This morning the Bryant SIE crew had an informative Q&A session with Matt Moran, a former world bank consultant living in Argentina. Matt talked to us about the business and social culture of Argentina as well as helpful advice for what to do and what not to do while in the country. We covered topics ranging from getting a drivers license in Argentina to contract laws of and how they make it difficult to trust even your strongest business acquaintances. His stories grabbed the attention of the group and the advice he gave to us was priceless. The whole Bryant crew is extremely grateful to Mr. Moran for taking time to come and teach us about this wonderful country.
After we separated for a quick lunch, we got back together for a bus tour around the city. At first, we passed beautiful churches as well as Universidad de Buenos Aires, a free university that is extremely selective on who they accept. Throughout the whole tour we marveled at the beautiful architecture that the city possessed. The tour next brought us to a farmers market where we saw several small huts set up with different knickknack type objects for sale. Next to the market was an indoor shopping plaza with different bars and restaurants. Upon leaving there, we traveled to La Boca, a section of Argentina with vibrant colors and shops lining the streets. Blue and yellow walls lined the streets as we browsed the many shops and stores in the area. Perhaps my favorite part of the day was when we saw a group of about six or seven dogs available to take pictures with. There was no fee to take the pictures, however if you took a picture with them it was recommended that you make a contribution to the rescued dogs to hopefully find them homes. To find a picture of one of the cutest dogs, follow the Snapchat account we created for the trip @sie_ac2019. Here we will post updates and pictures relating to this once in a lifetime trip that we are currently on.
