Through the Eyes of Juan

This is a video of Juan. It was taken the last day of school and gives me an idea of what it is like to see the world through Juans eyes. He seems be at rear level for a lot of people. Please notice the Star Wars impersonation he does as Darth Vader, also notice the close up of his belly button that you see at the end. If you get motion sick from this movie, blame Juan, not me.

I believe a fine time was had by all, but the general consensus is that we all want to take off and to start teaching, or we all want to scrap the whole Jan term thing and just take off for Patagonia and the surrounding area. I don't know if Peggy, my adviser, realizes the fact that if we went to Patagonia we would be in MULTIPLE cultures. MULTIPLE!!!!! Think about that. Our DMIS scores would go through the roof by the time that we got back from Patagonia. Going to Antofagasta will only immerse us in a single culture and put us in contact with a select group of people. If we go to Patagonia, and maybe trek through the highlands and mountains, we would be running into MULTIPLE cultures and MULTIPLE groups of people. Every single village we met ...
