Title goes here

The first interview for our business project was with the director of "banque de detail" of Caisse d'Epargne. It was quite a disappointment, we dressed up and dragged our asses all over to the east side of Paris just to hear very general stuff, no concrete things. We didn't come back before 9, meaning that I almost entirely missed a great picnic down by the lake. It was quite fun, lots of people, they were grilling chicken (I have to show them how to do that, it was terribly burnt;-) and eating and drinking loads, there was even a brass band.
Waking up after the obligatory party, we had another interview, this time with director of strategy for the biggest French bank, Credit Agricole. This one went a lot better. The guy was extremely nice (maybe because he was an HEC alumni), gave us lots of info...we took two hours of his time!
Then it was time to meet Nakli at Montparnasse, enjoy the sunshine a bit and go back to the campus on time to have dinner. We watched Scrubs afterwards in the MBA building till 2 p.m.
I had to work on Saturday so Nakli went to Paris alone. I was preparing for a presentation for the director of EDS that we have on wednesday. I joined Nakli at 11 at Chatelet and we went straight to a party HEC was organising near Cambronne in the 15th. Domenico was there as well, it was great to see him again! He left at around 2, Nakli and I stayed until 5.














There was a crazy saxophone improvisator, a weird sight but very enjoyable;-)


We walked back to Domenico's place - it took us an hour to get to the Grande Arche. But it was cool to see Paris without any traffic or people, the Eiffel tower completely deserted, Trocadero empty, the boulevards empty...
Waking up at 11 on Sunday, we bought breakfast at an outside market (fresh baguettes,camembert,fruit,coffee), ate it and went to visit some museums. The first one was Marmotan, where they have a big collection of Monet among other things. We thought it would be free since it was the first Sunday in the month (all the museums are free), but this one was a private museum, so we had to pay. It was well worth it though. Afterwards we just walked around, profiting from the beautiful weather. We wanted to see Musee de Rodin, but we decided to visit the Eiffel tower instead. For 3EUR, we walked to the second floor. We wanted to go the 3rd floor, but the line was enormous, a 45 minute wait at least. So we did the natural thing: as people were getting out of the elevator that brought them down from the 3rd floor, we quickly stepped in before the cabin filled up with people entering from the other side of the elevator."We forgot our cameras up there!" was enough to convince the elevator-lady not to throw us out. She didn't even check the ticket, which we didn't have of course;-)... The view was amazing, it was a nice and sunny day...
By the time we were done, it was already time to head back. We came back 1 minute before the student restaurant closed. We were extremely hungry, so we ate like pigs. It's easy here, for 2.87 u get 4 courses...:-) Other than hungry, we were tired and we stank like hell, so after the necessary shower we watched some movies and had some beer before going to bed.
And here I am today. Nakli left in the morning, he's already in Lyon. I'm working on my Energy&Finance assignment. Back to work again.
