2 days of adaptative depression and then - back to AIESEC. I felt it would help me to feel life in this small town - comparing to everything I've seen during 2 months in China - and it really did. I came to LCM (meeting we have every Friday) and heard news about our projects. I also presented my experience of internship, but for me it was more exciting to hear how 28(!!! in our NOT TOURIST town) interns from all over the world spent THEIR time in OUR summer camps - real ones.
I smiled. In fact, it seemed all of them had quite challenging time. I heard there was one intern left for some time in Lugansk from Germany and he needs "buddy".
I didn't think twice: I said I want to be his buddy. In fact, I regreted about this decision - it means I will have to miss some of my classes during first 2 weeks, but I really wanted to help at least the last intern here, haha. I became SO sensitive to such things.)
I met him at the railway station when our new President in AIESEC - and my good friend and ex-leader of the project I took part - Rita was seeing off Egyptian intern and German's friend. Basically, the intern was complaining about the project and asking Rita whether he should say all this stuff to his Local Committee or leave here, because he didn't want Rita personally to have problem. From this moment I saw ME in this guy from Egypt and I wanted to talk to him. I managed to make a new friend in 30 minutes (time left before the train left) - and he spoke so positively in the end!=)
But since that - Chris, 22 years old German student - is in my life. Literally, we've already spent good amount of time and for almost 2 weeks - we'll spend some more.) He is cool:
And really open-minded and flexible. He is so communicative that he even managed to make my friends girls actually TALK in Enlgish. Before that they were afraid to speak fluently with foreigners (I offered them to practice English with our 2 Indonesian interns in the past), and afraid to talk to Christof too. But he is too charming, too easy-going and too talkative. Now, most of my friends - his friends too.)
