Seventh Day in Kuala Lumpur

Today was a conference day. We were first briefed by a member of SWEA Japan about the situation there. It was quite sad but the girls are real troopers. The first guest speaker was the ambassador who talked about Sweden and Asia and all the developments over here. He informed us that 60% of all the people in the world live in Asia, there are 263 cities in Asia with more that 1 million people and there are 330 dollar billionares living there. That makes you understand how important Asia is becoming.

There was a fairly short speach from the SEB bank and then there was a presentation by The Swedish Institure. Sweden had participated in The World Expo in Shanghai in 2010. The expo was from May to October and had 73 million visitors! 95% from China! Quite impressive!

The last speaker was really funny and he taked about the developing world, but in a very engaging way.

After lunch we went for a manicure and then just rested at the hotel. In the evening we all walked a short distance to a Chinese restaurant. The food was great and we had a good time. We had to compete with a group of Malay people who were very loud, so we did our best to keep pace with them. One of us had a birthday, so 150 or so of us sang Happy Birthday in Swedish and later some drinking songs. A good time was had by all.
