Today we spent most of the day at the University again, but this time we were more familiar with the bus system and the campus. We arrived early to the lecture, so while we were waiting in the hallway, we heard some of the students talking about their examen de titulo and right after, they headed to the pool and cut the boy's tie. We then had a lecture on the general economics of Latin America and compared various statistics such as GDP, inflation, and migration rates of the larger countries in Latin America to Chile. We had lunch again in the school cafeteria and sat amongst the students. Afterwards, we listened to another lecture on Chilean and Latin American business and we had a more informal discussion with Jaime to learn about his perspective on the business and education in Chile. It was very insightful to see his insider view on such topics as an adult in Chile rather than a student perspective because he has seen more of the world from his travels and could explain concepts more easily. We also did our presentations for Werner and Jaime who gave us some feedback. For the mushroom company that we researched, we were informed about the soil that the mushrooms are grown in, which we are not looking forward to its smell. After returning to the hotel, we went to the super market for the first time and walked through to see the things that it carried. We noticed that it carried some of the same things such as cereal brands and it was interesting to see all of the Centauro canned merchandise as we are going to visit and learn about Centauro tomorrow. Overall, I had the opportunity to get more comfortable with the University today and had the opportunity to further use my spanish skills.
