Cool trip- thanks for the feedback! The poverty and extremes in the haves/have nots in developing countries puts a lot in perspective for me.
What was the program for? Got pics (oops, just saw the link..)? It's a business program at Thnderbird, an international business school out here in Glendale AZ. It's kicking my butt, working full-time, going to school and still trying to be a good dad. Forum time is severely limited haha. That's a lot! I did grad school while working full time- but with no family- can't imagine! Sounds cool though. I would love to go international. Made it to final interviews with Dept of State 1.5 months ago and came up short. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> That was attempt #2, first time I missed it by a hair- I took a beating this time. Go figure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Ron, I would say that you are doing a pretty good job of it though. And just think of all the stories you can make up er ah I mean tell! And it does kind of give one a certain perspective on our way of life doesn't it. What did your wife think, seeing something like this for the first time? It took a few days for my wife settle in. She actually did quite well all in all. She loves animals so seeing all the animals wandering about without homes was a bit tough for her. She definitely has a better appreciation for the USA now. Its tough to explain to someone how fortunate they are when they dont know misery.

I figured if I did not go back for an MBA now, I never would.
