Homeward Bound

 

We made the absolute most of our 12 hour layover in Dubai on the trip home.  My classmates and I spent the morning playing football and swimming on the beach and the afternoon carving turns in the snow at Ski Dubai.  I am a native of Colorado and have been skiing the Rocky Mountains for 24 years but Dubai has a fantastic indoor ski resort.  

 

The journey through Dubai and India is finished but it was probably the most exciting and educational two weeks I have had at business school.  The visit to SKS Microfinance, ISB and the Habitat experience has given me significant insight into the Bottom of the Pyramid.  My personal view is that this trip provided some nice groundwork for the next four years of international trips.  Perhaps all this work might yield a breakthrough down the road in global poverty alleviation.  Until then, it is back to school to finish the semester.
