Off The Wall

Well it's been a couple days since I've updated the blog (probably a good thing) but now there's a bit of catching up to do, I'm hoping to keep it short and sweet as I have a meeting in a little bit.

On Monday I Farrukh, a Lahori that went to Cornell and was involved with AIESEC there. His driver came and picked me up in the evening and took me over to his house. His house was amazing, like many houses here, so much thought is put into their design. We went out to dinner with a group of his friends, we went to this place called Tiramisu which had the most amazing dessert ever! Like baked camembert, when you cut into it, the insides come flowing out which is a perfect mix with the surrounding ice cream. We went out for sheesha afterwards, good times, met lots of really interesting people.

Tuesday night, we had the local AIESEC meeting where the big thing was welcoming back Asima. She has just returned from a years internship in non other than San Jose! She did a big picture slide show of all her experiences there and told so many stories of all the things she'd done. It made me slightly homesick and really made me miss loads of people. There were so many pictures of some really close friends; Patricia, Anh, Alex… there was even a photo of me (from the night of my sisters wedding back in August when they were having a bonfire on 'my' beach). Wow I miss those guys. Though I'm so proud of AIESEC Bay Area and how they continue to make trainees and new members feel so welcome!!!

On another note…something for the near future… I'm going to Dubai! Yes ladies and gentlemen I'm going to go visit Kenny a friend from Denmark for like four days. I'll be spending my birthday in Dubai and fully enjoying the many many things that Dubai has to offer. Kenny will have to deal with me for an extending weekend…what a lucky guy!
