100% Design - Day 4.

The last day. Finally. I mean this is definitely a super fun event and becoming friends with the fellow interpreters also made things a million times easier, but at the end of the day it's still a job. And today it actually felt like that. Especially in the morning I had a serious disaffection towards getting up. Fortunately though, the last day of the exhibition is the shortest, too. Only six hours, pff. Not a problem. And once I was there it was alright, it was just the getting started that took me a while today. 

For lunch I tagged along with Jinyoung, Wontae, Seongkyun and Imhyuni and had some sort of Japanese chicken ramen at Wagamama. It was alright, but I think I was more fond of the doughnut that I had for dessert. The last few hours of the fair were kind of crazy. People are walking around, hoping to catch a bargain on all the displayed items they liked. I guess it makes sense. Most exhibitors are happy if they don't have to carry all the stuff back home, and of course it's always good for promotion.

Many different things have taken place in that exhibition hall and I'm super glad that I was part of a design show. There's so much to learn at venues like these, most of all how to deal with people. It was not only translating words from one language into another, it was much more than that and I think that's exactly what made this thing so interesting. The best part though is, that I left the exhibition hall today with so much more than I had when I first came. I've met so many people, even made a couple of new friends.
