Today we began bright and early with the same hotel breakfast. After eating, we had our lecture on Business in Chile. We promptly began as conflicts caused us to begin a little late. This highly qualified professor, has traveled all around the world, including Pittsburgh. His global awareness of business allows me to see that the more experience and awareness we have abroad the more overall knowledgeable and successful we can be for business. This was seen clearly because he could speak on any topic with great detail and was very informative. We soon had our lunch break in the same cafeteria as the previous day. Again, it felt good to feel welcome in a completely different atmosphere than I have ever experienced. The people I sat with started to talk to me in Spanish and I soon began to feel a little more confident speaking to the Chileans in Spanish. I ended up sharing my food with my neighbor before leaving to head to the next lecture on Chilean business.
The business professor was more engaging this time because he knew it had been a rather long two days for us and wanted our input of what we were thinking. This professor could also answer our wide variety of questions and improved our understanding of Chilean business, South American business, and business in general. After the time consuming and engaging lecture we took a brief break before our Company presentations. Since we had done them before, they all generally went well because I knew what I was going to say and how I was going to say it without looking at the slides too much. In addition the business professor asked questions to each of the groups and further increased our understanding of the company and the product. Finally to end the day we had our energetic Reggeaton class. The music was upbeat and the instructed showed no shame in showing us all of the various promiscuous dance moves. Another great way to end the day.
