Amritsar This Weekend?


Hey guys,

Maddie and I just came back from the Aiesec Conference in Delhi. Apparently there are a lot of trainees in Delhi. We did have discussions about Aiesec India and stuff and we realised that this issue does not occur only in Chandigarh. We have raised issues on reception and interaction between Aiesec India and the trainees. The trainees in Delhi was a really fun bunch. We had alot of booze and stuff. But the sessions in the conference were pretty bad. Basically, most trainees are not satisfied which they way AIESEC India is run here. So practically trainees had their own party at the conference and the Aiesecers in India had their own fun by themselves as well.

Maddie and I are planning to go to Amritsar this weekend. So I'm just wondering if anyone is interested to go there. We will be going to Amritsar then we will heat to Attari which is just an hour plus from Amritsar. Some other trainees from Gurgaon (Some place near Delhi) might be joining us as well.

Do let me know if u guys wanna go to Amritsar this weekend k?
My contact is 9876868839.
Does anyone have facebook? Maybe we cankeep in touch which that.

Cheers,
Cathy

we are planning to travel by bus on saturday early morning.. sector 43 chd.. and then we can stay overnight at the temple.. then maybe we go to the market (which is pretty famous and stuff I guess) the next day.
After that we will travel to Attari in the evening to watch the Indians and Pakistani soldiers giving respect and stuff to each regiments at the border..
Then, maybe we will travel bach to Chd from Attari.

yea..we have to get back by monday morning too.. bus ride to amritsar takes around 5hours..
anyway,i heard that tifanny and u guys will be goin to shimla this weekend..
i have asked femke about the journey to amritsar and stuff since she has been there before. Apparently, she did not reserve any bus tickets before she goes.. so Im wondering if we should take on the safe side and reserve the tickets.. If thats the case then I will need to know how many ppl will be going and stuff..

So I asked in the Trainee House and the following persons will come with us:

- Caitlin
- Jaspreet
- Leonie
- Me

Leonie said that we don't have to reserve tickets, but maybe if it doesn't cost anything ... why not. Then we have definitely a nice place ;-)

hey good news.. 4 of u and 5 of us..
our friend from educare says he will settle transportation for us.. we will rent a taxi.. approximately 500 rs inclusive of to and fro amritsar and from amritsar to attari as well.. i think its a pretty good deal.. so wat do u think?
but one setback is that only 9 of us can go as there is limited places in the taxi (i think its a four wheel drive which fits only 9 person)

Sounds great ... sounds maybe a bit too greath ;-)

I will tell the others this evening, but I guess they are ok with it ;-)
