The Danish prime minster called for a snappy election on November 13th just two weeks away. Well luckily I’m in Denmark so I went to the city hall to figure out how I could fulfil my democratic duty. Turns out I had to cast the vote right there and then to get it in. So I didn’t get the whole 20 days of campaigning – my vote is on a ballot ready to be counted.
I’m back in Denmark for a while. Spent two days hitchhiking the 900 km from Prague, Czech Republic to århus in Denmark. It’s going to be a couple of days hanging out with friends and family back here in the Mothercountry. It was a fun trip home and it’s really nice to be back 🙂 I’ll write more when I got more time. A video should also be coming up.
Update the video is here:

Three weeks ago Femi and I went to Munich for Oktoberfest. Boy was that a fun weekend – Stefan, who we met in Ostrava, hosted us and showed us around the city of Munich and Theresienwiesen were oktoberfest takes place.
Yesterday the local committees of IAESTE in Prague organized the annual IAESTE Day to promote the IAESTE programs at different universities across the world. I was happy they asked me if I wanted to give a presentation about how I had benefited from IAESTE. So I told the story of How I Ended Up In Prague Because of IAESTE (Some of it is on page three of this IAESTE UK alumni newsletter). It s been a while since I had done a presentation but I really enjoyed the afternoon talking with people about going abroad.
Even better was the evening were they had organized a banquette for business contacts, alumis and member. Good and free food and drinks is a great thing that I come across way to seldom.
These past seven days my parents have been in Prague and it s been great seeing them again and showing off this great city. Prague has gone in autumn mode but the weather was with us and most of the days, the sun was out making the city beautiful.
My parents were in Prague 34 years ago on sort of a honeymoon in the dark days of communism, coal burning, side street money exchange and disrepair. What met them today was a very different sight. They were very thrilled about what the city had become. Almost all of the central city has been repaired and today it s an amazing trip to walk through the city both at day and at night.
They asked me if I never get tired of living out of a suitcase and that got me thinking. First off Prague is my home now, so I don t consider it living in a suitcase. It didn t take long before I felt very comfortable here. I also realized that I don t need that much to be comfortable. As long as I have a place I can call mine with a bed and another place to sit with my computer I can manage.
We are sticking around in Prague for another 8 months and then it s time to move again. Where to is still up in the air
Joanna one of the AIESEC girls from Ann Arbor was in Prague for autumn break as well so we went out and had lunch with her. Great catching up on old days.
