LANS Visit and more dancing


Today was a really long day; I woke up in in the morning around 7:30 and didn’t sleep until around 3! Anyway, our day started out with another long lecture, though this one was more interesting and interactive than yesterday’s—so most of us actually stayed awake! We covered more points about the culture of Chile. After the lecture, we headed down to the cafeteria for some more Chilean university food! After lunch, we all got onto the bus and rode an hour or so down to Santiago again to visit LANS. LANS is currently one of the largest air carriers in the world, and the largest in South America. This was the company I had to research and give a presentation on, so I was excited to visit them and get some more information about the company. However, the visit was nothing more than a random employee, speaking broken English, giving us a tour of the website. His presentation lasted very long, and was accompanied with an even longer Q & A session. Most of the questions asked weren’t even relevant to the company. So, needless to say, I really didn’t gain all that much from the visit. Also, we were told that the kids from last year were given a tour of the tarmac and the cabin of one of their planes! All we got was a tour of a website and about a half hour of waiting in the lobby. Anyways, after the visit we got back onto the bus and found our way back to the university where we were taught our last Salsa lesson! Salsa was easier than Rigitone, in terms of physical activity but the steps and moves were quite difficult than the first day’s lesson.  After that we got back to the hotel and got some dinner and now I’m blogging about all the day’s activities.
