Partying, helping out and exploring
Let's start this post with some parties. First of all InBev Business Services is now also working with the UK market, so we had a launch party with the new employees who will be working for this market. That was on 19th of April.
On 20th of April, Piros from Hungary, who is one of these new employees had her goodbye dinner as she was leaving for training in the UK. Of course we'll see her every 2 weeks but any excuse is good for a party, right?
On 21st of April there was the birthday party of Blanka from Canada. We went to a restaurant called Austria which was not really Austrian, and we were the only customers there all evening. We had good fun, but time will tell whether this restaurant will survive in the very competitive world of Prague party locations.





For those of you who only spend time inside reading people's blogs, here's some news: Spring has started and it's beautiful. To prove that I am getting out of the house I took a picture of my apartment from the outside.

Last Sunday I was helping out AIESEC CZU Prague with their assesment center. This is the selection for candidates that want to go abroad with AIESEC, just like I am doing. I was running an exercise related to world issues, which was to be completed entirely in english. To prove that all candidates survived the exercise and were still happy afterwards, I took a picture with them.

The last part of this post is about "Prague exploration". I have been here for a while now so it's time to explore the city more in-depth. I know all the touristy spots, so my current approach is to take a random tram till the end of the line and then see what is there.
This already brought me to some wonderful places you can see in the pictures here. Especially Baba was interesting. I discovered that a lot of locals don't know Baba if you tell them directly about it. However when you tell them that Podbaba (literally: Under Baba) is located at the bottom of Baba hill they know where it is. From this hill you can see Prague from a totally different side than when you are on one of the classic panorama places.








Also Modrany and Kamyk were worth a visit. This is the area all the way south along the Vltava river. I saw there that Czechs love to go biking, skating or rollerblading along the river.


My last walk was on the side of Petrin hill where the tourist don't really go. It is called Strahov. Some sights there are the Slavia Praha stadium, some university buildings, a military domain which you can't get into, but which looks very nice, etc.





See you,
Kevin

It seems Prague is indeed a good city for a party!
No worries, your trainees are well taking care off by Adina and me:)
Otherwise, hope everything is well!
