor himself! With two members of staff. So we got to travel in the same lift.
Interesting to see his objective, detailied analysis on specific issues pertaining to the city. There's a huge gap between political systems of the east and west (along with the social, economic and information systems).

I get the feeling you are in England to stay
really? from that post?
Anyways, not sure. There are no plans as of now, which is not a bad feeling. But I couldn't stay for "long." Being an "international citizen" of the world is something that just doesn't come easily. Maybe it would be different if you knew people back home were on social security and living in council houses and taken care of.
