Last weekend, the 26th and 27th of April, was the fifth case study weekend. During this weekend a lot of work was done on all of the cases, but the most notable event of the weekend has to be the SPOCK Reunion. On the Saturday evening we were joined by members of earlier editions of the SPOCK study tour, who organized trips to other countries like Japan and the USA. During the dinner and afterwards during the reunion party they talked about their experiences during their own trips abroad and the cases they did.
During the Chinese dinner the conversations mostly consisted of tips and tricks for the planning and cases, where they looked at some of the problems of our own cases and came up with some original ideas to help us. After dinner the reunion party started, where the conversations started to be about their own experiences and memories about the tours. These were stories about for example funny things they saw, interesting differences in culture and the shortest case ever done by a study tour (an answer to the case was found in less than 15 minutes).
