Both days were spent similarly: breakfast at 9, homework until around 12 and then we went shopping. On Monday we met Irith on Commercial Street and shopped there and on Tuesday we went to MG Street. We got quite a few things, enjoyed the tuk-tuk rides and managed to shoo away all the people who tried to sell us many different things on street corners.
On Monday we went to hear David Gross at the conference - he talked about the role of theory in research. Tuesday there was a concert of Indian music by a famous vocalist. This is not very easy to listen to for a long period of time so we bailed out after 1.5 hours.
Both nights there were banquets at the hotel - the food wasn't bad and it was nice to talk to different people.
Tomorrow we are going to Irith's place - will be interesting to see how they live. And then it is time for goodbyes - all good things have to come to an end...
