What happened at the meeting?

The tour guide showed them the visitors lobby, the main gallery, and the general assembly chamber, before bidding them farewell at the entrance to the gift shop.

Are you staying in Azerbaijan? Are you worried about having more trouble with the government (or these thugs, or the people who sent them) in the future?

Assuming this is someone who works for Emirates, my understanding is that they provide company housing in Dubai. I've visited friends who are EK flight attendants, they live in decent but not spectacular apartments, with flatmates.

It takes a really strong wind to get enough bandwidth to blow those Facetime packets all the way to the USA!

The reason your question isn't getting answered is because no one wants to consider the possibility that American universities require more funding because they are simply better. It makes their entire argument fall apart.

There's a number of American universities that are truly exceptional.

But most of them fall into the same range as those in well-off European countries (some of which have a proportional number of truly exceptional universities themselves).

The idea that every American university that costs $40000/student to run is twice as good as every European university that costs $20000/student to run is, frankly, preposterous.

It doesn't even hold up within the USA where there's plenty of variation in expenses, let alone between countries.
