Day 9: Futbol y Presentaciones

May 14, 2012

Buenos dias! Today we had our very last lectures here at the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (so sad). The lecture began with each of our groups doing their presentations in front of all of us students and our business professor, Jaime. The presentations went really well, as all of our groups put a lot of work into their presentations in order to show the Chileans how interested we are in their companies. Jaime asked us a lot of questions, and we were all mostly prepared to answer them (until he asked the wine group about specific Chilean grapes). But the rest of the lecture was really informative, as we really got good insight into several major Chilean programs, such as the hydroelectric power plants and the health care system. After our last lunch at the university (also so sad), we came back to the hotel for a while, and then headed out again to play more soccer. Soccer was so fun, us Americans were mixed in with a group of 6 Chilean guys that were there, and we split up into three teams and just rotated games. It was a great time, and a great workout too! I may have played like 15 games in a row just rotating teams, I was dead tired by the end. After that, Nick and I hit the gym for a good workout, and then a group of us grabbed empanadas for dinner. Since then, we've just been chilling, and now we are preparing to head out. Its Monday night, and that means karaoke night!

Soccer with the Chileans

Fun fact of the day: Chilean McDonald's are ridiculously expensive (a snack wrap costs over $4.00) and have terrible service

Hasta maƱana,
Christian
