A 1 mês de começar o MBA...

Falta exactamente 1 mês para começar o meu MBA no INSEAD, que começa no dia 30 de Agosto.
O MBA para mim começa no campus de Singapura, onde já estive de visita. O campus é novo e moderno, bastante mais pequeno que o de Fontainebleau, mas com todas as condições para o estudo do MBA e para a vida dos estudantes no dia-a-dia. A cantina pareceu-me ser boa, mas se algum dia me fartar, tenho sempre como alternativa o food court no edifício ao lado, um centro comercial chamado Fusionopolis.

Decidi dedicar este mês para estar com a minha família em Leiria. Já fiz algumas (demasiadas) viagens a Lisboa para tratar de alguns assuntos que ainda tinha pendentes. Mas conto estar a maioria do tempo por Leiria, a descansar com a família e a ganhar energias para um intenso e fantástico ano que tenho pela frente!

Asia

I travelled for 3 months in Asia. It was my first time in this continent and I can say that I really enjoyed it!
It was a very positive surprise in terms of the development in all the countries compared to other parts of the world. In terms of culture, my idea is different from country to country, in some countries their good values are still so strong that one can find himself in a idealistic world while in some other countries I was counting the days to leave it and go to the next one. All in all, it was a very interesting experience, because now I can say where I want to go again and where I don't intend to go again at all!
I could (maybe should) expose my impressions in every of the countries I visited, but I will keep that to me. It's a very personal impression that might not be welcome to all my readers.

So, after being in Dubai, Hong Kong, Macau, China, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Laos, Indonesia and Malaysia for 3 months, now I look forward for the time at INSEAD and all the trips I'm sure people will organize! Thailand, Cambodja, Vietnam and so on are waiting for us!!!
