Just found this page a week ago. Been lurking for a bit and figured I'd introduce myself.

I was born and raised in Providence, RI. Went to Purdue University and got my B.S. in Aviation Management. Decided to forgo the job search for a while and moved to Barcelona for 3 months to learn some Spanish. Then went to Havana for a month and took some more Spanish classes. I'm pretty fluent now.

I love cigars, rum, flying skiing and traveling. In fact, I usually combine a few of them at the same time. Well, all of them except for the flying and rum.

Hope to learn and contribute as much as I can. Thanks!

Chris

Hola Chris

Como Esta Usted, senor Cristobal? Mi nombre es Eugenio en espanol.
Bienvenido a los BOTL, mi hermano!!! I envy you being able to see Havana.

I grew up in Manila and as you know, the old manila was the sister city of
both mexico city and Havana (San Cristobal de la habana) - hence the origins of the galleon trade. During the time of the Spanish rule that is.........Half of the filipino language is spanish and the other half is a mixture of malay and chinese hence my fluency en espanol is limited but passable. All nouns in the filipino(tagalog)language are in spanish.

Then again...hasta la luego, mi hermano de los estancos
