I spoke at a symposium that the U.S. Commercial Service put on for the travel industry, promoting travel to the U.S. I spoke about the process of applying for a U.S. visa. The audience was very interested and respectful. I received several nice complements on my language ability.

Believe it or not, in DC I actually received training in how to stand behind a podium.
I thought it was silly at the time, but it is really paying off!
Nice standing! Good thing you aren’t allergic to flowers!
