01 February In Davos for the World Economic Forum, V I thought I was done writing about the World Economic Forum, but as I walked away from the conference center yesterday, I was met by a group of angry demonstrators who were throwing shoes and snowballs towards the conference center protesting the World Economic Forum. The police were ready for them keeping them behind fences and not letting them get too close to the conference center. They were shouting in a language I didn't understand, so I can only imagine what they were protesting. Perhaps they were protesting the conference's exclusivity, perhaps the gathering of many powerful and rich people, and perhaps the injustice and unfairness of life all over the world. Whatever the cause the gave me another perspective on Davos and WEF. I can't close my last blog post about Davos without speaking for a moment on the awe inspiring beauty of the Swiss Alps. The snow covered vast mountains, the evergreen Cedar trees, and the shinning blue skies are some of the most beautiful that nature has to offer. Standing on top of the mountains you can see the skiers slide down the snowy hills, like colorful specks trying to make their tracks on the snow. When you visit Davos, you see nature at its most beautiful and it makes you want to fight at any cost to keep this beautiful world of ours, so that the future generations can enjoy it too.
