I had a trip to Dnipropetrovsk to work for National IS Team. Right at railway station I was met by guys and seconds after we had a nice chat. Working in one room for three days made us being real team and I really want to say big-big thanks to all people, whom I met during this days - they all are real Personalities.
Of course, at Dnepr we had not only hard work, but a hard play. No, I'm not talking about FIFA 2006 and Magic Card games, but about it too. I'm talking about nice party we had at first day. Thanks for all people, who came to it, sorry for not remembering all of you, I was so drunk that don't remember largest part of party :) I remember party partly. Nice calambur. Still, I saw that AIESEC in Dnipropetrovsk are very friendly, funny, great and easy-going people. Without a doubt, they can work just as good as relax.
Luckily, next morning we had no headache and continued our productive work. New ideas appered in our heads, we shared them, brainstormed, another ideas appeared, and the main thing I liked was sharing expirience.
That is the most great in every trip and try to take every opportunity to learn something new from other people, see your daily thing from another angle and be happy sharing your knowledge with other people. For example, I've promoted my and Vitalik's favourite thing for last month - podcasts.
What else? Enlarge your network - you do not need anything to do it, just come to person, say "Hi, my name is..." and heart will advice you what to do next.
After meeting we had a big analyzing conversation after which our work in platform made a large step forward. So, that's another my conclusion - always analyze anything and try to critisize it - just to make it better.

but... you know... still Kyiv is the best :)

With great respect,
