Wrap Up: Vancouver

My year in Vancouver is over... I am just sitting at YVR and waiting for the boarding to my next adventure: Shanghai.
I am looking back to a year full of new impressions, great experiences, many new friends, a lot of academic take aways and even more in sailing. People told me that my life will change during the MBA - and it is true: my life changed quite a bit throughout the year. Many to the good some to worse. But that is probably what change is about. The balance is hopefully positive - the future will tell.

My year ended with a great regatta that our MBA sailing club organized last Saturday. It was the first MBA regatta in Vancouver and has been the only event where the Sauder Business School were hosting another school in a competition. Over 50 sailors were competing for the UBC Sauder MBA Cup. I am a bit proud that we were able to make this event happen. The team work will last as one of the great MBA experiences.



This early morning I was sitting with a Starbucks coffee (some true American culture a the very end) at Kits beach and was enjoying the early sun over Vancouver. I was asking myself - why are you actually leaving this unique and beautiful city? The answer will come up in some weeks.

Keep you updated from Shanghai.
