LC Innsbruck, Austria

Day 7 party

well, i just found another PC that still works. let's see how far I come with my updates.

What a shame, I almost forgot to tell you about the party on the evening of August, 27th. Well, as all the AIESEC world knows, WENA (Growth Network for Western Europe North America) is number one. Therefore: the party was …. Hm… looking for words… amazing.

It was organized like a global village with all the WENA countries having a small stand where they presented typical national drinks and food. We came along with Austria’s specialty: burning Mozart. If you wanna try it at home: take a Mozartkugel, split it in the middle. Take Stroh 80 rum. Put the Mozartkugel on a tooth stick or a fork and hold it into the rum for a second. Take it out, inflame it (yep, you heard right) and then eat it. :-) You might need to be brave for the first them. There’s a secret about how to eat them. You just need to put them into your mouth (even though there are flames) and SHUT YOUR MOUTH fast. Otherwise you’ll burn it. :-)

I guess you can imagine that our stand was crowded. After helping some people to have another amazing AIESEC experience, I just left to have a closer look at the other stands as well. I got first attracted by the French stand, who hosted a French kissing competition. As I’ve lived in France for the last year I felt kind of an expert and of course needed to demonstrate to the others how to do that J

Then I got hooked at the German stand. They had some Brause powder and Klopfers. I liked the combination of the sweet stuff that didn’t seem to have any negative effects. Indeed those negative effects were then showing up about 1,5 hours later and forced me to crawl back to bed at quarter past 3 J


Day 8 (2007-08-28)

It was hard to get up in the morning after, even though we had a “sleep in” phase. This means that the morning plenary was moved half an hour backwards in the agenda to give us half an hour more of sleep. AIESEC International definitely knows that WENA parties are the best J

Well, so let’s talk about that day. I was at the breakfast, I was at the morning plenary. Not bad, hm? I was well went to the introduction of the GN (Growth Networks) but as the following session was not that interesting to me, I was glad to leave during a short break and go back to bed for another hour just until lunch.

The partner workshop I did in the afternoon (1 with Electrolux on Negotiation and 1 with Ingersoll Rand on Branding) were good, were interesting. Unfortunately they just lasted 1,5 hours each, therefore it’s clear that not too much content was delivered.

During the whole day, I had some really good conversations and exchange of thoughts with the other Austrian LCPs, as well as with Vlad in the evening who really inspired me. Thanks again, man.
