Scribbles

Haven't posted about the national weeks for a while now, thought I'd drop a note about this past week, where our Latin American friends put together a festive week, in the buoyant, easy-going spirit that they always carry themselves with.  Last night I had the pleasure of helping out a little bit in the making of the Caipirinhas for the party.  The party was cozy, in the sense that many people are either traveling, studying, or national week partied out.  But for those who did show up, they brought their party hats for the Carnival theme party.  I was doing well, sipping on the Caipirinhas all night until the Tequila girls found me, and introduced me to some memory-effacing straight-from-the-bottle pours.  Funny how I thought I was well behaved until my buddy help me reconstruct those lost memories.  I managed to stick around afterwards for the cleanup, and really enjoyed the camaradery of the gang, sharing in their joy that they put together a wonderful week for the INSEAD community.  Gracias, obrigado!
