IC experience

How should I start? Should there be a right start for this? I think you know the answer. It's been only a week since IC is over and I still can't recollect all the moments that happened to me - it was such an intense period. Luckily, there are the agenda and the photos. Even though I only recollect single momens. Like snapshots.
CEE pre-meeting - Bulgarian delegation enters the room. Bulgarian delegation meets Bulgarian delegate for the first time in real: welcome, Geri! :))) The CEE director Jarda speaks, then the GN board. Sessions passing by. The meeting about ER on GN level on the lawn outside the building. CEE functional meetings: VPFs of CEE rock!!! :) AI visit. The present themselves one by one, Dey speaks last. Kiko taking photos all the time. :)
Preparation for IC. At the stage performing the roll-call of the Bulgarian delegation...hmm in front of 550 people. :) Global Village!!! Warszawa city centre with the Palace of Culture and Science again! Full of colours! At least 100 people dancing AIESEC dances in front of the stage. Bulgarian cuisine was the hit!!! PAI Dey talking with PAIs since 1997 online! Yellow baloons flying around during the DHL/DPWN launch. The chair David and his awesome spirit! Sessions "Pioneer in me" with david start. IC LIVE!!! Wow! Michelle is typing every single word in AIESEC Dialogues - the topic "Who will change the world". Every 5 mins she's posting the collected opinions!!!
TATA Consultancy Services will be the new IS vendor! In 2007 - launch of the new IS based on @XP!!!!!! The lights are red, then the other lights go on...the ppt starts... Alumni Hall of Fame! The people who have contributed so much to AIESEC...So inspiring.
PWC postcards - original, inspiring, awesome! Cool ads ;)
Lech Walesa speaking about Solidarity. IG workshops time. Finance IG rocks! The learning circle was great, so diverse opinions?! So much chocolate...only huge crowds for coffee...:) I got addicted to chocolate and coffee...
HP cafe! Cool, only if there was enough time to browse http://live.ic2006.pl/Meetings with some VPFs around the network... It's good to know you're not alone :-D
Yeah, parties, of course :))) Work hard-party hard principle in practice :)))
Bowling - I'm the best! :) I made a strike!!! I know I'm a master ;))) People sleeping in the bus on the way back to the campus.
AIESEC University Live! What are you doing to make issue-based experiences happen? Our organization is expanding. we make a bigger impact. Every day. We're becoming truly Global! The establishment of a sixth GN: Middle East and North Africa (MENA)! Two more official country expansions: Bahrain and Qatar!!!
Developing Leaders Day: Leading from within with ABN AMRO and Cadburry Schweppes! Time to discover a LOT about yourself. Coffee break. Someone next to me says: there is one country in the world where people nod in the opposite way: the nod for "yes" in the rest of the world there means "no" and the same about the nod for "no". Surprise, we're from that country, haha! :-D
Brodie in the plenary speaking about the previous AI term. Brodie in the plenary speaking about inspiration. PAI - PAI hug and greets. The whole plenay is standing. The present part of AI team 05/06 is standing in front.
Then all of them leave the stage. Dey speaks.
EVERY DAY STARTS TODAY!
