ABN building, originally uploaded by johy_81.

After 5 months of waiting I got my visa to work at ABN-AMRO bank (dutch bank), as a business Support, for an area called Transaction Banking, it might sound fancy but what I actually do is being the vicepresident assistant, it is a cool position since I have the opportunity to learn a lot from banking and from my boss (who happens to be Brazilian!) doing a mix of operative and strategic work.

I work in one of the tallest building in the area, exactly in the 23rd floor, from where I have an amazing view of the city, which is reaaaally big almost endless, (comments about the city will come after).

There are three other AIESEC trainees working in the bank, david from USA, Melanie from Germany and Noemi from Venezuela, but we are not the only trainees in the building, in floor 17th and 18th Mc Graw Hill have their headquarters and about 4 AIESEC trainees are working there, so we could say that AIESEC is slowly taking the building :)

The area where the bank is located is called Santa Fe, and it is a brand new neighborhood in DF, it is very fancy and lots of multinationals and big national companies are located here, so the most expensive stores, restaurants, etc., are sorrounding the area, but what it is ironic is that the place used to be a garbage deposit few years back, which have let the annoying legacy of a very bad smell... so it this case, money sucks!
