DePaul CDM Study Abroad December 2008 - Brazil

Mark Polewski

M.S. in Computational Finance

Framework or Role(s):

I had a great experience visiting. The sights of all three cities were so very different yet were so true to Brazil. The company visits were both informative and interesting. Buildings rose in the shadows of mountains, beaches ran into high-rise condos, and the urban sprawl was shown through the mist next to subtropical forests. The contrast was so dramatic but at the same time in harmony. Rarely if ever does a person's perception of a destination and the reality coincide. I had an impression I formed in my mind only for it to be such a misjudgment to the beauty in contrasting landscapes of both the human and city elements.
