Seeing that it's a book, why don't you ask your local library to borrow it for you via interlibrary loan. OR You could buy it online; like the Amazon link below.

SPAIN OR LATIN AMERICA?

SPAIN OR LATIN AMERICA?
ok.... i've got plenty of time to decide...but just a general idea of what to expect from both of these countries/regions i study history & culture & spanish and will be going as part of my degree i've heard plenty of horror stories about central & south America... but being a young lady quite into her reggaeton & caribbean vibes i feel i would be missing out if i went to spain. here are MY own pros & cons.... please add to if you know any it will help me get a realistic picture and make a better descision! Spain pros: closer to home & within the EU moorish influence (history) varied climate safe cheaper, inc travel cons: no reggaeton :-( is good for history...but not as much as Latin Am LA pros: reggaeton! :-) history history history spanish spanish spanish beaches beaches beaches hot hot hot CONS: SAFE????? far from home cost of travel to and from UK healthcare HMMMM descisions descisions......... I'm thinking maybe Cartagena in Colombia as its a. on the coast b. student area c. good schools (Nueva Lengua) d. relatively safe compared to the Colombian interior. what is a realistic picture of safety in Colombia?? Im not gonna be walking around with a camera dangling from my neck, or dripping in jewelry. If i do say so myself, i could (maybe) pass as a Colombian. or Southern Spain.... but havent delved into that yet. What do you think kids?????? All info welcome :-) SORRY forgot to add DONT want to be overwhelmed by tourists like myself. Some are ok but if its anything like Oxford Circus on a Friday at 6pm, don't bother SORRY AGAIN! lol part of my studies includes the Afro-influence to these regions...... does Cartagena have a prominent Afro influence?? any other LA countries???

it's really your decision i'll just add to your pros and cons about latin america. LATIN AMERICA has adventure written all over it. Any where you go in Latin America has it's own vibe but everyone of them are nice. You can learn about their history and learn in more depth about Spain in America and how they screwed everything up. You can enjoy perfect weather depending on where you go (Guatemala has the best weather ever). Also..the beaches? CONS CONS CONS: you gotta realize latin america is run by drug trafficking. mara salvatrucha, the 18th street, north hollywood...these gangs run these countries. and they're very messed up they like to sever people and they're not scared to do anything. and trust me they can tell if you're a tourist or not..and last time i checked tourists have money. also, don't expect everything to be as modern as spain.

Latin america of course but I prefer both europe and america ---- it will be a nice idea cartagena yes have afro culture but if you go to the capital Bogota Dc experience the spanish and european herence and modernity go to other cities

what can i say to him?


what can i say to him?
okay, so there's this exchange student in some of my classes from Colombia, his name is Juan, and he's really cute (my friends and i kinda think i might have a crush). I'm really trying to get my self up to introduce myself to him and talk to him, but what can i say to him specifically? school's been in four like 5 days now, and he hasn't made any friends except for an indian exchange student also in our class. the only day i can talk to him this week would be tomorrow (thursday). i'm not a very out going person and i've got nothing that is interesting enough to say, but i want something that could keep up conversation... by the looks of it, he doesn't talk to much either. If you could help that would be greatly appreciated! thanks, LindsayFelipe

Just go up to him and say, "Hi! I'm Lindsay." (: I'm sure it'll be easy from there.
2 :
Just go up to him, introduce yourself, ask him how he's liking it here, offer him help/advice. Then tell him about yourself as well, it's like quid pro quo.
3 :
start out by asking him to describe where he is from. If he just gives short answers, you will have to keep him going by asking more questions. Ask him if he is familiar with the states. You might want to think of questions before you talk to him and make sure there are alot so that the conversation keeps going. Let him talk with out interrupting. Tell him if he has any questions at any time while here, he can ask you. Good Luck!

he is in ur class girl in the year of skul u wil prob be hatin him lke 1 yr from now or u wil be goin out wit him so just for now just say hi am lindsay n den he wil tlk to u n if u dont hhav a pencil or sumtin just ask him lol ther is alot of thing to say to a prson
5 :
well as corny as it may seem, start of with hello and then introduce yourself. then be like, "so how do u like the states so far?" (or the name of the town u live in would be best). then ask about the family he's staying with and little questions here and there. offer to show him around town and the cool spots where u live. once your class is over say bye and "see you tomorrow". the next day say hello and start talking to him when you get a chance. sooner or later you and Juan are gonna be friends and talking a lot. Hope This Helps. I would totally like to know if you used my advice and if it worked. :-)

32 yr's old German wants to study in the US! Chances!?


32 yr's old German wants to study in the US! Chances!?
Hi, I'm 32yr's old and from Germany. Work in a fulltime-job and attend a nightschool, where I get my university entrance qualification (High school graduation). My extracurricular activity are (only) chief editor of the school magazine and president of the student body. My average grade are B and some A's. I'm very ambitious and want to study Georgetown, PennU, Colombia, Dartmouth. What do you think are my chances? Seriously!

At 32 you would stick out like a sore thumb at typical colleges. At a school like Dartmouth for example, all the students will be under 25. These schools cater to a young crowd as do their activities. You need to look at schools that cater to the older student too. In the US you would be know as a non traditional student. Columbia would be a good choice as they have a program for such people called GSP. Penn and Yale also have such programs. Harvard has the extension school that offers mostly night classes to older students. As for chances, you would need very impressive grades and SAT scores to get into these schools. Basically, you will need to have been a very top student wherever you are coming from. You'll also need a great deal of money. Each of these programs will cost anywhere from $15-$50K per year depending on number of classes and the program. Financial aid for an older international student will be all but impossible.
