Barcelona - Beloved city

Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain after Madrid.

 I lived in Barcelona for two years; as a result, I studied my master degree of International Business there. The reasons because I felt in love with this fashionable city are: arquitecture, nightlife, beautiful beaches, tasty food, football and so many friends from around the world.

First, the art and arquitecture that you can appreciate in this city is amazing. Gaudi, who is a famous arquitect in Barcelona, designed the Sagrada Familia Temple, Parc Guell, Casa Batllo which are the most important main attractions in the city.

In addition, the Football Club Barcelona, which is the best football team from Europe, is a mainstream around the world.  Whenever a game takes place, the stadium which is called Camp Nou is crowded of fans who become crazy to support the team. Moreover, nightlife is amazing most of the best cool bars are along the beach which is called Barceloneta. The beach is just 10 minutes by walking far from the downtown.

Definitely Barcelona is not only the perfect place to live as a student, but also the perfect place to spend the vacation that anyone can dream.

Toulouse – La Ville Rose

Toulouse, 4^th town of France and economic capital of southern France, is also the European centre of aeronautic and space industry. The headquarters of Airbus are located there. There are a lot of places that you can visit such as Garonne River which is on the site of an ancient Roman settlement; even today many of the smaller streets and the red brick buildings are from this Roman style. These buildings are also what give Toulouse its nickname La ville rose (The pink city).

In addition to the main places to visit, you can taste not only rich food and good wine but also enjoy the slow living that is what this city of southwest France is all about.

Toulouse has an important meaning in my life; as a result that I lived there for almost one year in order to learn French. I used to study in the Alliance Francaise a Toulouse which is one of the most well-known learning language schools around the world.

Heavy rain hits El Salvador

El Salvador has experimented heavy rains for several days. Therefore, a status of emergency  was declared by the government.

El Salvador is the most affected country from the Central America region with more killed people reported; a cause of the raining phenomenon that it has been traversed in the last seven days.  The large amounts of rain are causing damage: washed out bridges, landslides, flooding and river overflows. Moreover, thousands of people have being taking away from home to be sheltered in schools until the rain stops. Therefore, there is an urge of international cooperation to send food, healthcare, and financial resources to support Salvadorian families.

El Salvador was hit hardest by the low pressure system that produced the rain. According to the government, 32 people have been killed in the country, two are missing and 25 were injured. Nearly 35,000 people were evacuated and were housed in 267 shelters. Schools in the entire country were closed, and officials warned residents to remain cautious.

This phenomenon is of great magnitude. The rain will continue for at least two more days; thus, the risk for mudslides and flooding will continue.

Team Building: Think Big, Play with Lego

Child like play is finding a place in the office as companies push aside the withboards and speakerphones to make a pile of brightly colored buildings blocks called “LEGO”.

Lego is one of the most engaging methods to facilitate any training, conference or meeting. "Everyone builds, and everyone has a story." Lego encourages people to develop an individual creativity to produce powerful team results through a series of challenging activities.

In a teambuilding and leadership development session, individuals build models that reflect goals, impressions, describe what they have done, how senior managements picture their organization in the future, and if their vision its aligned with the board of directors strategy.

In conclusion, the goal is to encourage a level of creative thinking way outside the comfort zone of senior leader and aligned the vision of any individual organization in one and the most efficient way that any firm should operate in the business world.

Globalization: Do Business, Think Global

Globalization is changing the way people do business around the world. Therefore, people have to take advantages of the opportunities that globalization brings; such as, technologies and new ways of communications. Indeed, globalization brings an integration of markets, nations, states and technologies in a way that is enabling each of us, corporations and nation-states to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than before, and in a way that is enabling the world to reach into each of us, corporations and nations-states farther, faster, deeper, cheaper than ever before.”
