Landing in Vladivostok on 18 November, with the flight attendant's comforting words “it’s fine weather outside” when the temperature was -12 degrees Celsius, seemed a blessing after the unexpected experience at Moscow airport due to a ‘technical error’ in my visa. The 8 days I spent in Vladivostok, Russia, along with the 27 delegates from 14 countries, at the International Youth Tiger Summit organized by the Russian Government, in association with the United Nations and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, were truly special.

Hi everyone,
Here goes day 2!

We began the day with the gala opening ceremony at the Vladivostok State University of Economy and Service. This was attended by the Governor of Primorsky Province (in which Vladivostok is) S. M. Dar'kin; the Consul General of India in Vladivostok; the Consul General of Vietnam in Vladivostok; Igor Chestin, WWF - Russia's CEO, and all of us, the delegates from the different tiger nations. It was covered extensively by the Russian media- both the print and television.
