MENA LDS 2007 in Morocco
will go down in my memories as a week I will never forget. It was a defining moment in my experience here in Bahrain as I learned more about the role of a MENA region in AIESEC, the role of AIESEC Bahrain in the entire AIESEC network, and I was constantly impressed by the ideas and relationships that came out of a week spent with 230 people from 20 different countries.
I was also so lucky to work on a faci team of people who are each incredible in their own way. The stories they had to share, the experiences that have all gone through and what they've accomplished make me understand that people are strong enough to make great things a reality.
I was even more lucky to also be a part of AIESEC Bahrain. I always loved everyone from AIESEC Bahrain but this conference brought out each individuals personality and strengths. They shows unity amongst eachother and integrated so well with all the other delegations. They put themselves out there, brought new ideas to the table, and lived the meaning of AIESEC! I love you guys and am so proud of who each of you are as individuals and as a team.
During this trip I: 1. spent 24 hours in Dubai International airport because of an emergency airport shutdown 2. lost my wallet 3. missed my flight from Casablanca to Bahrain and 4. lost my cell charger and after all this, I cannot find one tiny reason to complain.
Missing my flight back to Bahrain:
This was actually a blessing. I was leaving Morocco feeling very sad that I didn't get to enjoy a cafe yet I missed my flight! And so I had a day and night to spend with Stella, another faci, roaming the streets of Casablanca, eating delicious oranges, escargo, chickpease, moraccan bread, nuts, coconuts, fruit yoghurt dessert, moroccan egg sandwhiches from a street vendor, coconut and finally a nice cafe au laitte on the second floor of a cafe overlooking happy busy people and fake allegators.
...the oranges.... I didn't know such deliciousness existed in this world. Imagine an orange a bit smaller than the size of a grapefruit, fresh and with the green leaves still attached, sweeter and with more flavor than the best orange you've ever tasted, and that's what we experienced in Morocco. Stella, no worries, you're in my green book, in english too :)
