Last night I visited a hotel designed by Phillipe Starck. Enclave of manicured well off. This morning I jet-lagged walk at 530 am and saw numerous long-term homeless on street near hotel.
Human rights walk in the morning took us to concentration camps from 70 and 80′s government. Back for lunch and Chairman of BMW talked on commitment of BMW to pro-social products in every continent.
