Coordinator's comments:
How was the conference day to you, Roberto? Hopefully presentations from our fellow trainees as well as experts from various institutions gave you insights on GHG inventory system of countries which could serve as a great reference to Costa Rica. 
I did not have a chance to eat together with fellow trainees during the 3-week programme, and this day was, if I am correct, the first time I had lunch at the same table with you and Aldo. I had lots of fun asking questions about how Spanish is spoken differently in Latin American countries and your days in Seoul. I can say for sure that such enjoyable time with you and Aldo will be remembered for a very long time :)
