The Munich airport had an ice rink, so during our two hour layover we rented skates, and took really great pictures skating! We felt so CANADIAN! Then becuase of too much ice skating we had to run to our flight again, this would be our third cardio workout before 1 PM! We arrived two hours later in Copenhagen, made our way over to the Central Station, and to our hotel, an adventure in it's own right.
After a while lying down, and resting, we went out to walk around and eat. We walked what I am going to refer to as downtown Copenhagen, which was fun and nice and then walked (by walked I mean very slowly with our feet dragging along the ground because we are exhausted!) over to the first restaurant we saw, ate, then slept.
The next day, promptly at 7 AM we awoke, and made our way to the University of Copenhagen where our COY5 (Conference of Youth), meeting was. 1000 Youth from different places met, and seeing a room that alrge standing, doing a slow clap - a thunderous applause and yell was magnificent.
We attended workshops in the morning, I went to Learning How To Create Good Meetings, and afterwards to a discussion on Cap and Trade, focused on CDMs, the second meeting was very informational, and afterwards I met some VIPs. Then an Open Space session with 15 people from around the world. We talked about our specific country, their commitments, our goals for COP15, our Roles at COP15, and other projects we had. It was very informational and a great starting point. Right now, it's 5:05 and we are heading out for an early dinner, then nap, then more learning, planning/clubbing. I'll talk to you later
Goodbye,
Zack Bernholtz
