What's your name again?<\/h2>

Your group, guides, organisers, random drunk fellow students at a party\u2026 you meet lots of new people during Eurekaweek. And so many names in a short time can sometimes be tricky. Nothing is more uncomfortable than exploring the city or singing karaoke songs after hours together, and not remembering someone\u2019s name. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s best to rip the band-aid off as soon as possible. Better to ask someone\u2019s name again after 15 minutes than after a few days. Should you still find that uncomfortable, you can also go for the old \u2018what\u2019s your name again?\u2019. And when the answer comes, you just say: \u2018No, I mean your surname\u2019.<\/p>\n

The hangover always comes later<\/h2>\n\t
