Participants in today’s day-long ADHO executive committee meeting had to put in an unexpected extra hour of hard work by paddling the local organizers across the Alster lake and then through 25 kms of canals in 3 dragonboats. (They should have known better though: one of Hamburg’s partner cities is Shanghai.) Luckily none of the boats capsized – so for now we can still expect the rest of the DH2012 program to go ahead as planned. Here are some first impressions: Dragonboating on the Alster – we didn’t capsize!
