Muntenia Pitesti

Yesterday was Global Village and it was very impressive. The kids in summer school along with the people in AIESEC Pitesti worked really hard to represent their country. Global Village is an event where there are different tables that have information of a country and people are standing there to tell you something interesting or show you someth...

I prepared for the last training for AIESEC Pitesti Summer School and it was bittersweet...=(
I felt really happy that I don't have to think of all the icebreakers for each day and prepare the outlines for each training, but it was all for the kids. Well, I say kids, but they are really just a few years younger than I am. Anyway, it was about...

At the swimming pool there are three big pools. This is where people go to swim. Of course. They don't have pools in their backyard like in America. The locations of this place is in between a mall and the near the center of the city. (Kind of. I don't really know where I am walking. I just follow my roommates.) Anyway, on one side you can see a...

I went to Brasov for the weekend and now it is back to the kids. They are just great to work with. I look forward to going back and seeing them. I was supposed to have a day off on Monday, but my roommate, Olya, caught a cold and has a sore throat. I was asked if I can take the session on the subject of Conflict Management.

Conflict Mana...

Yes, Dracula is a bug. I didn't meet him personally, but he gave me a bite mark on my face to say hi. I have two bite marks right on my eyelid. I felt like my eyesight on my left eye was slowing fading away because the more I itched my Dracula bites, the bigger it swelled up. Of course, I know not to scratch it, but I couldn't help it.

I...

It feels good to work with teenagers. They are very fun and energetic. I did another 2 sessions today and for the past two days, every morning I would feel like I want to throw up. My stomach is upside down and I don't want to go to the sessions because I’m so nervous. Then, once I go in the class and I am approached by these cute and swee...

The two sessions that I have to plan for the Summer School Project is very interesting. It's new for me to actually plan the sessions and run it. For the first session, I help the students get to know each other by making up some games and icebreakers. Then we will play a game to identify some of their strong and weak points using balloons. Then...

After I got in trouble yesterday by the night security guard, those 4 guys were walking up to the dorm rooms with me and I really didn't want to let them see what room I am in. They asked me if I wanted to join them for coffee and I told them I was sleepy. I tried to stall until they go to their own rooms, but I just said bye and ran to my room....

There was nothing too interesting today. Just a few encounters with some locals who seemed very interested in me. Not romantically interested, just "Oh there is a foreign Asian girl!" interested. In the dorms I'm staying in, I have to go downstairs into a room to connect to the internet. There is internet connection but not enough plugs, so they...

First Day in Romania

Walked around Pitesti and saw the city a bit.

I woke up at 12 and Andra from AIESEC said that she would bring me to see the city and eat lunch. She is this cute and petite Romanian girl and she is very pretty. All her face features are small and so cute. She seems really shy and quiet but very nice.

We ...
