Indeed. I've asked to visit 3 professors in Spain, UK and Zurich. It's a bit risky because I'll spend nearly all my money but as Choppy said, life itself is remarkanle...if you take risks! I'll let you know how it finish. Thanks for your comments fellows!

I'm writing a new essay, telling what I did, what I doing and what I'll do. Being a scientist is fail and fail again and make notes about why are you failing and repeat again the test.
