Morocco!
I just came back from one of the more amazing trips I have ever had in my life.Morocco is a very interesting country with lots of interesting things to do and visit.
Shopping there is an amazing experience, you need to bargain for everything.... I personally do not like bargaining but it is fun to do it from time to time.
Something that I really liked was the food, they have really amazing dishes and in a way it remind me of mexican food (mainly for the spicy things). They have a lot of fruits and something that I really loved was that you could drink fresh orange juice almost for free. (Not like in Belgium where a glass of juice cost around 3 euros)
It was the first time I was in North Africa and I can say that it is completely different to the other places I have been in Africa.
I will upload pictures and more stories about the trip soon

Strange day
Today was a very strange day.... everything started in the morning when I was waiting almost 20 minutes for my bus in order to go home, so for that reason I arrived late to the office. Then I found out that the buses in Brussels went on strike, so the whole transportation system was a huge mess.
Also I needed to pick up my new passport today, so during my lunch break I went to the Mexican embassy, normally it takes 40 min. to go there both ways, but this time took me almost 2 hours.., to come back I manage to take one bus but it was very crowded, I think that around 120 people was in the bus...
Then later in the office the fire alarm went on and we had to evacuate the building... it was a simulation but it was the first time I had a fire simulation in long time (I think the last one was when I was at elementary school). I took a picture of people going out of the office with my phone.
At the end of the day after having dinner I had no bus to come back home so I walked for 20 min to get back home...
Life is complicated when public transportation gets crazy, I hope tomorrow everything gets back to normal.

Spain
I just came back from Spain and it was again a great experience, Spain is the most similar country in Europe to Mexico, so in a way was a bit like being back home. I also went to a very nice Mexican restaurant, I think it is the best one I have been in Europe.
The purpose of this trip was not to go and walk like crazy doing some sight seeing, the whole trip for me was to get to know better some friends and also to visit some old friends and I think I achieved this objective.
I had so much fun this weekend :)

4 years ago...
4 years ago I was studying and living in Germany, I remember that I just had came back from Spain from an AIESEC conference...
I was checking my mails and I remember reading the news that there was a terrorist attack in Madrid, in the same place I had been just a few days ago...
I remember some of the delegates were trying to get in touch with each other because we were not sure if no AIESEC member was in Madrid at that time.
Wow... time passes so far, all of those events seemed like yesterday... now after 4 years I am going back to Spain, I am going to pass the weekend in Madrid :)
I am sure I will have a great time there and also I am looking forward to see some old friends that I have not seen in a while.
The picture on this post is from EuroLDS, nice memories :)

Blogging from flickr
I just discover that I can blog from flickr, so this is my test post
What's next?
I am again on that part of the year when I need to start thinking on what to do next in my life...On the past few days my head has been full of ideas of things that I would like to do with my life.
Well the good thing is that I do not need to worry so much for what to do for the next six months, since I got my contract extended, so this means that I will be working at ABN AMRO until September :) and the next months will be very interesting and intense with all the changes that will happen with the merger of the bank.
