Congress of Rio 2008

Anecdote
After a day of attending the conferences, working workshops, display stands, etc, here was the chance to go back to the hotel. The organisation of the Congress made sure that the participants had shuttles buses to get us to the hotel. But as our day was ending in Rio de Janeiro, the driver of the bus did not know how to arrive to our hotel.

To avoid such confusion, some participants walked to their hotels while others shared taxis. Forgetting how tired we all were, we finally got a good laugh after all the mix up. After this adventure, we can say that we are of true "Cariocas" (inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro), or almost!
