Theme team dinners

This week was in fact the first complete week of AI0708 and at the same time the only week in August spent in Rotterdam, since they are leaving to Turkey in the middle of the next one. Maybe it was the reason why all team dinners have been extremely delicious and unique, as they have been focused on different cuisines.

First MMM of the new team

Monday: Asia Pacific & Africa
This team dinner, prepared by respective GN boards, was one of the most delicious ones since the beginning of June!

Tuesday: Canadian snack
What made this team dinner special was also the fact that it was server directly in the office:)

Wednesday: Colombia night
Colombia night went beyond the scope of an ordinary team dinner. Apart from fabulous dish comprising of many (I guess 6-8) different types of food, there was also a Colombia presentation delivered by Colombians Ivan, Kiko and Martha and Bee, who lived there for many years. We were talking about the current situation as well as that one 10 or 50 years ago. Getting to know more about its problems, drugs, guerrillas, as well as attitudes, motivation, hope and strong will of local people was something I enjoyed and learned from a lot.

At the very beginning of this discussion we watched a video about Colombia. I really advise you to have a look as well, it is not an usual "about-country" video.
It was also confirmed that it happens relatively often that students don't want to return home from their traineeship in Colombia, so bear it in mind when considering this destination:)

Thursday: Middle East & North Africa
Delicious Arabic specialities!


Yesterday in the late evening, Gwen returned from her 5-day holidays in Spain and today in the afternoon she left home to Colorado. I went with her to the airport so as to help with luggage and say a proper bye-bye:) I'm sure we meet again, maybe quite soon...
