Happy to Chat connecting

I had brilliant chat with Engineering students from India and a law student from Bangladesh... we were brainstorming ideas to modify infrastructures for climate extreme weathers we are facing ... it actually was like a greenhouse under the glass roof of the Pavillions shopping centre ... there were free bottles of water and voucher exchange for tea or coffee and donut from the nearby sandwich shop Wenzels ..
