The beginning of the end

There are more and more signs of the fact that the IMD bubble eventually is going to burst. Today Regula from the MBA Office took us through the different procedures for exiting Switzerland, canceling insurances and leaving our apartments.
Regula and the rest of the MBA Office are the grease that keeps the MBA machine running. Everyday they fix dozens of small and large practical problems. They handle everything from a grumpy landlord to an unclear phone bill with a smile. They made sure that everything went well when we entered Switzerland and IMD and they are now helping us through the door in the other end.



Today was the day for the monthly partner lunch and the partners also joined the 'Exit IMD' session with Regula. Here Henry's wife Kelly [Singapore] is here learning how to do an apartment exit the Swiss way.


Rasmus [Norway] has all year been collecting quotes for the yearbook. Today he became yearbook material himself when expressing his concern about the excessive cleanliness of the apartments that is required upon departure: 'If there is one thing I have learned about Switzerland, then it is that it is all about......spots!'. Who can argue with that? :-)




The graduation party committee has started their work and Joost, Karim and Wouter presented the initial work. Judging from the hats it can only be a blast! :-)
