On 22 November I turned 29. Funnily enough, one of my classmates, who is also German, also works for BCG, and also has a hyphenated first name, was born on the same day (although one year earlier), so we decided to join forces to organize a birthday party. This party was definitely more of the unusual kind (although I take little credit for that, since it was mostly my classmate’s idea): We organized a treasure hunt. Four teams of 5-8 people met in an apartment here at Heritage, had a few drinks, and then set off along one of two routes. Along the way to an undisclosed final location, they had to fulfill challenging and fun tasks such as finding things, taking pictures of strangers doing certain things, and making fools out of themselves. After about two hours of hunting, everyone eventually made their way to Boat Quay, where we had a separate room in a bar to finish the night and look at all the hilarious pictures. All in all, it was a really fun event, and certainly a unique birthday for me!
