Planning Weekend ICHEC
This few days I had my first impresion of how are LC here in Belgium more in detail, I went to a place on the middle of nowhere to LC ICHEC planning weekend (it was actually not during the weekend but anyway) I had lots of fun, but living with the place was full of mosquitos and flying animals so it was almost imposible to sleep. Also yesterday we pass the night playing RISK it was really cool (it remembered me when I was playing with Chris and Vlad) even tough I did not won I had lots of fun. Tomorrow Vija will arrive she is the Lithuanian girl that will be on the MC Team so it will be real cool to go to the airport and pick her up and finally after months of talking on msn to meet her. That is all for nowcu Pedro

European Parlament Conference
Yesterday was a great day!
I went to the European Parlament for a Conference about fair trade, it was cool but too deep they were talking about different motions the comision is taking and things like that.
Also to went there we got lost and we walked like 30 min with our suits under the sun.
Today I went to another conference in a very fancy restaurant the conference was about Internet security.
Later today I will go to a BBQ of a LC here that is having their planning days.
ps. I am still tired jet lag sucks I suddenly wake up at 3 am and can not go back to sleep.

Already on Belgium
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...

Already on the Mexico City Airport
I am now on the Mexico City airport I arrived from Tampico like 3 hours ago.
What have I been doing here well
I had lunch and after that Cecy and Mariana arrived so I was talking and eating with them, it was great to see them again.
After that I went to check in for my flight, I was afraid my bags where to heavy and they will charge me more money but no, it was ok they did not told me anything :)
After that I started looking for a wireless internet connection point, I finally found it after walking around the airport, at the moment I am sitting down on the floor on the middle of the airport. I am afraid a policeman will came and pick me up, but I will not move until he or she comes.
My flight leaves on 3 hours so I still have plenty of time.
Well my next post will be on Europe or maybe later today depends if I am bored or not

Mexico 1 - Brazil 0
As I mention yesterday Mexico play against Brazil on the Conferations Cup in Germany and MEXICO WON! 1- 0
It was a great game and the people here in Mexico is going crazy for this result. We now pass to semifinals and our rival will be Germany or Argentina, lets see what happend. (Maybe if I have money and time I can go to a game since I will already be on Belgium)
Well my last day in Mexico was nice I just came back from having lunch with my family and I said goodbye to them.
I am thinking on going later to eat tacos but I am still not sure of that.

Finish packing
I am finally ready to go to Belgium, I finish packing and also doing all the stuff I needed to do before going.
Well I have packed two really big bags (I am afraid they will be overweight) but considering that I am going to live to Belgium for at least a year I think it is ok.
Also today I went to buy some Tequila bottles to take to Belgium, I applied all my Tequila knowledge obtain during Tequilazo and I got Tequila 100% agave and reposado, it is a really good tequila the only one that is better than that one is the Tequila Triple Destilado but that was really expensive.
Tomorrow is the last sunday I will go and have lunch with ALL my family before going so it will be kind of my goodbye lunch since I will not see them again at least for one year.
Also tomorrow is Fathers day here in Mexico and also the national soccer team will play against Brazil on the Confederations Cup, so I guess it will be a cool day.
Picture of one of my bags, I am talking another one exactly as that one
Skype
I finally got a microphone for my laptop so I just downloaded skype.My user name is pedroadrianaguirre so fell free to add meps. I have been packing all day and I have so much stuff that I want to take to Belgium but it will not fit on my bags :S
Great Weekend
I just came back from the USA it was a great trip for the weekend, I had lots of fun with all my family and also I bought lots of cool stuff.Well this week is going to be very crazy since it will be my last week in Mexico, I need to pack, to buy some stuff, go to the doctor, etc.That is all for nowbye byepedro
Going up to USA
Hey I am going tomorrow morning to the USA, to be more specific I will be on Mc Allen, Texas (it is a city near the border were MOST of the Mexicans go shopping) everybody speaks Spanish there, so I fell like home :)
The reason I go there is the clothes are more cheaper than here in Mexico so it is a shopping trip, also it is a family trip since everybody of my family is going and since this is one of my last weekends with them before going to Belgium I need to pass some time with them.

Tequlazo!!
I just came back from a great weekend in Guadalajara it was really cool and special. (this was officially my last AIESEC event in Mexico, and it was the first time I realized I will stop meeting some great friends on the different AIESEC events)
Well going back to Tequilazo here is a small summary
Day 1
We went to Chapala it is a lake and has a small Island on the middle where we went to have lunch. We ate a very expensive fish and also lots of ciruelas that Jesse got from a small kid.
Day 2
Day 2 was cool we went to Tequila City and to Amatitlan, we visit two Tequila factories, it was great specially because on one they gave us free sample and we were drinking very cool and expensive Tequila. Also now I know all the different types of Tequila and how they make it.
In the night we had a party that had lots of beer and tequila.
Day 3
Day 3 was more relax, since everybody was tired of the whole last day, we went to a city tour and visit some old buildings
I just want to thank everybody that made this weekend really special.
You can see all my pics on pedroadrian.fotopic.net on the Tequilazo 2005 folder
20 days to Belgium
Well life of graduate is cool, I do not have anything to worry (well officially I am un employed ;P )
In the next two weeks I have lots of things to do before going to Belgium, so here are my plans
Tomorrow I go to Guadalajara for a reception weekend on Tequila City, it will be real cool.
Then the next weekend I will go to USA for shopping, it is really cheap to buy clothes there compared to Mexico.
And the next next weekend I will go to Belgium in 20 days, 19 to be more exact. So I need to start packing and making all the last adjustments.
Well that is all for now
