SNCF: the Star Conference

It is very good to attend an AIESEC conference after an 18 hours´ trip on coach followed by 7 hours of waiting for your flight and a 12 hours long night flight to a time zone that is 6 hours in advance compared to yours. It makes your jet lag even jetter and even lagger. Your dizziness appears as introversion, you are a lame delegate, always sleeping in the sessions but so awake during the evening parties! Conference also makes you exposed to almost a hundred people and your brain gets stretched...manages orientation in a huuuuge campus, a totally unknown language and characters, sooo many people with sooo many faces and even more names :-)). You can feel your neurons dying but have to motivate the rest to create new synapses. It makes your English weak like never before and your sentences full of total blackouts (eh...what´s that word...drink!). It also makes you know a bunch of people from diverse LCs, find that the level of knowledge of fresh EB members is just above your expectations, and most of all, finally see real people under the labels HKBU, HKUST, CUHK, PolyU, Lingnan and HKU. Which makes your work in the MC afterwards more meaningful and motivates you. And makes you wanna stay in the campus among the delegates if you´re about to leave cause you´ll never see them ALL together again. Good start :-)).
