Alumni Event!
It has already been a few days since the AIESEC 60 Anniversary Alumni Event and I had no time to update my blog and to share my thoughts.The alumni event was an amazing event it was great to see so many old friends and also to meet a lot of new people.I heard a lot of very inspirational speeches and it helped me clarify what I want to do in the future.I can not imagine my life with out AIESEC, so I was happy to be there to celebrate its 60 anniversary.

Battle of Waterloo
This weekend it was the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Every year there is a representation of the battle so you are able to live that experience.Unfortunatelly I was not able to see the battle, but I saw the preparation for it.
I love history to visit so historic places and when there is something special like this happening I enjoy it even more.It is also funny that in my 3 years in Belgium I never went to Waterloo...

3 years in Belgium
3 years ago, I came to live in Belgium, it has been a great experience :)I do not know if I will be here for a 4 year.... but life is full of unexpected things so you never know.
I was reading my blog from the time I arrive to Belgium and I will like to share with you what I wrote that time
June 22, 2005
After an almost 11 hours trip I finally arrived to Belgium :)
Some highlights of my trip
- It was sad to leave my family again for one year, so it was sad to leave them in Tampico
- My stayed of 5 hours in Mexico City Aiport was cool, first Mariana and Cecilia went to visit me (as I already mention on my last post) and then Cindy, Kike and Fabian came so it was also great to see them there.
- Airplaine travel was ok but i could not sleep well
- Stay in Amsterdam of 2 hours nothing interesting happend
- Flight Amsterdam - Brussels was really fast 20 min trip they where giving the drinks when we were already going down.
- Arrive to Brussels it was cool, people went to pick me up (30 min late but it was cool), after that we took all my stuff to Paola and Christoph place where I will stay until 1 of July when I will move to the appartment
After my trip it was my first afternoon on Brussels, we went to pick up Vicky a girl from UK that will be MC Ceeder and also she is my roomate for the first 2 weeks.
Then we went to a gyro place that was nice.
Today me, Kevin and Vicky are going to a conference on the European Parlament so I think it will be real cool
That is all for now, I think I still have jetlag...

My carbon footprint

I just calculated my carbon footprint, I am not so sure the results are correct since I do not put the correct amounts of electricity and gas that are used in my house. I putted some calculations.
I will try to do this exercise every year so that way I can see if I improve or not my carbon footprint.
ps. This is the good thing of having a blog you can just post something and then compare it in the future without loosing the previous report :P
