<Insert clever tittle here>
We had to
choose on whether to go to the History museum or the Science Museum, I chose
the Science museum but was somehow disappointed, the Museum was nice but not
what I expected (although after seeing the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the
Louvre Museum in Paris and many other it was really hard to meet my
expectations). We saw different art of the Asian culture, Indian culture, the
first Antarctica explorers and a nice animal exhibition about dinosaurs and
many other extinct animals. At this point I’m realizing how small the Hispanic
culture is (at least in Europe) since I haven’t seen anything about any of the South
American countries. This is somehow equivalent to what happens down there,
since when I was learning about history in Peru we were taught mostly the
Hispanic culture and the European culture in a very broad manner.
After the
museum we went back to the Hostel, I joined some of the Chinese students on the
way back as we took the train together and it started to rain. Luckily one of
them had an umbrella and we ended up being 3 people using the same umbrella, it
was a funny experience.
On this day
we also went back to Emlyon for another class. This time it was about the
European Union and how the richer countries inject money into this union so the
poorer countries can improve and catch up in the economy related topics. I
found this really interesting, as this has been tried in South America in the
past but have not really being successful. A lot of times there are hidden
interests or historical issues which were never properly forgotten so jealousy
and resentment are sometimes a big part of the business and political decisions
in South America. Although this is something that is not so usual nowadays, I
can’t stop but feeling Europe is light years ahead of us in this matter.
Tomorrow we have to wake up at 5 to go to Geneve, so as great as this day has
been, it’s now time to set my alarm and go to bed.
Outside the Science Museum
Part of a collection of small sculptures.
Another part of the collection, really awesome!
In the Asian culture this character has a thousand arms!
Everyone loves penguins ^_^
Nothing special about this, I just liked this giraffe.
Rawr!
Trying not to get too wet!
