Brazil, China or Argentina?

I submitted my application for study abroad during the Fall 2011 term and am currently playing the waiting game. My first choice is Sao Paulo, Brazil for so many reasons: the emergence of its economy, the culture, the food, music, beaches, etc.

China would be quite interesting because it's poised to overtake the US as the number 1 economy in our lifetime. I'd love to learn how to successfully interact with Chinese businesspeople. There's also a spiritual component to studying and living in such an old world that intrigues me as well.

Argentina would be a CHALLENGE since the instruction will be at the graduate level in Spanish. My spanish is good but I'd feel a bit inadequate in the midst of such talent. However, if that is indeed my destination I'll certainly make the most of it and emerge stronger than ever.

Crossing my fingers for Brazil!
