Meeting new people

This weekend there have been so many people in Rotterdam apart from both AI teams… Steering team (discussing the new Information System), GN boards and most probably much more. So it was great opportunity to meet new people, as well as to get completely lost. Both happened:-)

After the dinner with Kiko and Abhishek, when we had a chance to talk a bit for the first time, we went at Hofdijk – the dormitory, where the majority of AI members are living (that one resembling our Blanice, as I’ve mentioned previously)
We wanted to play a pool and in order to be four we went to pick up Gee (3rd member of IS team), but he wasn’t in his room. Let’s try neighbor door... door opened and in a dark corridor I saw smaller person with curly hair... having very strong feeling I now her, but couldn’t recollect the situation… “Hi, I’m Cornelia, VP Exchange”:))

Now I felt like at home, IT and Exchange, both areas I have devoted all my time in AIESEC to… now I’m going to play pool with current and newly elected VPISs and VPX, that’s just too much for the first day;-)

Abhi & Cornelia & Kiko

While four of us went to play a pool, most of the others intended to go to Amsterdam overnight. But plans have changed and tens of people randomly turned up in the pool house. I didn’t remember many names that night and I rather didn’t ask for positions, as it would have been even more crazy… current corporate relations manager, newly elected Spanish speaking countries GN director, current director for strategy, new CEE external relations manager… OK, it’ll come later. Unfortunately, batteries in my camera went off so I don't have any pictures.

1 beer = 1 small beer
I definitely enjoyed the first evening very much!! But still this “review of the night” wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t share with you my disappointment regarding local beer… ordering beer, being given 0,3l and paying 2€ that’s nothing worth experiencing for the thirsty Czech guy! You can trust me on this!
