Unreasonable at Sea day 61: Jaaga, Start up Festival, UB City
Here is a video that Matt and Oli made of Protei in Vietnam
And here is Bangalore’s famous SP ROAD ELECTRONICS MARKET:. This is a great post from Ron, who I met at Jaaga about the cool spots to get electronics in Bangalore, and here is a follow up post with some more info.

In the morning, first thing, I went to Jaaga while the rest of the Unreasonable team went to a panel with about 200 Entrepreneurs in the audience, with Daniel, Catlin, Abbie, Ken.
Jaaga is a shared workspace / incubator / artist creative hack space, founded by Archana and Freeman, and it is made out of one of Freeman’s modular ikea-like structures. It is super cool to hang out, work, meet people, and drink a coffee or lime soda.
I met Anders Sandell, who graduated in 2002 from ITP, and has since moved to Bangalore, runs Tank and Bear, a creative design company in Bangalore, and he just released to the app store JORGITS.
“The Jörgit’s home planet, Jöerg, is becoming too cold for them. Fortunately, they’ve discovered a planet nearby which is rapidly heating up. They plan a mission to Earth and set out for the balmy Hawaiian Islands. During the expedition there is a mishap and they crash into the sea outside of Helsinki in themiddle of winter.”
This is the trailer for our upcoming children’s app: Jörgits and the End of Winter.

And here are some of the Jorgits characters:
Then I went to meet the rest of Unreasonable at the Start up Festival, Bangalore:
The Unreasonable presentations were received well, and Protei was an exciting topic for many gamers, software developers, and engineers.
Later that evening we went to UB City for drinks and dinner.
