The students seem to have completely mastered the Madrid metro system, which is a major accomplishment, as it's one of the largest in the world. I hear them talking among themselves about the most efficient ways to get from one place to another, about where to change trains, and how to avoid transfers.
The infrastructure here is decades ahead of the US. The highways are perfect, subways, trams, and high speed trains link everything together. The students have begun asking why we don't have this kind of thing in Chicago. I have no good answers.
