Before going to IC

550 delegates

200 and more Business Leaders all around the world

95 Cultures represented

64 Congress Committee Members

10 entire days of exciting and challenging sessions

This is one conference I always wanted to go. I heard of it for the first time from Anca who was CC in Calgary, Canada in 2002 than Victor went to Serbia in 2003, 2004 was in Germany, last year in India and now Poland, finally I am going! I'll be there in 3 DAYS!

I am glad and feel privileged I am going there, I think is one of the most amazing things in this world a young person of my age can go to. I have a very good feeling about it, especially about the "Solidarity for the future" theme for the conference.

I'm thinking to post messages during the conference, I'll see if I have time.


Have the best day ever, every day!

Update today!

There have been already 15 days since I last posted.

Since then some things have changed and happened:
- We finalised transition so now I am really in CHARGE
- transition party was great and I was accused of making the cocktails too strong, some important people got drunk ;)
- I have started working on some strategy and I find the first challenge of changing the mindset from a local one to a national one ;) That's exactly what I wanted
- I finally have a room for myself with bed, cupboards and chair :)
- started doing sports: jogging and went for a 25 km biking trip
- In Belgium the weather is finally normal meaning it rains a lot and temperature is usually under 25
- visited Bokrijk Museum about old Belgium life














- bought wooden shoes, size 29 ;) = 43









- went to Standard Liege- Steaua Bucharest footbal match on Wednesday. 2-2 but I am sure Steaua will go through to the Champions League after 10 years :D



- new Romanian trainees arrived: Irina and Bogdan. I was counting the Romanians I met so far that have a connection with AIESEC: 10 + random ones :)

- last bu not least, got my first almost 1000 euro salary. You know what they say: first milion is hard to make :D

Until next post, all the best!
