Lucky guys

Meet Mansour and Yousef:

This is a pic from last spring at Emirates Palace...  In the past two weeks Mansour secured an internship at Boeing in Seattle for the spring.  This country is investing a lot of money into the aerospace industry.  Long story short:  This well-paid internship could lead to a fantastic career.

Last night Youseff found out he's been accepted to NYU.  The Emirati government will pay his tuition, room & board, give him two round-trip tickets per year, and about $500 per month to live on.  Talk about a sweet deal!

I hope to visit them (and Iowa) during spring break.
