Aloha ?


Just a couple of pictures, it was an absolutely gorgeous afternoon.




But I really did not think it was quite Hawaiian standards, apparently I was wrong!

Steps into the Holy Grail


Apple store is build into Manhattan like Pyramide du Louvre into Paris. Upside down. Underground. Well lit. Its located at the end of Central Park and right in front of FAO Schwarz. Lots of touristy traffic.

Its open 24hours and unless you are a Mac fan its not very spectacular. I am not, so I was impressed with the cleaniness and availability of the toilets. This much for Holy Grail ;)

MBA not Manager ;)


Its done. Its over. Commencement, graduation parties, grades are out... On one hand its really sad that the two years of grad school are over and now I have to join work force again, but on the other hand there is a huge feeling of accomplishment. I have a great GPA (Notendurchschnitt), a great job and an advanced degree. But am so sad to leave New York :(((

I am now just hanging out and going to every party and every concert I can sneak into. Some of my friends are leaving everyday to go home to their respective countries, but most of them are staying to chase the American Dream. (By now I believe that business schools in the States are a two-year attempts to mold any foreign souls into clay that American dreams are made of. They are good at it. I succumbed.)

Anyways, there are some pictures. The ones with Cap&Gown (very very cool American thing) were taken at Madison Square Garden. That's where I had my commencement ceremony (Abschlussrede) with other 3 000 graduates. The other pictures were taken at the graduation party of the smaller Honors MBA Program (~46 people).

Enjoy and make comments!

P.S. First person to recognize what book I am referring to in the title of this blog will receive my used book "How to interview as a Top MBA" signed by me :)))
