Hanoi is a big city of 6 million people that feels like a small town, a village of winding streets and fascinating small nooks. It was a wonderful place to spend a summer and I look forward to seeing how we both change when we next meet again.

Tuesday, August 11, 2009. My name is Martha Menendez. I just got back from an amazing internship in. Six of us were chosen by Professor Jack Garvey to spend one week in. Two students were assigned internships at private law firms with the remainder of us interning in different departments within the Defensoría del Pueblo de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires.
