Conference After-thoughts

A room-full of inspiring people from every end of the world brings on an incredible high.

The only way to make the most of an Intl conference as a US delegate is to enjoy the people and ignore the politics.

When a person's native tongue isn't English, participating in a conference means listening to English coming from nearly twenty different accents, translating it to their own language, reflecting and forming opinions, and translating those opinions back to English. Tough stuff.

One incredible speaker can shake up an entire room's perspective.

A note scribbled away on a dinner napkin at 5 in the AM is better than any sugar cube or business card.

AIESECing is the one thing that can completely block out situations cluttering life at the moment.

When a plenary activity involves the chucking of uncooked eggs, keep the purse away!

Kareoke's not complete without over-enthusiastic backup dancers.

A conference may be described as life-changing by some. The best way I can sum it up is mind-jolting.

The fireman's dance is as brilliant internationally as it is in the Madtown.

Jumping high to Numa Numa is contagious. Once a person Starts, they infect the entire delegation.

Tanuk tanuk has countless line dance versions, all which are stubbornly performed simultaneously.

When a certain faci hints that an object for the scavanger hunt is hidden in the pool, he lies.

My realm of sight in the AIESEC world for my not-so-distant future has drastically expanded.

Friendships formed at this conference will stay strong across oceans and borders.

That was one hell of a ride. Now it's back to reality...
