Mentors and Weddings

On Friday afternoon Namiko and I met with Igor and his wife Hada. Igor is a current MBA student and had volunteered to be a mentor... he got me. We agreed to meet at a local family restaurant/pub and then proceeded to spend a hour and a half discussing everything from Oxford parties to consulting.

It was great to meet a married couple who had lived the 'Oxford Experience' together. Prior to the meet, I was a little concerned that Namiko would not be able to join in with any of the university organised events. However, within the first few minutes of the discussion all of my fears were eliminated. It seems that they both had a great time and participated in most things together (except the studying that is).

I hope that I will be able to offer the same amount of advice when I am the mentor...

The Wedding

Seeing as the blog has now slightly deviated (in that it included some 'non MBA' content), I thought that I would write about a wedding party that Namiko and I attended on Saturday night.

The event was held at Homme House, which is a lovely setting and is still a family home which stands in 100 acres of parkland and 80 acres of woodlandand. It is situated in Much Marcle, near Ledbury.

The party went off 'swimmingly' and we had a great time.

To top the whole evening off, a rather large cow decided to stand in our path as we were leaving the venue (we eventually had to go off road as it decided that it was not going to move)
