Hello my dears
Here i am in front of the PC after 1 month of NOT writing...
Here is what happened during this time, first of all i went to Riga for MC to MC to MC meeting with Latvia and Estonia, great trip, great people and great places, you will find some pictures from the meeting at the end of this post.
One week later i went with the Lithuanian MC camping, 50 KM away from Vilnius, it was not the usual camping that we have in Romania because Lithuania does not have mountains, so we went to a lake :D. Cool and nice, it rained for 3 days and we were all wet all the way but we really enjoyed the trip, the beers and the fact that we were together there, we went in the lake at 2 in the morning and we really had fun, half drunk.
After that weekend we started working really bad, and we didn't have time for nothing, until last weekend when we went to Siauliai for the Summer National Conference (Esency SNC) where i finally meet the network of AIESEC Lithuania, only around 30 people were there but SNC it
was a great experience.
Now let me tell you some things about AIESEC in Lithuania, about conferences, about complaining that we have to stay 3 in 2 beds in Romania and about not having hot watter 24/7. In Lithuania conferences are usually held in schools, and for sleeping each LC gets a classroom and you have to bring your own sleeping bag and covers. This conference was held in a location that belong to Siauliai University, a location with one main building, and 6 more small cabins made of wood with 3-4 bads, 50 years old maybe, where the door is hard to open or close and you have no heating system, and during the night you realize that you can see outside because the walls and door are full of holes, and you have no protection from the cold air coming in. Where you WISH there would be 3 persons in one bed. There is no shower and the toilets are the ones our grand parents used back in the country side. If you need to take a shower there is a lake close to the location and you can try there. The OC is responsible for cooking.

during the night is getting very cold and at 6 AM i started screaming in my sleeping bag because it was so cold that i could no longer sleep. It is funny but i really enjoyed this conference, probably more than the Romanian ones, will you still complain that you have to share 2 beds with 3 persons ??? i will never do that. And...talking about sex during conferences...In Romania we all want to have our own rooms to be able to spend time with BF or GF, well here that would be impossible.
INTEGRATION: Well welcome to one of the "shocks" i had here, LATIN vs Lithuanians...well i am the same guy as back in Romania, doing jokes, having beers, dancing and flirting...in the beginning it was ok, BUT the latin spirit that Romanians have is considered as being kind of "OBSCENE" here and people got the idea that i am trying to make out with all the girls in that conference...well i will have to stop doing the "regular" things i do in Romania...We went to a "CLUB" last night, one of the hottest in town. Well we payed around 10 dollars the entrance
and i was hoping
way to Riga
way to Riga
Trrr, sound of the meeting : tssss
for some good club music with a real DJ and shit...but inside..it was something like "Troia" in Romania or "drum and monkey" (with half of the dancing ring and loads of disco music and normal lights)....and more, i went on the dance ring to dance...SURPRISE boys were dancing like they have no idea of what they are doing, and most of the ppl there were girls...of course some ppl were looking at me strange...the bad part is that i think that there is no real club in this town.
I had a long night sleep and i realized that...i miss my friends back in Canada...Peter, Sean, Gelman..all the interns and AIESEC in Calgary..
Still i like Lithuania and i don't regret coming here.."I LOVE THIS CITYYY"
Just to make it clear...Lithuania is better than Romania as country, but the level of conferences is not as in Romania and people DO NOT complain all the time 😊
Enjoy the pictures...
