times flies when you fly places

my camera makes the national paper in cuba

i was sent to south africa to represent my school at a student conference, it was an interesting endeavor to say the least. they also put me on TV. oh i'm alive, so is the blog, and hopefully in the coming year i'll be on top of updates (internet stocks became low priority while education stocks soared).

tv interviews!

paz sin fronteras

Colombian singer Juanes came to Cuba and put forth a big old concert with number of other international stars in the Plaza de la Revolución, well over a million people were in attendance, school even hooked up free buses out there. Good times.

the stage from where i was sitting (standing for 4 hours? pass)

shout out to my chilean friends. flags of all nations were flying

a room with a view

every day when i wake up and lift my head this is what i see: 

other side of the hallway is the ocean view kind of blocked by another dorm.

currently living with uruguayans and brazilians. estou falando muito portugues.

a ton of new delegations have arrived at the school as well, some 20+ new countries are now being represented from as close as the Caribbean, to as far as the South Pacific, countries I've never even heard of. It's going to be a good year.
