There are no designated charging places, only very few widely scattered and almost hidden power outlets serving the vending machines and kiosks, some of which were usable. One solar-powered bench with USB outlets just outside the hall, most of the ports were broken (as public USB ports often are since they are not designed for that usage)” (September 2019)
