I can't believe today is the last day of the conference! 

Just a quick recap of what we've done so far today (it's 10:42 am here in Busan): 
  Breakfast with Vicente Fox (President of Mexico)
  Address by Ricardo Lagos (President of Chile)
  Address by John Howard (Prime Minister of Australia)

Our own Nadia Savova even asked President Fox a question! 

We'll be having a traditional Korean lunch, visiting some traditional markets (including the fish market), and returning for the CEO Summit farewell dinner tonight.  At the dinner there will be a performance by APEC participants for the CEOs as after-dinner entertainment.

Tomorrow we'll get to tour Busan on our own and meet with a US Ambassador to Korea.  Then on Sunday we have our loooooooooong flight home, and we'll be in Greenville in the afternoon.  Even though we've had a week full to the brim with interviews, cultural experiences, and addresses by influential political figures, it's still amazing to think that it's almost all over.

Time for more interviews and lunch now--we'll be seeing you soon.  I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner!
