June 29th 2005
Jens and I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all your passion and commitment. Thank you for creating beautiful memories that will stick with us forever.
The day started at 9am, although predictably we knew that you all wouldn't arrive till 10. We were right :p
And then we told you the entire day would be spend infront the camera, I have never seen Amy and Yvonne so stunned.
A few challenges from the day.
The post challenge
Go to post office and ask for a 5 cents stamp and get a receipt for it.
Ask whether a letter would reach the AIESEC office with that.
Opps we forgot that you couldn't film in a postoffice
Solution
Team 1: Place camera in handbag and hide it from security guards
Team 2: Bargain with postoffice staff and only film hands
Would a letter reach the AIESEC office for 5 cents?
Answer: Unfortunatly no, not even if the AIESEC office is in the city.
A truly AIESEC Reception
Go to warehouse and buy a reception pack for $3
Have a reception at the ferry building and ask their "intern" (a passenger) how their overseas experience was?
How did the two teams manage to get the same "intern" even though they arrived at the ferry building at different times is beyond me. What a lucky "intern" recieving x2 NZ newsletters, x2 infomation booklets, x2 NZ flags and x2 warehouse bags.
AIESEC Auckland wins the boat races again!
Have a boat race with soft drinks/beer in an Asian food place
Follow official boat race rules: “Thumbs on the table, face the vessel, ROW”
Boat race teams has to consist of at least two people (number of people in each team has to be the same)
You get bonus points if you have non AIESEC people joining.
Team 1 vs 2 corporates in suits
Team 2 vs Irish tourists (poor Iva, wasn't even half way through her vessel, when the Irish team had already finished)
Also included in the footage was
An AWESOME promo video starring the guy from Studio 2 and the guy who eats the deli roll in the McDonald's ad. Go Celebrity endorsement!
And who could forget an episode from "The days of AIESEC"
Michael's sordid love affair met by Ariel's half a dozen bitch slaps. (never cross Ariel, that cute face can be decieving)
While everyone filmed, Jens and I slaved over a hot kitchen to cook dinner. We produced a gourmet dinner of wheat salad, rice and noodles (Carbohydrates is very good for you). And our famous chocolate cake made out of 1000 grams of milo powder and half a bottle of cadbury's HOT fudge sauce. Mmmm.
