- Women: I could go on and on about the women here. They wear these revealing cotton tanktops and I swear they nearly all have beautifully formed bouncy sets of babyfeeders. It must be tough becoming an old woman in this city. The young girls are mind-numbinglybeautiful… They look like ice-queens as they walk around the city, but if you actually talk to them, the girls are pretty friendly. At least the ones I’ve met, usually in nightclubs, or “boliches”.
- Food: For a country influenced by Italy, the pizza here is sub-par…. everyone eats meat, it’s cheaper than pork or chicken…a good bottle of red wine costs $3USD…
- Hospitality: Everyone shares food/drinks here. It’s considered rude to be drinking or eating in front of someone and not share with them. This equates to being offered to drink from other random strangers’ cups of beer whenever I go out. I almost always partake. The passable-by-mouth-disease proliferation rate here must be pretty high.
- Beer: Why is BUDWEISER so popular here? Curses!
- Dogs: More homeless dogs than people.
- Che: Che, boludo? is how people greet eachother.
- Temperature: It’s February – the heat is almost intolerable right now. January is the hottest month.
- Spanish classes: I enjoy them. I am getting better at understanding what people are saying. I still need lots of practice, and I could use some flashcards.
Going to an upscale nightclub in the mountains tomorrow night! Will remember to take photos and video!
