London Day 2

I joined Richard to work on his group case study for his applied corporate finance course, where I met his group partners, and worked on the UST tobacco company case.  The case study illustrates how to determine optimal capital structure and financial analysis.  The group mates from India recommended places I should go, and supported my idea of joining Palace on Wheels for a tour of New Dehli and Arga.  We hangout at the LSE dorm lounge for a while after concluding the case project then proceed to a group dinner with Richard’s classmates friends at an Indian restaurant.  Alek, a dear friend I met together with Richard in summer session joined us for dinner; he is enrolled in the Ph.d program at Imperial in Finance and also working part time in the industry.  Alek, Richard and I remain in touch since 2005 summer; now they are giving me great advice on my application to some UK schools finance programs. For dinner, Richard and I shared lamb, chicken, and spinach dishes; I had a mango yogurt drink. After a rather confusing settlement with the bill, Alek, Richard and I had a night out; we started our night at a Lechester Square bar, where I  downed two cups of belgium  Leffe beer  (6.6%) on the high recommendation of Alek.  I have a very low tolerance for alcohol and generally prefer not to drink because I am allergic; but a great reunion calls for immoderate drinking.  Although we had to call it a night because the tube closes early, but I had so much fun tonight.   I am so thrilled to have our summer school reunion, 2 years flies by but we are all very well!!  Its absolute the best Saturday I have had so far!
