The Sport of Kings

Today was a most excellent day to be an employee of Deloitte.

It started quite early with my first meeting with the Argentine consulting team. I'm going to be working on a part time basis with the firm here in Buenos Aires, focusing mainly on firm strategy (I'll spare you the boring details, but it's quite exciting for me).

Anyway, my hosts in Deloitte were exceptionally gracious in inviting me along to a Deloitte-sponsored polo match this afternoon.

There's a massive international finance conference going on right now in Buenos Aires and my colleagues came up with the great idea that Deloitte should sponsor a polo match and invite a group of clients and targets as a 'cultural' event since most of them are not from Argentina.

Though the weather wasn't perfect, the day was exceptionally fun! The rain held off until after the match where we proceeded to a wine tasting activity and a chance to chat with the other delegates. I had the chance to practice my spanish, which is always good, and always humbling.
