Fellow Students

When I first got here I thought the other students were a bunch of rich kids using their parents wealth to travel. This is not the case. In fact it is far from the case. One guy is/was an Investment Banker in New Yory. He looked to be maybe 28 yrs old. He made a shit load of money now he decided to take 6 months off to travel and learn Spanish. After this he is attending the Kellogg Business College in Chicago for his masters degree which will take two yrs. Another guy from London is an Investment Fund Manager. A guy from Australia has a dad who is somekind of governmental diplomat in Tialand and he wanted to work for Greepeace but now he changed his mind and he wants to work for a government agency that promotes energy conservation. As part of what he wants to do he needs to speak Spanish. Another kid just 22 yrs old from Germany speaks some Spanish, Russian, German, and Italian. He is finishing his Masters thesis in Spain for six months. One girl is a teacher and since they have summer break she is here to learn Spanish which she wants to teach to her students in Holland when she returns. Nice folks, hard working, educated people.
