and now, a little bit about us... |
|
It could easily be said that the only things that we had in common are that we are West Virginia University students. Some of us were acquainted with one another from previous classes, but for the most part, we met in Havana. That's the beauty of the trip. All of us (excluding Lindsay) still have our personal pages up and running. Make sure to click on our photos below to see our individual takes on our trip to the island. |

Brie was absent for the shot, but we managed to pin her up anyway… Thanks for visiting our site! |
|
JIm Saborío: A rapidly aging econ major who thought he could teach these kids a thing or two about finding the elusive peso bar. He has served in campaigns in East Africa, Alaska, the Sea of Okhotsk, and friendly Montreal but was thoroughly disgusted by the potability of Havana's tap water. e-mail: removed@nomore.com |

Hiromi Ihashi: She hails from Chiba, Japan and has had the (mis?)fortune of studying at WVU for the last year. Hiromi spent most of her time in Havana wondering what the up and coming "Japan Week" was all about. Her major is sociology, but when it came to peso-economics, she probably learned more than any of the rest of us. e-mail: hiromi52@hotmail.com |

Lindsay Ann Colen: She comes from the great state of Maryland, and is a struggling senior at WVU with a major in History and a minor in Sociology. While in Havana, Lindsay learned all about the Jewish Community in Cuba. She plans to start a organization to aid the Jewish community in Cuba. She is a member of the best sorority at WVU Kappa Delta. AOT e-mail: LinsColen@aol.com |

Brie Frey: A mindful and conservative young geography student who became a little liberal while in Cuba. Fascinated by the Revolution and the Cuban Way beyond the information fed to us by the United States media. She has been influenced by her Kiwi, Froggie, Mountaineer, and other international encounters to see the Cuban Revolution through the eye's of Cubans. e-mail: brieusa@yahoo.com |

Suk Jae Lee: Since this site was posted, Lee has graduated and returned to South Korea to fulfill his military service requirements. Yep, he's no longer attending dry economics lectures at the good 'ol B & E building. When he called the South Korean embassy in DC to secure his Cuban visa, the clerk told him that he was the only one that had asked him for one in thirty years! Lee had the distinction of being a unique cultural ambassador. e-mail: sukjaelee07@hotmail.com |
