Cafe Polanyi: A place abundant in questions, dialogue and ideas. 

To my surprise, this morning Pablito set up his own french-style cafe in the back terrace of the college. Coffee shop sounds, French music, colorful flowers and a great service were provided in this almost ideal place. 

I had the pleasure of sharing my morning with Marce, Carmen and Lorena. During the meeting Pablito passed a menu to tell us about the structure of his activity. Everyone was to write down a question on a blank piece of paper (anything you could think of!) and then fold it, mix it and take one out in order to have a dialogue with your group to discuss it. 

Our 4 questions were:

1) How would you rather die? Food poisoned at Cafe Polanyi or in a car accident caused by a naked man in the street. (To give a bit of context many students were joking around the fact that there was a naked man yelling at a tree on the way to the university). This was my question and as dumb as it may sound I thought of asking something somewhat random to see my friend's reactions to ridiculous situations. 

2) Why do people like flowers? We spoke about symmetry, our senses and beauty in nature. 

3) What plans do you have for summer? Marce and Carmen are going to the FEE or Atlas Summit, I didn't quite get it. After returning from this trip Marce wants to travel around Guate  (which is awesome! If I can I'll definitely join her) and start up a small business. Carmen is planning on doing some traveling as well and working and Lore wants to spend some quality time with Fer (her husband) and take time for herself since she's been struggling with her health lately. And me, I'll be going to my cousin's graduation in Stanford this June (I'll finally get to know the university!) and it's also a great experience to spend time with my family on my mothers side. After that I'm planning on shooting some short films, or maybe I'll work on some projects with the New Media department at the University. Going to the World Youth Day is also an option (we'll have to see!) It's definitely going to be an awesome and different time, and a very necessary break. 

Our questions weren't as deep as some of the other tables which were matters like: who are you? However I felt that sharing with them and having a dialogue, really on everyday topics, was a refreshing activity. Café Polanyi was just amazing. We left it set up the rest of the day to receive some clases there. Kudos to Pablito for his organization and dedication. He just raised the bar for the Morning Meetings, we'll see when someone reaches this level again.
