EuExpro
update: made error in company mention. it was LoginSystems, not InfosysAnother great weekend! Kire and I went to Struga this weekend to participate in the EuExpro conference for their potential SNs. We facilitated sessions for AIESEC University, and for the rest of the time, we listened to CEOs and Ambassadors speak about the EU and Macedonia’s path towards it. It was very educational and very relaxing. To be in a conference in my own country and not be conference manager! Hehe, very interesting experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The conference was held in Hotel Biser, the same site that Expros was held last year. Wonderful hotel at the edge of Lake Ohrid. Needless to say, we had a great time on the balcony basking in the sun when we weren’t in sessions. So much fun that we have come back to Skopje nice and red (ouch! Silly sun burns).
Fouere, the Ambassador for Macedonia in the EU, was speaking in the conference, and this is the second time that I have seen him speak. I always enjoy hearing him speak and listening to his viewpoint of the politics of the country as well as his international viewpoint of the Macedonians. I can definitely connect with the words he says as I am experiencing quite a bit of it here. And he has such an open policy to reaching out into the Macedonian public. He arrived without body guards, without red tape, without a heavy agenda. He arrived simply to speak to AIESEC. During the day, apart from his session, he had a tour of the area around the hotel. At night, he watched as we partied and spoke to the other externals who also stayed to see the young’ns party. Interesting seeing the externals grouped together (ambassador, representatives from government ministries and director of LoginSystems), sipping on their beer and watching the AIESEC dances on the dance floor.
Kara also facilitated a session, her first faci experience in a conference. Congratulations!! We had loads of fun on the drive there and back with Kara and Bib. Those two are simply too crazy. And there are loads of pictures, and I believe videos, to prove this.
So, back to Skopje, where it is just as hot. This Canadian Filipina just doesn’t do heat. And with the temperature increasing everyday, I foresee myself dying of heat. Need to buy more summer wear. Skirts galore!
