Life is a Mosaic

Update+future plans: Rotterdam, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam?

This is an update about what I was up to recently. It has been exciting during past two weeks and more excitement to come.

12.07.2006: My Birthday. Thank you all again for remembering this special day for me. I will try not to forget any of yours, so expect BirthdayAlarm requests coming soon :)

14-16.07.2006: AI transition weekend in Rotterdam. What can I say - was great! It was a big catch-up event with my best friends in MCs all over, meeting new people, having some super great conversations. Also, the roof-party on Friday night, with never-ending keg of Czech beer and trying to race it, BBQ at the lake and football championship, traditional apple pie in Dudok, Saturday night in very artsy place in R'dam, again amazing talks with people, some gossip, a bit of a house party, stories from incredible life if Oxana, Poffertjes in the morning and good sleep after getting back home. Just very very nice.

21-23.07.2006: Weekend in Paris! Cheap offers of Thalys trains kick ass. I was not totally anxious about going to Paris for the third time, but after this weekend my opinion is completely different - I started liking this city!! I think it feels more homy for me now, first, coz I understand way more of French than I did the previous times. Second, we got to hang out with the coolest bunch of people living there - Subash (trainee from India, our lovely host), François from France (MCP France, our guide and entertainer for the weekend!), Karim (My ER colleague in French MC), Pedro (MC teammate), Mitja (Slovenian 'freshly baked' intern in Brussels), Audrey (MC France), Maria (trainee from Russia) and a few more. Third, we went night-sightseeing this time, an I just had to go to Buddha Bar, teh one which is famous for it's compilations as well. Very posh bar, but very impressive as well. We went for one-drink strategy, ordering an expensive cocktail and sipping it all evening. My next time in Paris for sure I'm going to try Hotel Costes. Strongly recommended for everyone into lounge music.

I would also like to include my upcoming activities which might be important for different people reading this blog:

24.07.2006-28.07.2006: Last week of MC transition. that means filling all the holes, packing stuff, hectic times, you know. I will be hibernated for the rest of the world.

28.07.2006: MC transition Party!!!! I heard a rummour that not everyone knows it still, also I heard that there will be aiesec'ers from other countries coming,a nd in general, it's going to be an awesome party! You just have to be there to see MC teams 05-07!

03.08.2006: My last Intern Drink in Mezzo, Brussels. For the ones who will nto make it to the transition aprty, for the ones who want to see me again before I leave and for anyone else who feels like dropping by :)
