Our first day! (by Jessica)

Today has been so much fun and there is still so much to come!
I liked walking around and seeing the school children this morning. I also really liked the chai! It was so good and very different from what I've had in America.
This afternoon has been really exciting. We got to see monkeys!!! I was happy to see the monkeys but I felt bad for them because they didn't seem too happy. Well, they didn't seem too happy when the man made them dance. They seemed quite content when they got to eat bugs off of each other later on.

I am impressed by how hard the EMPI students work in their business programs. They told us that they do not have TVs because they have no time to watch anything. They wake up around 6 A.M. for mandatory work-outs then they have classes and homework until very late at night. It is also interesting to be on this campus after driving through what looked like very exterme poverty on the way here. It is a strange contrast between the tiny roadside shacks and this bright, beautiful campus filled with future global business leaders.

It would be great to know what EMPI is in its longer form. Being able to google it and learn about the school/collge would be informative.
Thanks!
