Global Village :-)

Well, Garen took a revision of many concepts in Accounting today and the session was really helpful. There is one more session to go before the finals and it would be also for revising accounting concepts.

In Strategy class, we had no case today. It was a wrap up session to conclude Business Strategy section and kick-start Corporate Strategy section. This introduction of Corporate Strategy and the whole concept of why businesses diversify resulted into a long discussion amongst us, even during lunch time. I am sure we are all looking forward to know more :-)

Last one today was the economics class, which is also nearing its conclusion now.

The real highlight of the day was the Global Village Event organized by IE Net Impact Club.

There were booths by different countries to showcase their highlights, achievements, culture and most important [for us] to help us taste their national cuisines and delicacies, the whole Library Campus had turned into a Gala.

Speaking of a Gala, there was also a stage in center of the open space in front of Library and we saw performances by many of our school mates and some professional dancers/singers introducing us to their cultures in a fun way. Spent time from 4:30 PM until 8 PM enjoying the event to its every bit.

Came home only to take a shower and go back to Bo Finn, where many folks from my intake had gathered to have some drinks. This was just a beginning though and a way to pass time until it was time for the official Global Village After-party.

At around 11:45 PM all of us started walking towards the venue. This was a posh discotheque in central Madrid and as many of us had anticipated, there was no entry for people wearing shorts or flip-flops.

While some of us were trying hard to convince the bouncers outside the club, a dramatic incident took place. Two girls walked past us and they succeeded in picking mobile of one of my classmates from her purse. Luckily, she felt a pull and shouted the girls to stop. Soon, there was a mob of around 30 of us surrounding the girls and when someone dialed the number, the mobile was found in pocket of the thief. So, we took it off and sent the girls away.

Anyways, we were not let in the club and it was either all of us inside or nobody inside kinda agreement we had, so we all walked to another discotheque just around the corner and succeeded in getting in.

Enjoyed the drinking and chit-chat with friends until late and came home sometime in the early morning :-)
