本日（12月5日）、INSEADのクリスマスパーティに参加してきた。10月のQS World MBA TourのINSEADブースでお会いしたINSEAD卒業生に招待されたため。
場所はTokyo American Clubで中々豪華な雰囲気だった。約110名のINSEAD卒業生やアプリカントが集まり、外国籍の方も半分くらいいた。
20名くらいの方と挨拶し、名刺交換をして、有意義なネットワーキングができた。中には50代、60代の方もおり、大手企業の社長や役員の方もいたが、みな気さくで気軽に声をかけてくれたりしたので、あまり知り合いがいなかったにもかかわらず楽しむことができた。
INSEADは志望校の1つとして考えていたが、本日のパーティに参加して、INSEADのカルチャーが自分にフィットしているなぁと感じることができ、INSEADへの志望度が強まった。

Today (5th of December), I attended the INSEAD Christmas Party because I was invited by an alumna of INSEAD whom I met at an INSEAD booth in QS World MBA Tour in October.
The venue was Tokyo American Club where it is gorgeous. There were about 110 people of INSEAD alumni and applicants and about half of them were Non-Japanese.
I talked with about 20 people and exchanged business cards with them. Thus, I felt I did fruitful networking. Some of them were at age 50s or 60s and some of them were CEOs or executive officers. They were all frank and gave me some greeting. Therefore, I enjoyed the party although there were few acquaintances.
I was thinking that INSEAD is one of my preferred school. The participation in the party made me feel a culture fit in INSEAD. Thus, I got a strong motivation for applying for INSEAD.
