Matt, I'm looking forward to seeing you in 2 weeks. I'm working hard to tie up all the loose ends here (business wise). Love, Dad

I got accepted into the program today
I got accepted today. I don't think I would have gotten through all of the paper work if I hadn't been receiving such different and interesting entries on your blog. No luck with Argentine girls? I would have thought that you'd have a great chance at dancing and going out with some ladies. Anyway, I hope that the language bit gets less frustrating. I was thinking I could pretend to be Russian! I don't know. Basically, your entire stay there has been insane! You have done so many things in the time you probably would have spent in the library, where I am right now, and I think your frustrations are completely understandable and worth the language that you are learning. How much better is your Spanish? It is raining here, but everyone has the best of attitudes from the Election last night. There was a dance party in the SU until 2AM. hope your well. your friend.

of course
No, that's got to be the case. That and the photography skills, of course.

cabs.
No no you misunderstood! The hailing was okay, it's the calling part that I screwed up. And no, apparently the cab robberies are a big problem here and the reason I was particularly afraid was that he repeated my destination in a loud voice, which they say is one of the warning signs. Luckily I made it out alive, as you might have been able to surmise!

Cabs?
C'mon Mathias! You can hail a cab! You are big and tall! Most cabs are honest, they only want to rip off the whitey with overpriced fares.

si, pero igual
No niego mucho de lo que has dicho, pero igual no me parece que hayas leido la entrada entera. Su tema es justamente como podía superar algunos de esos neuroses, por lo menos por el momento. Tambièn no entiendo como podrías haber generalizado ese cuento de mi experiencias a los estadounidenses por lo general; ¡te aseguro que hay bastante gente en mi país que no tiene esos tipos de problemas, y igual que hay bastante en tu país, cualqier sea, que si los tiene!

oh you
What is there to say? Your trip sounds absolutely marvelous, and quite adventurous at points. You do inspire the desire in me to go on a foreign adventure/travel of my own... On another note, you should bring back some of this coffee that you mention so often in your blogs and share it with us tired and hyper caffeinated people back here.

very interesting entry
Matt, Great entry, as they all have been. I finally discovered the rest of the photos you've been entering on facebook, and they look great also. It looks like you're doing fine down there. I just hope you're meeting some new people, and establishing some good relationships. We miss you! Love, Dad

about the coffee
Why don't you try telling the person making the coffee to make it American style? Down there it might not be known as "Americano", by the way (although it might). You might say something like this when ordering coffee: "por favor, quiero mi cafe con casi 10 o 12 (ounces--I don't know the Spanish word for ounces) mas agua caliente. Or maybe you could just ask for "American style" (in English). Or maybe you could just locate a Starbucks? WE miss you Matt! Love, Dad

A few things... 1. Reading about cafe con leche makes me jealous!! Ahhh I want one now. 2. Congrats on the rowing discovery, that sounds SWEET! I wish I had been able to find something like that in Cadiz but alas the gaditanos did not seem as prone to athletics...where might you get to travel? 3. Nani ALWAYS made that salad, and there was always bread and such too. Do they mix the red wine with the gaseosa??? 4. It is bizarre to see what happens to people in front of major monuments. The Louvre was ridiculous. We almost got trampled by a group of Asian tourists in front of the Venus de Milo, and then a woman shoved me out of the way in front of the Mona Lisa. 5. Que todo vaya bien, y tambien que estes aprendiendo todo sobre lo de "vos" ya q tengo un monton de ganas de entender el uso del la palabra. A lo mejor no es complejo, pero vamos... 6. Tambien dime, conoces el grupo "bajofondo"? es un grupo interesante que mezcla lo de tango con otras cosas para crear algo como la musica en una discoteca.... bueno, aqui tienes mi monton de cositas...

It was actually increíble, if you want to know. I can certainly understand argentina's high rate of heart disease though. I should ask about that name, though. I still don't know what most of the dishes I see on menus actually are. Also, Buenos Aires is on the Rio de la Plata, the mouth of which is extremely wide. I've only been to the shore once though. That's something I'm kind of envious towards you about, having the ocean around all the time. But one can take ferries across to Uruguay, and I'll probably do that some weekend. Apparently though the beaches here are huge (especially in Punta del Este) and I hope I'll be able to experience that later in the year when it stops being winter.

it is interesting to realize just how light our existence really is--at the same time, i've found that the best way to at least create perceived permanence and significance is through reaching outward. opening a door, smiling at someone, asking why something couldn't be better and taking action to improve it...while these things seem small, consider the fact that one of your good actions could catch in someone else's "logorrea" as you call it, and impact them. anyways, i'm not wise...but those are just some random thoughts to consider! hasta pronto señorrrr
