Hola TODOS! Things are going just swimmingly here. Over the weekend I got to experience the "Argentinean" way of going out (i.e. eat dinner around 10:30, go to the bar around 12 then to the club around 2:30, home by 8:00 AM). You would think this would be a challenge if you're not used to it (I was thinking there's NO WAY i'm going to be able to stay out until even 6AM!), but before you know it the sun in coming up and you're like, well shit I suppose it's time to go home.
Friday night was the program welcome party, lots of fun. It was at this place called ACABAR which is pretty chill. Lost of games to play, good drinks, food yada yada. After that, a few of us headed out to the clubs but ended up in this square with a few large scale bars. Got WAY lost trying to walk to the Subte around 6:00AM (think walking in the exact opposite direction for like an hour, then being like, crap where are we?!) But hey, it's all one big adventure! I made it home around 8:00AM and slept until 4PM the next day.... rough life I have here huh? LOL
Saturday it was the birthday of a gal in the program so a few of us went out to dinner at this place that was AMAZINGLY delicious with massive portions. Even the dudes at the table had to throw in the towel. It was like $25 pesos (divid by 3ish to get dollars) for a HUGE plate of meat (I went for something different of course). so with stage one complete, we headed back to ACABAR and played some jenga, then into stage 3 the CLUB ... let me tell you, it has been a cool while since I've been to a true euro styled dance club. Picture huge dance floor, people engaging in all kinds of club related debauchery, lasers going, named DJs. Portland wouldn't know what to do if a club like this opened up! Super fun, dancing blah blah. Ended up at the Argentina equivalent of Denny's around 7:00... home by 8:30AM.
Anywho, today I woke up around 1:30 and went to this market in Ricoleta with a few people from the program.... feel like I found a GOLD MINE of amazingly awesome stuff no one needs but are compelled to buy. I got some wonder woman earrings and finger puppets (a blue dog and a pink bear). Around 5, all these people started setting up to play music, juggle all kinds of objects, tight rope walk... you name it in the grassy areas surrounding the market. Really neat and a lot of things to look at. ALL kinds of music from drumming, to rock band, to peruvian flute band.
Anywho, that's kinda a rundown of my weekend.
Hugs and Kisses to all those I misses :)
