DO-IT, 2007. 11. 7-9.

Aiesec Switzerland had its 2nd national/international conference this year. Do-It is basically for everybody!!!

For aiesecers in Hungary: One of the best place to go to an international conference is to go to a swiss one. It is very very international, professional, well- organized...

Just to see: In LC Geneva only 5 people out of 63 are "only Swiss". Only means 100% swiss. Everybody else is half of something, or mixture... Great to feel/see that.

But we had a kind of interesting conversation...you have to be very careful with the diversity...

For example if a black guy says after the question: Where are you from? that he is from CH, you never never ask: Ok, ok, but where are you seriously form??? Just because he is black...

About the aiesec content:
They had several agenda for several group of people: newie, leaders, TTT, goldie, returnee, intern...

And Dey was there...He was the chair.
Once he was also a chair at a Hungarian conference, Spring Planning, or something...
You know, the guy from NZ MCP, than Africa GN coordinator, and also PAI... So...great, great guy...

Well..actually he was a little bit disappointing...
Somehow he was not that motivating...at least for me... and also for the last morning plenary he couldn't wake up...
COMMEON!! Former PAI!!!

Ok, it happens, great party...but not to the CHAIR...who was a former PAI!!!
Idiot!!!

For interns, the track was not that well organized...I mean I got the point that we are adults, we are coming there for partying, but not just for that.
We want to get to know our LC, and also sth about Switzerland, funny habits to prove that the swiss people are not that boring... :), other interns, stories about work, hints & tips for the newcomer interns, etc.

Ok, we were not bored, because:

IT WAS SNOWING!!!!

The mountains, the trees, the small streets... it was amazing... :)))
Beautiful!!! :)

As I don't have any camera, I have to wait till the others put their photos on Facebook... :)

With Ikran and Emilia we went crazy... :)
It is PICTURETIME!!! :)))

"Follow the river, river, river...

TO GENEVAAA..."
(because basically the river in Fiesch will become once the Lake Geneva...)
So we were all the time singing this 2 lines... :D

And of course we were playing snowfighting... :)

We also had Masked ball party on Saturday after Official Dinner. :)
Everybody in nice clothes... :)))
It was great!!!
Photos later... :)))

So, it was good.

I am again very sorry for missing the Global Village...Maybe next time I will go earlier to the conference...just to represent/present Hungary. :)

On Sunday we played with the other interns some drinking games...without alcohol, but still... :)
For example "Bumm"... but instead of "Bumm", everybody had to say any word which comes to his/her mind...It is a cool game, you can get to know what the others are thinking about...or maybe not, as on Sunday everybody is very tired. :)

And...we also played the "Alphabet" ... it is like counting, but with words...
So, I try to explain. The first person has to say a word starting with A, the next one with B, etc till Z, than starts again... and if somebody says an animal, the order changed..the circle goes to other way around...
It sounds easy...but commeonn!!! :)))

And, the funniest was, we had a native english speaker from the US.... she always said a word that nobody understood!!! :DDDD

Anyways, crazy people!!! :)

And also some very very interesting conversation about cultural differences, love, men-women relationships... seriously, challenging my worldview! :)

And also there was a session about the internships, what is the value added in an aiesec internship... :)

So, it was a wonderful weekend!!!

Not just because the "cute indians" had a bottle of JAGER!!!
:))))


Now I go and chase some photos... ;)
