The Incredible Shrinking World

AIESECers are everywhere. Sometimes you don't even have to look for them. Like the magical beings they are, they just appear and astound you with their awesomeness.
For example:

1. In Charles de Gaulle, waiting to take off for Cairo after visiting a pretty sweet AIESECer from GT, striking up a conversations with a gentleman from Germany who turned out to have been in AIESEC back in the early 80s. He used his experience in AIESEC to start building a better team relationship in his company, as well as change the way the company interacts with its surrounding community. Bonus fact: he loves AIESEC dancing almost as much as I do.

2. Walking around the streets of Alexandria, I hear somebody yell "Hey AIESEC!" Turns out he was a delegate at the Egypt National Conference I faci'd at, and was forced to figure out the fastest way to get my attention. He then proceeded to ask advice about where he should take his traineeship and offered to drive me around Alexandria and meet his family.

3. At a football match (the real, international version of soccer) for Al-Ahly (the most loved club in Egypt), I met three AIESECers from Madison who also are studying at the American University in Cairo for the semester. Man, those awesome kids are everywhere. They also happen to love Bebot.

And those were all just in the past three weeks. Get out there GT, and you'll see what I mean.
