The humidity and so on, you cannot really... It was getting infected, so I had to go back.

And on my return, may I tell you a quick story?

On my return, I go back and I make a mistake.

So I had to fly back to Guatemala City right away.

I mean, my feet were impossible.

And I...

So I had to take a flight back to Paris.

And on my return, I made a mistake or somehow I had to stop in Boston.

And I've never been to Boston.

In fact, I've never been to Boston since.

So to tell you, so I'm telling you a story that I remember from then.

So I arrived at the airport in Boston and it was nighttime.

So I said, what do I do?

I said, oh, I should go to see Cambridge University since my flight, the next flight to Paris was the following day at night.

I had one day to kill.

So I said, it was 2 a.m.

So I said, how do I go?

Because Cambridge University reminded me of my university, because I went to a business school, which was also kind of a tough school to get in.
