3 weeks have passed…have been busy at work learning new things, having successful sales meetings with CEOs and HRs of big companies, and meeting many new people…have enjoyed many relaxed evenings with new people, as the coffee and restaurant culture here is awesome! I’m still adjusting to the climate and food, however, and unfortunately over a week ago was taken to a hospital due to food poisoning and dehydration, which was a good wake up call, as here cant survive anymore with just energy drinks and chocolate like in Finland…but in any case was able to go to Lahore for a cool AIESEC wedding, which was amazing experience with lots of colours, dancing, laughing, great food, friendly people, and beautiful setting with truly special atmosphere…just loved it! Of course there was some drama of trying to get a camel for the groom to ride, and then getting angry calls from the camel owner, but all ended well, and we enjoyed a successful wedding in a small village nearby Lahore in a pretty farm setting.

Last week I finally saw the Arabian sea, and got to enjoy the lovely breezing wind, and tasted fresh, rich mangoes, and started wearing shawarkamiz, as they are very comfortable in hot, humid weather! Last weekend we stayed overnight at a lovely beach hut with colleagues and trainees, and swam in the ocean, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and rode a camel!:)

This week we are hosting our first roof party for AIESEC members and partners, and having our first corporate dinner with important CEOs…and one of my best friends and another good friend are coming here for an internship in a week or so, and one friend is already here, so will be exciting to share these experiences with them!
