Amit, Talia's brother came to visit for a week. So we did our best to keep him entertained. He came in on Tuesday, so we had Taco Tuesday night. Mexican food is not very common here in Ireland, and real authentic ingredients are hard to come by. Their sour cream is more like crem fresh. Despite that, we got some taco mix and stuff from Moor Street and Fresh supermarket and Chef Will Kaner, and his su chef Amit cooked up some yummy beef tacos with guacamole and salsa. It was delicious and very filling.
On Thursday night, Talia organized a Smurfit Mixer at the request of other fellow international students. We have appointed ourselves the social chairs of the school, since there the social activities are a bit lacking at the school. Its not like Pepperdine at all, where
we have weekly mixers and events. Apparently all of the students here are super serious, at least the people in the MBA Program. Guess its not as common getting MBA's in Ireland and the students are always studying. Since we don't take the same classes, the Exchange students are kind of left hanging. So we planned to have a mixer at Tonic, a local bar/lounge in Blackrock. We found out later that the school had planned Smurfit Thursdays at Tonic for later that night, so it appeared that w
e went all out for the event. It was fun, we had some drinks and met some cool people and got to know some MBS and other fellow "International" Students. Feels weird to be considered "international." Hopefully we can have a few more fun events and get to know some more UCD students.
