Day 5 - Shopping around




We took 'Jim' to one of the shopping centres in Stavanger and placed him in an area close to soft chairs and coffee tables, near to a fast food chain. Within two minutes we were approached by security and asked to move on. So we went outside the shopping centre and placed the generator centrally outside the tourist office next to the market traders. We had lots of donations of energy - the best of which was a man who happened to be on his way to SATS gym. He happily donated a few minutes of energy and then said he would come back in 15mins. Sure enough he came back - already changed into his tracksuit, and proceeded to do a 40min bike workout in the fresh air. When I asked him afterwards what had motivated him to give so much time and energy, he simply said that the effort he made would have otherwise been wasted.
