Working breakfast

Here in the bloggers’ hangar we get paper cups with coffee and cold bacon sandwiches. The world leaders get fruit salad in glass bowls and tea from the pot as they munch their way through a working breakfast. Their tiny room is surrounded on two side by simultaneous translation booths chattering away in mandarin, Korean, Turkish, Portugese, Italian, German as well as Russian and other languages.

Small groups of officials hang around outside the main entrance but essentially they’re on their own. A similar meeting is going on with Finance Ministers.

Half an hour ago, I thought the anarchists had broken into the complex such was the rumpus. It was just a scrum of photographers grappling each other for a good position in the room where there will be a picture of the leaders. This should be happening about now. If I can get a picture, I’ll post it later.
