First 2 weeks in Belgium
Tonight I flew back from Brussels to Prague after 2 weeks of training in Belgium.
Of course I would like to share the main events of these 2 weeks with you.
On Wednesday I went to Brussels to the birthday party of Ola from Poland. Before the party I passed by my old apartment to se how the new MC team was doing. I found the new inhabitants busy with different housekeeping tasks.
Ola's surprise party was taking place in a Moroccan restaurant called Kasbah. This was a great place to catch up with friends and to enjoy food which is hard to get in Prague. I tried the traditional Moroccan lamb tagine.
Every Thursday, within the Global Headquarters of InBev there is a free bar where you can sample the InBev products. Of course this is a popular event for InBev interns. As you can see we were grabbing opportunities like true AIESECers.
Afterwards we went for a nice dinner in Leuven. Because we were already in the mood anyway, we decided to continue the evening in Brussels.
In Brussels I visited the weekly AIESEC in Belgium Intern drink in Mezzo. It was good to see that the new MC is continuing this tradition in style.
The next morning it was a bit more difficult to wake up than usual, but I still managed to arrive in time for work in Leuven.
I spent the weekend at home with my family.
Then I moved to Charleroi for my next week of training. Unfortunately this city is not so entertaining, but I still managed to take some pictures to give you an impression. I spent most of the week eating different types of fast food. A cool thing about Charleroi are that there are statues of comic book figures everywhere.
By Thursday evening I had enjoyed Charleroi enough. (Read: I was bored to death.) That's why I decided to go to Brussels and enjoy beers in Mezzo. Before that I had dinner with Pedro and Makis in a small Greek restaurant in the famous 'Pitta street'.
In the drink there were no MC members, as they were all preparing for the national conference, but many AIESEC EHSAL members showed up as they were in the first week of their academic calendar.
Now I am back in Czech Republic to enjoy the September National Conference. A report of the conference will be available asap.
