    That evening I got to socialise at the buffet with large numbers of animal experimenters! I was pleased to learn that my talk the next day about why animal experiments are generally of little use and unethical generated great interest.
    Fascinating though the conference was (!) I nevertheless couldn't bring myself to sit through all of it, and stole away on Day 2 to revisit the Grand Bazaar, which was now open. It was a seemingly endless indoor market, which I thought was over-rated.
    It was, however, very exciting to see the Turkish delight on sale everywhere :) Some was even vegan!
