CK Link - Theatre of Dreams for Calvin

MCP Re-Union

We met first in Guatemala City in AIESEC's International Presidents' Meeting 2001.
Then, it was International Congress in Switzerland.
Thridly, Hong Kong was the spot.
Malta's IPM 2002 was our fourth time meeting each other.

Then, 3 years passed and it is April 2005. Michael Moosberger and I meet again here in New York City, USA - How amazing it is! Not just to the fact that we are meeting always in different countries, but to me, it's a good case practice (GCP^_^) demonstrating how the AIESEC alumni keep our network, even years after our official terms with the organization.

It is also motivating to know that Mike is persuing his intellectual and career development in a new stage - enrolling in the Master program in International Relations in Cambridge.

So we talked a lot about the current affairs and shared the old AIESEC stories and updating friends in our network...that is really nice.

In the past weekend, we also did some tourings in the New York City together. Even though we failed to get the tickets to see the Statue of Liberty (apprently they sold too many tickets for the day and we arrived the pier late in the afternoon) and the Intrepid Sea and Air Museum, we had some great time touring Chinatown, WTC site, Wall Street, NYC's Central park and even a Broadway Show! I'm also glad that I went out with Mike's classmates and shared a lot of good conversations and exchanged ideas on different issues with the international group from Cambridge University. At one point, it was really interesting that since all of us were foreign to the City or even the country itself, I became the "local" with my only 2.5 months experiences living in NYC.

Besides, I'm also glad to see the warmth finally seems to arrive in NYC. This is something I like, given that I'm going to tour around in Washington DC and Baltimore in the weekend.
