Today's Lesson

While I've learned all sorts of amazing things since I've been here (SWOT analysis, strategies in acquisitions and mergers, management contracts, IRR, NPV, in-depth IF statements, how to tell if a hotel is a room-based or resort-type just from the income statement percentages, etc. etc.), the most sobering lesson came today when Nico asked me to proof his Advanced English homework. Apparently I don't know English!
Although the most interesting lesson I learned today (but I have yet to research/snopes it) is that BMW implemented fire extinguishers on the exterior of their cars sold in South Africa so the driver can push a button and discharge them in the event of an attempted car jacking. Talk about a global education.... ;o) Miss you all!

Snopes doesn't have anything on it. They're keeping the Tricky James Bond BMW model secret.
