NatConf
My second NatConf and the third Finnish conference.
Actually, I was feeling quite old (as an AIESECer): knowing many people and even the traditions of the Finnish official dinners (funny, I never thought I would be telling those to the Finnish AIESECers:)
I went there together with Katya Moskalets (ex-LCP of AIESEC in Odessa, she used to be on internship in India working for Tata, then stayed in the company for more years and then moved to Helsinki with one of their projects till the end of March, for now).
We came on the second day, so by the time we arrived MCP was selected (Helena, congratulations!), all speeches passed. But still we enjoyed some sessions, even contributed to the preparation of 60th anniversary and attended the official dinner.
One of the things that positively impressed me (I noticed that before, but not to this degree): the level of alumni involvement. It's something really intangible. Not like planning to call 20 alumni and ask them how they want to cooperate with AIESECers. It's the alumni who enjoy being in the organisation even after leaving it and establishing their careers, etc. They are now thinking about submitting a bid for EuroCo 2008 and the OC, for now, consists almost 100% of alumni! And it's not that someone asked them to do that. It just came to their mind :)
Now, back in Helsinki, we'll be working on Success 2008. I hope, it will be truly a success :)

Boiler Room
I have recently watched this film. Actually, it all started from a sesion by Nuno (the chair of Achieve 2008 in Norway). He showed a part of it together with the great speech by the Colonel from "The Scent of Woman".
Then Leentje told me more.
Anyway, to make th long story short, I downloaded the movie and watched.
So, it's defiitely worth seeing if you want:
1. To see good sales. Yep, it is quite conradictory from the moral side and it actually reminded me a very similar situation this summer when I was looking for a job. But still, the guy did sell well
2. To think about the value of ethics in any kind of work you do. And think about the relationships you have: with family, friends, sole mates, etc
3. Just enjoy a nice movie
Good luck!

Swedish and Finnish
I have just started learning those two.
Donno how to explain the feeling, but I just love learning new languages. It's like discovering the new land. Every single page gives you so much. You even start feeling closer with the locals, even though I have had just a couple of classes and my language is really basic.
Let's see how it goes

Italy and Norway
I am a bit slow to post this, but finally I've found time and place.
First of all, big THANK YOU, Mashenka!!! And hope to see you soon again. Now in Helsinki ;)
Some observations and conclusions:
1. Next time I decide to see a city, I'll put all effort just to have time and space for seeing and feeling it. Rushing through is not the best strategy :)
2. Maybe I've been in Helsinki for too long :) Italians are a bit too loud for me
3. Italians build impressive things. I hope I'll have enough time one day to come back, get used to the culture, feel it, experience the famous hospitality (and Sunday dinners :))
4. Conferences do happen without facis being dead by the end of them. And quite nice actually :)
5. Even if the common stereotype says that 2 countries are the same, be prepared to see many differences. And enjoy them :)
Yep. And thank you Magnus, Kirsten, Kenneth, Sonam and Camilla for selecting me ;) And Aisling, Leen, Kristin, Bjorn, Leo and Nuno for being in the same team :)

2007
I wonder how many millions of similar posts, letters, notes, just thoughts there are around the world now.
Definitely that was a great year. (It cannot be another way after the New Year Party in the flat of our green Olya we had last year :)
End of my EB term, admission to HSE, trip to Tashkent and lots of other great, unforgettable events.
Sometimes it was difficult. But that one I needed to become stronger and more clever. And I am really grateful for people who moved me towards those diffculties: sometimes on purpose, but mainly things just happened.
But the most part was just amazing. Challenging, educating, developing. It made me value simple things much more than I used to: family, friends, country. Things that we possess and miss. Differences in people.
But, however great was 2007, I believe 2008 will be even better. It should be. This is the only way things can happen :)
I wish you the very best 2008 possible and thank you for making 2007 so great!

The Baltics Trip
Amazing, awesome, unbelievable, crazy, just "the" trip
It almost always contradicted my understanding of "good trips", but that it even better: very flexible plan (hm, it's even hard to call a plan, "We go with someone to some place at some point of time where another someone gonna pick us up."), lots of time spent in buses and rushing around sightseeing places.
Yep, it may all sound strange, but still
It was the best trip in my life so far.
One of the most intensive months when it comes to the number of new friends.
My personal record of the number of countries to visit in one day: I woke up in Tallinn, in the afternoon we were going around Riga and I even managed to skate for the first time in my life and in the evening we were having the great Kaunas pre-XMas party.
Fairy-tales-go-live small old town Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Kaunas, Trakai. Great people, the brightest expression of joy and surprise I've seen so far (yep, Estonian interns do care about each other). The great AIESEC CEE spirit. Latino-Latvian Catholic XMas (I even managed to play Holy Mary :)
Thank you people who made this trip so colourful and enjoyable. Thank you for taking care, hosting, taking around, talking, having fun, just being together :)
