1031 impressive pitch contest

Had a pitch contest today and after that went to the dinner with team members and then we had a kind of party with my Japanese friends. Home cooker team had won the pitch but I thought it was exactly feasible but not so interesting and innovative in Japan. Either cooked team and smoothies team would won in my expectation. What I amazed the most was the way they presented their plans. They did it very in confident way. Some guy, I think he was from the champion team, started his presentation with great performance. Like “before staring my presentation, could you please close your eyes for a while? And imagine the situation and smell when you were with you mom and she was baking some cookies. How are you feeling right now?”. His performance was amazing. His idea was not so special but very impressive one. 

After the pitch, we went to eat pancake but it was also amazing I meant the size. There are 2 Canadians and 1 American and 2 dutch, and their conversation was very fast and could not catch up with it. I was just smiling and nodding. I managed to understand what they were talking but I could not say something. Umm it is still difficult for me to do conversation with many people in English. And then went to Japanese night, but it was easygoing. I think these days I’m escaping from english. 

Should be more eager to speak English. But anyway I was fortunate to meet with these awesome friends in Leiden. I cannot waste even one night of the rest of my stay in Leiden.
