Each summer, American university students head out to foreign countries to work abroad. I spent one summer working abroad myself, while I was studying at UCLA. I sent off my CV to some program in Spain, and voila, I was offered a job to work at a department-store/diner called VIPS, a Mexican-owned company located in Madrid. I was already familiar with VIPS as I had traveled a lot in Mexico. I liked VIPS. It was a place where you could eat chilaquiles in the atmosphere of an upscale American diner. They also sold things like books and videos.
