My name is Ilona (better call me Ilonka, please:), but most of my friends call me Babca (means granny) even I am usualy the youngest among all. Last 5 years I spent in Pardubice studying at the University Pardubice (hope once I will also graduate when I pass statistics...). While studying I was also a member of AIESEC. My first work experience was Foxconn company... For more you can read this web:)

preparation

Dears,

I never thought what preparation is needed for a trip to a country like China - vaccination, family doctor, dentist...
... yesterday I was at the dentist. I knew that there is something with one tooth, but I didn't expect to be there 1 hour - AU :(. Well, tomorrow I need to go again to get checked the situation. If I don't need to go to a dentist in China still all these is OK :)

Good thing is that I have already bought a suitcase, bad thing is that the amount of clothes is almost 3 times more than the size of suitcase (even I took one of the largest ones...). After a short thinking I decided not to buy a new additional suitcase, but to decrease the amount of clothing... let's see!

Today I got all contacts of my friends in the plant in LongHua in China - I am soooo much looking forward to meet them all. I never thought I would meet them again :)
Also I am getting ready to leave our flat in Pardubice. There will be my friend Petra instead of me for these few months. With my flat-mates Madli, Lena and Jarousek I understand how important is to have great people around me. I know I will miss our evening talks, eating pizza, drinking Sangria and neverending washing dishes:), but I am sure that they will stay in my life even being far away as they are so close to my heart!

Well my preparations at work are almost finished - my training is going fine thanks to the people I can learn from, what I am still waiting for are approved documents about the business trip, so I am not still sure when I will fly, but that's one of the things we need to count with and being flexible - also one the good things I have learnt in AIESEC :)

So, time to go for a fast lunch with my nice friend from China - Amy, who is also the source of information for me to make the preparation easier. I am very happy that she is here now! Also is helping me to overcome my worries - I know I have spent long time in AIESEC and have learnt a lots about other cultures, but still there is something in my mind... :)

Guys, have a nice day and stay in touch :)
