LC Geneva

Can you believe we were around 50 people?
Big LC...cool people... :)


Official Dinner on Saturday with the Geneva -interns
Anthony (Ireland), Emilia (Spain), Me (Hungary) ;), Ikran (Sweden), Zuzana (Czechia) & Ahmed (Egypt)


With Emilia posing for Anthony... ;)


With our well prepared masks...Emilia, Ikran, Zuzana & me

No, seriously, we spent like 2 days to make our masks... :)
Mine is pretty simple...and maybe masculine a little bit...


The whole weekend... it was snowing!!! :)))

So, we played snowfighting:


Me, the poor, naive girl went to help my friend...


And my "friend" was tricky a little bit:


But seriously, the snow was great:




Good night, swiss dreams... ;)

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... ;)

Just in a rush...

Tomorrow after work I am leaving to a conference...to an aiesec conference, to DO-IT.

(FYI: This post contains strange abbreviations for those who are not familiar with AIESEC...)

Strange feeling.
I don't know why I am fighting against @ all the time. Aiesec had/has an important role in my life.
And still...inside me..it is a fight...
I know that it is a huge motivation, and everybody is going there to really feel, Yes, this is why I am working like hell every day...this is why I sacrificed sth...
(ok, can you see....maybe my point of view is wrong...completely... it is not about sacrifice sth... It's up to you!

And this motivation part should be shown to the newies...

BUT.... It 's me... who is always making things more and more complicated...

Anyways, now I don't want to go in deeper...maybe it is better if I don't think...just let it go...and we will see....

I have a mask for the party...But I so miss you, Sütty and your creativity.... :DDD

Seriously!!! :)

so, see you guys on monday... or sunday evening..hiopefully full of energy and hopes and plans and motivation... that is usually what the conferences used to give me... and of course i meet always cool people!!!

Kick-off 2007, Fiesch

Ok, that's true...I should write in English...as I am very very lasy, and I get bored easily just writing here... (:)) that's wh I can not promise, that I will always write her in Hungarian as well...
Anyway, so this weekend I went to the Kick-off...which is an aiesec conference. It took place in Fiesch :)
It is a beautiful small village, not even mentioned in my BOOK about Switzerland :)
(this is a perfect book...)

On Friday I was totally freaked out, ok, I don't have money, I don't have my workpermit, I wanted to rent a new flat, but before we could signe the contract, the owner called, that the flat is not available, and the biggest problem was that I didn't have anything for the parties... (The other me, Timemachine...)
Yes, that was the biggest problem :)

With the other trainees from Geneva left around 18... It is really cool, that u can buy a card, which means that u can buy every ticket half price... and if u are under 25, there is an other card, whith this u can travel for FREE after 7... :)
Ok, for the first time, when u have to buy these cards.. it is really expensive, but it worth...actually, after the 2nd travel, u can get back ur money :)

The traintrip was amazing!!!!
If I looked out on the right saw the Lac Léman (Genevean lake), on the left the mountaines... with snow!!!!
áááááááááááááá

Amazing, beatuiful, gorgeous...(well I have to improve my vocabulary...)

Of course as a cool intern, we already started drinking in the train :)))

We had to change in Brig, that was funny... It is a small village, and according to the internet, we had to walk 7 minutes to get from the trainstation to the busstation.... well, yes...it took 7 minutes, if u go to the Hauptstrasse, than turn back and on the other side go back... :)
But the main square is also beautiful :)

From Brig to Fiesch we went by bus...well... busses and me... khm...
in the mountaines...fortunatly it just took half an hour...I am not sure whether I could have handled more time... :)))

So, it was a normal camp, with nice rooms, around 20 other people in the same room, common showers, nothing special :)

But the environment!!!!






This conference was great! All the tracks were here, different agenda for noewies, teames, leeders, goldies, and for interns...
For example, we had "Networking and Challenging my worldview" session...

Yes, now I can imagine your faces...of course my was the same as well...
ok, again this session..perfect.. challenging my worldview... nooooo wayy.... i will skip it... bullshit, fluffy stuff...just talking...
And nooo
Imagine, this means..."Exploring Fiesch" :)))))

That wasw the best, with the goldies we went to the village, and got to know each other... :)))
And we just enjoyed the sun, the mountains, the perfect blue sky, and the cloudes...

Actually, we figured out a new method for the "introduction.."
You can imagine, you meet somebody for the first time.. and start, "Hi, I am Szilvia from Hungary...
No, not form Budapest...
No, not from the Lake Balaton...
I am an intern in LC Geneva, I will work at HP, Hewlett-Packard as a Sales
Compensation Analyst,
ok, not now, I am waiting for my workpermit...
yes, me neither, I do not understand, of course Hungary is EU-member country...
I was in Aiesec in Hungary , I did... And u?"

That speech happened always, like for 100 times...
no no way...
so, we were joking, ok, why not just put a paper on us, and than go to a totally stranger, and ask him: "Do u like reading, books, travelling, politics? anything, just not always the same..."

Here are some picture about Fiesch...

So, just to cut it short, it was great!!! :)))
And I think, I am getting being involved in aiesec... that's true.. enjoying participation is the most important thing, if u don't enjoy what u are doing than it is useless...

But here... it is different, than at home...

Oh, and the best... LC Geneva won the "ROLE MODEL LC" award!!!!

Yes, I was not informed, that there will be an Offical Dinner as well... :S
So, I was almost the only one, who wore jeans with a Tshirt...everybody in suit, nicem, beautiful skirt, blackclothes....
That could be the feeling for us in Tokio... :D

I meet a lot of amazing people from all around the world... I meet a guy from Nigeria, who is the best friend of our MCVP X Aiesec in Hungary... :))

I meet a trainee for Sweden, who is working together with Jucus... :)))

The world is so small... amazing :)

kisses

Aiesec Genf

Mivel időm legtöbb részét, Tompiékon kívül, az AIESEC-kel töltöm, ezért róluk írnék először.

Ma volt VPF választásuk, pénzügyes elnökhelyettest választottak.
Izgalmas volt.

Úgy néz ki náluk a választás, hogy legeslegelőször van egy Review Board, ami egy bíráló panel tulajdonképpen, 3 jelenlegi EBből áll, meg 2 régebbi EBtagból, és ők javaslatot tesznek, hogy a jelölt alkalmas-e, vagy sem a pozícióra. Természetesen itt is van jellap, angolul. Aztán jön a HB gyűlés, ahol az első jelölt (abc sorrend alapján döntenek) elmondja a beszédét, majd ezt követi egy 5 perces (persze mindig több... :) ) kérdésszekció, majd kimegy a jelölt, felolvassák mit döntött a RB, meg hogyan jellemezték őt, aztán jön a megvitatás része a dolognak. Lehet mellette, ellene, általánosan szólni...
Aztán jön a 2. jelölt, és nála is lemegy ugyanez.
Szóval a kérdésszekció külön-külön van.

És, ami a legfurcsább az egészben, hogy én, mint intern, teljesjogú HB tagnak számítok, csak fizetnem nem kell, teáht szavazhatok!
És szavaztam is! :)

Igaz, először le akartam adni a szavazatomat vkinek (mert itt ilyet is lehet, ha vki nem jön el, átadja vkinek a szavazatát...)
de aztán meggyőztek, hogy végülis egy külsős szem is jól jön...

Érdekes volt, mert ugye 2 jelölt volt, és nagy vita alkult ki, mert az egyik egy newie.. kb. 2 hete van az @-ben... a másik meg egy idősebb, de többek szerint egyáltalán nem megbízható, és a RB nem is javasolta őt... mindegy, szóval nagy vita volt... és több fordulós lett a szavazás.

Szóval, első körbe nem ment át az 50%+1 -es arányú győzelem ,ezért újra szavaztunk...
(csak úgym, semmi kérdések, vagy vita, csak újra szavaztunk.. mit gonodltak a szervezők? hogy majd csak úgy, pikk-pakk vki meggondolja magát??? mindegy.. második kör is eredménytelen lett... így jött a 3. kör... és ez sem hozott eredményt... pedig az eB világosan megmondta, hogy ők a newiet akarják, a másikban nem bíznak, mégsem...

Érdekes volt...

A 3. kör végén megkérdeztem a levezető elnököt, hogy nekem jogom van-e szavazni (miután ugye már 3-szor szavaztam...) Jófej vagyok, mi? :)))

Erre persze mindenkit kivert a víz, összevissza nézegették az SZmSZ-t... (Ismerős, mi? :) ) fordították nekem is angolra... (így ugye tiszta pontatlan lett az egész... de aztán kiderült, hogy szavazhatok.

Azért annyit még megjegyeznék, hogy azért Svájcban is él az aiesec time... szóval, ennyit a pontosságukról! :)

De kedvesek voltak, mert egyből angolra váltottak, mihelyst megérkeztem... :)

Sőt, az egyik srác már OC tagnak is meghívott, úgyhogy... a "lejtőn" nincs megállás... :)

az egész úgy 22-ig tartott (18:30-től...), és mindenki ki volt akadva, hogy ilyen hosszú választás még sose volt... khm.. mit szólnának ezek a régi magyar választásokhoz... :)

Hazafele találkoztam a lakótársaimmal, az egyikük Hubert, német, 26, és jófej, de irtó magas... úgy kell futnom utána, de komolyan, míg ő csak egy lépést tesz... :)
A másik meg Alex, x, és kis alacsony olasz...
ő csak nemrég jött vissza Indonéziából, mert a Fogorvosok Világszövetségének (vagy vmi ilyesminek) szervezett programokat...
jó kis melója van... csak úgy repked jobbra-balra... :)

Bocs, hogy ez is részletes, és hosszú lett...

Első blogbeírásom

Sziasztok!

Wow...igazából meguntam, hogy mindenkinek külön-külön irogassak, ezért úgy döntöttem, hogy nekem is lesz egy blogom... (Angi adta az ötletet...:))

Szóval, még új vagyok ebben atémában, nem tudom, hogy poénos lesz-e, inkább olyan havasos...

Nézzétek a Tomét: www.tokioember.blogspot.com
Én bírom a stílusát...
:)

Április 25-én este érkeztem Genfbe, ahol is egy éves szakmai gyakorlatomat fogom tölteni.

Eddig minden szép, és jó! Az AIESEC tiszta sokat segít, kezdek jobban belelátni az itteni dolgokba, már ismerem a lakótársaimat - ami nem volt könnyű - és kezdem élvezni.

A blogom célja, hogy kapcsolatban maradjak kis barátaimmal otthon, meg persze a családommal, és hogy Svájcról is, a benyomásaimról is írjak...

AIESEC nyomta, hogy angol legyen, úgyhogy shortly majd mindig sum up the things... :)

We will see...

Ennyi elsőre, megnézem, hogy fog kinézni...(jaj, miért vagyok én informatikából béna.. még, jó, hogy a Hewlett-Packardnál fogok dolgozni...)
