Kendall College - ESL Summer Camp (07/15/13)

Hello there, citizens.

My name's Cesar, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm 22 years old and I study International Relations at IBMR.
I always dreamed of going to the USA. Since I was 15 or something, and for the first time in my life I could make it happen. Thanks to IBMR and my college coordinator Solange for showing me this opportunity and my mother for supporting and helping me afford this expensive trip to Chicago. I arrived here two days ago and I've already spent 40% of all my money, and still need to save it for 12 days more. Me and this group of friends went shopping and things got really out of hand we definitely spent a lot, just because almost everything here is cheaper than Brazil, so we have to take some advantage of it, right?
It's early to say, I know, but this trip has been amazing so far. Let's see what happens over the next few days.

Here's a picture of this lovely city.
