Aiesec Maracaibo (the organization I came here with) is recruiting. They are having presentations and handing out fliers in the universities and hoping that lots of new and enthusiastic people would join. Or...actually I guess that they don´t want loads of new people instead they want a few "highquality members" who will be motivated and prepared to work. This morning I assisted at one of the presentations. The presentation started at 9.30 and I had to work at 10 so I had to give my contribution (hello, i am Elina from FIN) at the very beginning. It´s not like there were a lot of people there but I think this was the first time I had to speak Spanish in front of a group of strangers. I staggered a bit but I managed to say that my name is Elina, that I come from FInland, that I work at Idiomas Ruge and that everybody should join Aiesec. I think that´s pretty muhc what they wanted me to do. Anyways, I think already the fact that I was there, with my blod hair, buke eyes and foriegn accent was enough to demonstrate internationality and that Aiesec really does function.

I am still saving money for Cumana. One day I remembered that some of my foreign friends in germany saved money eating poatoes. They tried to come up with as many different ways as possible how to prepare potatoes. Potatoes are a nice change to pasta (which I have eaten for 8 months now) and I am pretty excited about my new discovery. And I know that potatoes are muuuuch more nutritious - my new healty life has begun. The down part is that here there are worms in the potatoes. I don´t know why Finnish potatoes don´t have worms. I like to think that maybe here the farming is more organic and therefore the potatoes also have worms. Go figure.
