There's no greater power than a community discovering what it cares about. Be intrigued by the differences you hear. Expect to be surprised. Treasure curiosity more than certainty. Remember you don't fear people who's story you know. Real listening always brings people closer together. Trust that meaningful conversations change your world.

German Dutchie has arrived...

So this is my first post being in Bonn, Germany. An historical moment... after all the sterotypes and football clashes, and jokes back and forth, a Dutch @er has joined the German MC :)
Last night I arrived in Bonn by train, 1.5 hour delayed. So far for German punktlichkeit LOL, well, the train was quite confortable and I was travelling in nice company (German and Canadian guy, and a Mexican couple), so it definately made up for the delay :)

When I arrived, all my team members were waiting for me :) that was sooooo cool. I actually didn't see them at first, so I already walked out of the station, but luckily they chased me and then I saw them running down the tunnel, with a big AIESEC banner! So cool.
We went for dinner in a restaurant to get to know the whole team better, and afterwards we went to the office to learn the MC roll call and off course champange to celebrate to completion of the team!!!

And now, I am in the office having had a short introduction into AIESEC Germany! And tomorrow... my first regional conference in Bielefeld :) I can't wait!!!!

Oh and for all Dutch people who wonder now what will happen with the upcoming World Cup, off course The Netherlands will win the cup by beating the German team in the final lol ;) haha. And might they not make it that far for some reason, I now can always cheer for Germany as well, alwasy good to have options :)
