Normal sleeping hours were not really enough to recharge my battery after a long day like yesterday; but excitement of the morning got me up back on track again.
This morning, we were trying to find possibility to meet the president of COP again. We waited in front of the plenary room for a big while but when he came, there were swarming people around him. Impossibility, we had to accept.
On the other hand, I found myself so lucky during the disappointment. Standing around the plenary hall’s entrance, I finally met the head of the delegation from Thailand! His Excellency Yongyuth from the Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment. I was so excited to talk to him but he was very nice in explaining how we support the Kyoto Protocol. Energy efficiency is the main focus for us while a few projects on alternative energies are in process. Although it was a brief talk with him, I had a chance to discuss with other delegates in the team as well. One of them is actually a lecturer in my university; she is also a member of the National Legislative Assembly. A good response, I felt. More works will has to be continued after getting back home…
Coming back to the booth with a big smile, we were thinking hard for other alternatives to meet the president of COP. Suddenly, our photographer ran in and gave us a great news. “He is out! Come on quick!” Without any further words, we all ran to the front entrance. I actually put on our uniform, the red “Kyoto Just Do It!” t-shirt, while running. And there, we got him! Galih presented him a big postcard bearing a message from SolarGeneration, the lanyard, and the Kyoto fan. Great shots, we got out of that as well as big smiles on everyone face. We did it finally! Finally.
