In the midst of the humid, Bangkok heat, program participants managed to keep cool in buses and hotels. In the course of one day, the group took a bus ride 70 miles outside of Bangkok to Thai Oil and received a presentation and tour from the company's directors. In the afternoon they went to Laem Chabang, one of the major ports in Thailand, in order ioo-degr- and low cost of the trips. Participants are expected to take international business courses as well as a hour preparation class, which Bamossy teaches.

The students take some initiative by researching the it 1 destination country in terms of its history, culture and its political and legal environment while Bamossy makes arrangements to visit various companies during the trip. "It was the perfect culmina- tion of one year of graduate school and will enhance my learning through my second year by giving me a different perspective of international business," Pulsipher said.

Meals on the trip varied from a stop at the Hard Rock Cafe to a meal at a small fishing village. "We walked around and stopped at this funky restaurant on the pier and had dinner for three hours," Bamossy said "They kept bringing fabulous seafood, and for me, it was the night the group really got their bonding and chemistry going." The group also visited Chulalongkorn University, a campus in Thailand that just signed an exchange program with the U. After touring the campus and meeting with several MBA students, they made a stop at Bumrungard Hospital, which is essentially the Thai version of the Mayo Clinic. "We entered the hospital with low expectations and left amazed at one of the top hospitals in the world," said David Pulsipher, a current MBA student at the U. "People fly to Bangkok from all across the world to receive superb of the treatment for one-thir- d cost of a typical hospital in the United States or Europe." Before leaving Thailand, participants had a weekend to explore on their own, then the group got back together for a dinner boat ride up and down the main river in Bangkok. "It went past these beautifully illuminated Buddhist temples and there was live music on the boat," Bamossy said. "Overall we had a good time but people suffered jet lag, culture shock and had their eyes opened." Past students have had the unique opportunity to visit Amsterdam, Dublin and Mexico City through the Global Business Program, and next year Bamossy expects to visit Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and return to this year's destination, Bangkok. "You can teach the stuff in the classroom and have students read, but nothing is better than taking them someplace," Bamossy said. "There was a great sense of discovery and people saw things in reality rather than reading it in a text book." Pulsipher affirmed that assessment, saying, "We were able to witness firsthand examples dealing with problems and experiencing success in major businesses instead of reading cases and imagining what it is like."
