February 10th was the prime example of how things can get turned around in a matter of hours.
On the night of the opening ceremony, Ben, Paul and I tried to sneak in the stadium but failed. The worse thing was that I dropped my glasses on a bus… never returned. That being said I have to miss the USA House next morning to get prescriptioned glasses. This seemingly negative incident took a drastic turn in the next 12 hours.
In the next 12 hours, I ran into Ma Yun (Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba), B2B (kpop group), and the Prime Minister of Japan Anbe. I would have never dreamed of seeing these big shots live, but it indeed happened today, and my social media blew up with comments and impressions. Along the way I traded for 10 new pins and met about a half-dozen pro pin traders. Craziest day in my life I would say so far.
