IDS Congress- Day 1

The exhibition's hall was huge. A lot bigger than expected.
When arriving, one could feel the magnitude of what we where getting into by just looking at the reception area. Over twenty counters (that seemed like an airport) where receiving people to sell the entrance tickets. There where two kinds of tickets, by day and by *season* (which are 4 days tickets). The season ones where 22euros each (about $35.00). I have no idea about the price of the dayly ones.

After getting the tickets, we would pass an electronic gate keeper, where a laser scanner would read the ticket code and unlock the gate bar. Right after that, a team will supply us with a protective sleeve for the ticket, and an around the neck trap band to hang it.

The whole process is streamlined *the German way* [mostly with German girls].
