One of our tasks for the Closing Seminar of the EF MNP was to bring 1 picture and 1 artifact from our travels... I must admit I haven't done too much thinking about it during the travels and also I am not a big picture takes, neither I feel sentiment about physical things... So what do I have to show & tell...?
At the end it turned out to be easy...
The picture I selected was perfect at the end... I picked a picture of Tesla's Model S prototype taken in the Menlo Park showroom... Yes, I love the car, true, but that is not the main reason I picked this picture... But if you think about it, Tesla cars represent everything that I wanted to explore in the U.S. and everything that is my passion: entrepreneurship, ground-breaking innovation, achievement after overcoming huge obstacles, financing through angels and venture capital... Tesla stands for all of it... Plus, Nikola Tesla was a European... Eastern European... Hallelluyah...
The artifact was a lot more difficult to select, and at the end I had to cheat a bit... For the artifact I selected my Kindle2 device - although I ordered it already from home... But its content actually significantly changed over the time I spent in the U.S. - and I bought many books written by, inspired by and recommended by the people I've met during my fellowship...
