Yesterday the bulk of the Evangelical conference arrived, as well as a few people (11) attending a different conference in Canberra on wildlife management. My office-mate, Monica, is going to the wildlife conference so she may know some of the people who will be living at Johns the next few days. What a strange combination- Christians and wildlife management academics...
The guests are pretty nice and luckily the Evangelicals have a conference coordinator who has so far been taking care of all their check-ins and room lock-outs. Meals are a bit disturbing, however, since it is CRAZY with everyone queuing out the door and down the hall 10min before the meals. Breakfast was supposed to be 7-9am this morning but stupidly I went for a run and didn't get there until 8:30. When I went inside all the food was gone and I thought they already closed up. I asked Maria, the Greek kitchen lady, and she said "everyone came at 7am and now there is no food left." I guess they are used to feeding just a few people breakfast, considering during the year most Johns ressies are too drunk to make it to breakfast in the mornings.
