(95) Being MC VP Project (CSR) in Mainland of China

Being MC VP Project (CSR) Mainland of China 2007/2008

My dear Friends,
As my one year experience in China is almost over I would like to share with you couple of things …

***I had Amazing team!!! People who took care of me, supported me in very challenging times, who very extremely funny (and mean ;)) and I had wonderful time during e.g. our team bonding – sunbathing + beach, grass land + horse riding, skiing + spa, Happy Valley and so many others…they are my friends I will never forget … Echo, Houston, Vincent, Jolin, Kitty, Dan, Mino and Stephanie.

***AIESEC in Mainland China WOW!!! Here I have to say RESPECT!!! Hard working, passionate, results and solution oriented, achieving your goals, having impact, being flexible and developing new strategies and executing them very fast….after 4 years I learned so much in MoC about AIESEC, I am motivated and didn’t loose passion (as lot of times we were scared in CR)…and all this is thanks to previous MC terms and their hard work to build and develop @ here in this way (THANK YOU and CONRATULATIONS!!!), and thanks to all members, MC, LCEBs for their hard work (I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!!) and proud to experience that moment when we realized that China is Global Nr. 1 …..so touching….

***AP HOT TO GO!!! People REALLY care about you, this is what I realized once people were saying “AP Family”, yes, it is a family where you can share, talk, laugh, cry and they listen, ask, help and trying to learn…..this was even stronger for me in AP XPRO in Japan – aaaaa LOVE IT! Oh I feel really good among my AP friends….AP Hot To Go H-O-TT-O-G-O Au Hot To Go Au Hot to Go! :)

Experience China!!!

Learning Chinese + practicing at markets, travelling – Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Xian, Tianjin, Xitang, Shenzhen etc, getting to know habits and culture, playing traditional game Ma Jiang, eating great Chinese food (even when I was sometimes in shocked :)), going to KTV, barging with street sellers and much more…its intense…


LIFE – CHANGING!?!

Yes, my personality has changed so much, I realized so many things about myself, I went through so many challenges and I didn’t gave up….I am stronger, I learned so many new things, I am more open, flexible and solution oriented :) I really care about things happening around me, about impact we can have, I am so much closer with my family….oh there is thousands of things I would share :)

These are feelings after one year in very short description….
I HAD HERE INCREDIBLE, AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE TRULY…..

For my friends – CHINA IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE! I strongly recommend you guys come here but not for a week or two but really experience this country with all beauty, problems or challenges here….Each country has its positives and negatives sides so as China…but once you don’t experience it you never know how is it in real. And also THANK YOU for your support during the year – it saved me lot of times :)!!!

For all my Chinese friends – THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For everything you have done this year for me and for being my friend…. And I guess I can say :)

我是中国人 :) 我爱中国 :) 我爱我的中国朋友 :) 谢谢！！！

LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Yours Nina

(94) Jun...rozlucky...ponaucenia...prichod....odchod...

Hmm moj Jun....kolko krat sa mi zobrazi minulorocny Jun ako som prisla do pekingu, poznavala novy team, okolie, vsetko bolo pre mna nove....a here am I ( a tu som)...rok v Cine...ked si prechadzam vsetkymi tymi spomienkami, kde som vsade bola, co vsetko sa naucila....

....hmm mam velmi zmiesane pocity....

....citim sa strasne vdacna za tak skvely zivot aky mam...

...citim sa smutna ze uz odchadzam...

...citim sa posilnena tym vsetkym cim som tu presla....

...citim sa sama lebo moj tym uz odisiel...

....citim sa natesena lebo uz budem skoro doma...

....citim sa stastna lebo budem uz so svojou rodinov a kamaratmi...

....citim sa....ani neviem ako vlastne.....

Pred par dnami som volala s Menus :) ach vzdy si budeme mat o com hovorit na cele hodiny :) tak sme museli byt efektivne aby sme nevolali cely den, a tam mi povedala "Nina chapes ty si uz rok v Cine, ved len tod si odchadzala ako mala Nina do velkej Ciny s velkymi ocami plnymi strachu :)" hmm a mala pravdu....uvedomila som si ze s malej Niny ktora este len pred rokom prisla do Ciny, s urcitou skusenostou uz za sebou - oproti tomu co som sa tu naucila, zazitkami (ci uz dobrymi alebo menej dorbymi) som sa velmi naucila a vyrastla.....

...a tak rozmyslam, mal by kazdy ist na dlhsiu dobu do krajiny uplne neznamej a cudzej, kde jednoducho nemoze len tak zavolat svojim kamaratom a rodine ze proste pride, kde nerozumie jazyk daneho kmena, kde kultura a zvyky su kompletne odlisne, kde si zacnete vazit to co vlastne doma mate ( a to su naozaj jednoduche veci, ako teplo pocas zimy doma, pitie vody z tocky, cisty vzduch, priroda, naozaj i ked sa nam to zda niekedy nic a malo a obycajne....mame vela), aby si uvedomil urcite veci, svoje hodnoty a stal sa o krocik viac dospelym....

A tak uz len par dni, ja a Cina :) ja som prekonala cely rok v tejto vzdialenej krajine...rok plny brutal prace do 2-3 rana, rok plny vyziev a nemilych situacii, rok plny cestovania a spoznavania kultury, rok plny novych kamaratov a znamych...rok plny cool zazitkov a sradny...rok plny slz - ci uz od smiechu, sklamania, chybania domova, stastia, stratenosti......najelpsie je ako si s Evickou vzdy spolu sharujeme (ta kamoska z Noveho Mesta co je v Hangdzou co som za nou bola v Decembri) a smejeme sa ze ake su urcite situacie tazke alebo primitivne a uz sa tesime ako sa stretneme doma a budeme sa na tom vsetkom len smiat i ked teraz nam to pripada vsetko takezlozite, no veci sa vsetky daju vyriesit....

Moji rodicia prichadzaju za 4 dni - chapete 4 DNI!!!! :D:D tak uz som poslala moji 60 kg do Hong Kongu kde dufam v poriaddku dorazia, naplanovala cestu - Peking 4 dni, Xian 1 den, Shanghai 3 dni, hangdzou 2 dni, prestup v Shenzhene, Hong Kong 4 dni aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 12 Jula sme na letisku vo Viedni dufam stastlivo :)

A uz sa tesim na pecene zemiaky :D dobry domaci kolac, kapustnicu, kotlikovy gulas, chlebik, krupicovu kasu, vsetky mozne druhy syra :) roztek so syrom a sunkou, bryndzove/kapustne halusky, proste vsetko slovenkseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

Takze toto je moj asi posledny prispevok predtym ako pridu rodicia...s deckami v Cine som sa rozlucila na milion parties (az 4 :)) bola sranda, ponosili nam darceky, naozaj su tu vsetci strasne mily z nich...ani si nepamatam ci nase decka davaju odchadzajucemu MCcku darceky, ale asi nie, neviem, no proste bolo to mile a sladke.....aj sme si opat poplakali....

...a este si pisem vela krat s Echo...vzdy mi pise ako je to tam brutal a to ci ono (isla do Indie na rok tak ako ja do Ciny a vzdy hovori ze ja som ju k tomu inspirovala), no a vzdy mi pise - vzdy si predstavim ako by to zvladla nasa Nina a ako by sa zachovala :) a tak musim byt silna ako ty - proste to zvladnem :) a az teraz chapem ako si to kolko krat nemala tu jednoduche a stale si sa snazila brat veci pozitivne a s usmevom....ach ano....niekedy sa clovek dokaze prekonat - ani neviem ako velmi je silny....

Ok tak sa zatial drzte - kludne aj jeden druheho, a tesim sa ked vas uz vsetkych konecne uvidim :) Lubim vas....paaaaaaaaa
