Classes I would like to see SLU-Madrid offer next semester:
El Corte Ingles 201: Course Description - A class covering the history and set-up of the famous Spanish department store. Material includes learning the 7 floors and their departments, memorizing the store locations within Madrid and Spain, and learning how to best navigate within the store.
The Mysteries of the Tobacco Stand 101: Course Description - A class offering the student information on the many offerings of the tobacco store (other than tobacco), the cultural evolution behind buying metro passes at a tobacco store, and how to ask for international stamps.
Churros Con Chocolate 389: Course Description - A course for the advanced churros con chocolate eater, including the history of the dessert, where and when to buy it in Madrid, with a final project culminating in a student collage of pictures of the student eating churros on several different occasions. Class also includes a creative writing contest with pieces inspired by the dessert.
McDonald's in Spain 220: Course Description - A class that answers the following questions: Where did McCafe come from? How do McDonald's Playlands differ between the U.S. and Spain? Why is McDonald's helado en cono (ice cream cone) so good?
Student Trip Planning 399: Course Description - A class offering students information on how to fit in everything they want to see in one semester... the class includes several class field trips in various parts of Spain and Europe, a power-point presentation comparing the wide range of student hostels, and a research paper on unforgettable/interesting/weird/amazing travel experiences.
Hmm... maybe I should pitch my curriculum ideas to the dean? What do you think? :-)

Why is it that the Tabacco stand is the only place to buy metro passes? It's that way in Austria too. I just don't understand.
Churros con chocolat sounds like a class I should be taking at my school. Maybe you could talk to the Administration at the Culinary.
Miss you!
