Improbability reached maximum level…

Okay! You are totally crazy, but at least funny! That would be my answer, if somebody from my university had prophesied to me the following scene one year ago.

„I was boating to a small village hidden in the malaysian jungle with my norwegian fellow, full of great experiences (and full of the weirdest dishes I had ever had in my life), reloaded with energy, relaxing, staring back at curious monkeys staring at us from palm trees. Suddenly I spot a base station hidden in the forest. After checking my phone to make sure that the network was operated by Digi, I slipped back the phone in my pocket, and I started to guess what kind of radio transmission tools are installed on the tower. Huh. At that moment I felt, that the situation was such an extremely improbable thing, that i started to laugh, and wonder, what am I going to do next year. After this, I won’t be surprised at anything… :-)

Talk and relax
Driving on the winding roads of Malaysia, passing by the calm, and mighty green palm forests with our car, enjoying the bluish, greenish, yellowish harmony of colours was far the most perfect way to refresh ourselves after the Global Trainee Seminar in KL. After meeting some Yellow Coverage Fellows at Digi headquaters, and getting to know a little bit about the „Digi way of thinking” we had a kick off talk with our consultants, as an opening ceremony of the following 3 days. 3 days of talking, talking and even more talking. Probably we couldn’t answer the ultimate question about the meaning of life (or maybe we did, but we did not noticed it), but I think we could utilize many toughts, ideas and opinions told by the others or by ourselves.

Malaysia - a special cocktail
I am just sharing quickly my first impression about the country, because I would like to write a little bit more about Malaysia later. So, it is a colourful, refreshing and extremely delicious cocktail served by really, really nice people (a drink with a taste similar to the world famous „Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster”). Anyway, the country’s multicultural atmosphere was extremely interesting and inspiring for me. By the way, some of the trainees can experience this atmosphere in the next phase of the program, as it turned out after we got to know more details about our outplacements. For sure, that I will try a comletely different but very promising cocktail in April, which is best served cold. Guess what! :-)
