THE weekend in Netherlands
Yes last weekend I spent in Rotterdam and Amsterdam with an awesome guide Petr Skvaril Ltd:)

There are several reasons while the weekend was so special to me.

Due to the long conversation with Petr and the meetings with AIESEC people I have reinsure myself how important is it for me to be based somewhere where the surrounding (job, living conditions, learning opportunities, cultures) and people (leaders, strong personalities who has set high life goals and doing maximum to achieve them) must be challenging for me!
Last one year and half I started to feel a little stuck as there was no other option to accomplish my goal (to finish my university)by different way then by the boring one (to stay in Zlin as an ordinary student)...I don’t want to say that it wasn’t worth or that people I spent time with weren’t smart enough its just a feeling I have slowed down got a bit lazy compare to my AIESEC times...And the last weekend when I was listening to Peto and the other AIESEC people I met I have just realized its time to get busy again, I am recovered enough...

Other reason was of course the reunion itself with Peto ...
Meeting a person with whom I have so many memories moments situations jokes learnings experience friends in common (year 2004-2005 we spent twenty for seven in Prague at AIESEC Czech national committee-working together, living together) was simply fabulous...
On Friday we had a dinner in African restaurant where I tested for the first time the African cuisine and the African beer we drank from coconuts. Afterwards we strolled around the night Rotterdam and stopped in a bar with wonderful view on Rotterdam Erazmus Bridge. Tried a Japanese beer and finished at half past 3 AM...Yes the waking up on Saturday was quite challenging:)

Night Rotterdam

Saturday we decided for the trip to Amsterdam where we walk down the streets admiring the Amsterdam busy life, flower market, canals, jump to one of the tourist boat saw Amsterdam from different perspective and finally finished the day at jazz club listening to jazz- funky- rock life band.


Typical Amsterdam - canals and bikes:)


Fabulous reunion with Petr


Perfect night Amsterdam


In the jazz club

Sunday we visited the Kinderdijk a place on the suburb of Rotterdam which was completely opposite from what I had seen on Saturday in Amsterdam. The place really peaceful, silent not crowded by thousands of crazy Dutch people constantly threatening tourist by sound of ring bells on the bikes “Get out of my path”!:) Place with numerous of windmills squeezed in a really small area.
Before my departure back to Troyes Petr prepared a great dinner opened a bottle of delicious red wine ...I would describe the day as really relaxing :)

I was today discussing "challenging environment" with one of managers from our head office in Kuwait.I felt like being back - we were talking about leadership, international marketing and management and comparing our views on Middle East business environment. It was really amazing to combine experience from AIESEC and Alshaya - giantic retailer...and I realized, how much I learnt and honestly...had feeling, that now I got stuck. But I will go :o) and change it :o) soon!

And I seriously MISS YOU - all...
