Presentations and Futbol


Today was our last day at the university and we shared our presentations with Jaime who was so knowledgeable about all of our topics. We heard about LAN airlines and Vina Indomita, which we have already visited. And then we learned about Centauros, HELA, and Bosques del Mauco (my group’s presentation), which we will be seeing tomorrow. Jaime had a lot of great information to share with each group about our companies and it was great to hear the presentations again in Chile because it is more relevant than when we heard them in Pittsburgh. I can’t wait to visit each company and be able to see how they produce what we’ve learned about.
After we said goodbye to Jaime and thanked him for sharing his knowledge with us, we went to the mall for lunch before we played futbol against the Chilean students. I got a fajita from the food court. Most of the food was the same in the food court there as it would be at home. They had a burger king and McDonalds. The only thing I noticed that was different was that they put guacamole on almost everything, including burgers.
When everyone was done eating, we walked over to the soccer fields which overlooked the mountains and Vina and we played soccer with the Chileans on four different teams. They were all such good players! I think they were taking it easy on us, but they were still so incredible. Futbol is definitely a big part of all of their lives and it was so exciting to see them play in their element.
