What is it like to be an admitted student, waiting for school to start?
Well, first you find classmates are all enormously helpful and committed to finding you a place to live. One classmate took pictures of all the apartments he checked out and sent me a link to all his photos. Another wrote an entire packet of available apartments in the area and handed them to us at MIT Open House. I found a posting on the LGO Facebook group for a summer sublet by a fellow Sloan classmate - and we arranged everything through Skype and email. Gotta love modern technology!
The second thing you find is everyone is traveling somewhere. People are looking to meet up in exciting cities in Asia, Europe, Africa...you name it.
LGO starts earlier than the rest of Sloan - first day of class for us is June 3rd. I took that as a sign that it just means I had to leave earlier! So I took off for Frankfurt at 7:30am the Saturday after my last day of work, and here are some pics!
I started off my trip in Frankfurt, with my good friend Weanna Chow from my P&G days. We checked out the main square with the traditional German buildings - so beautiful!
We went to Wagner and had their traditional German fare, including Apfelwein (apple wine), and the monstrosity shown on right, called knuckle of pork, which was surprisingly very delicious.
Notice these weird trees - apparently they were popularized by Van Gogh's paintings and now they are everywhere here.
We then took the train to Cologne and had beer at Fruh, which was a really light, crisp, refreshing beer, almost as light as water.
Back on the train to Dusseldorf, home to the "longest bar"and Fruh's rival, Zum Schlussel. Another delicious beer.
If you ever go to Dusseldorf, don't miss this beautiful view here, esp breathtaking at sunset!
Next stop: the Netherlands! Went to Utrecht and then to Delft. Delft is known for their beautiful blue porcelain.
Catching some zzz's on the train to Amsterdam...and doing the must-do touristy thing - pictures with the giant "I amsterdam" sign.
Now I feel sufficiently refreshed and energized. B school, here I come!
