I have a secret. I have a crush. Fernando Two is what we call him in class. He plays the standup bass and laughs at all my corny jokes....very hard. He is also very sweet. Today the secret came out at lunch. Both of my teachers, Karina and Julie think I should go for it. I want to draw smiley faces all over this page. I'm going to bat my eyelashes as much as possible on Monday. ACK! Crush city, I have arrived [View Full Entry]

After spending almost 2 months in Patagonia, it was nice to arrive in this great and especially warmer city. The 24 th was here a national memorial day (30 years after the army took over control) What I saw was amazing, thousands of people heading to the big plaza de Mayo ,demonstrating, especially not to forget what had happened. At the plaza where the mothers of the lost children, who where speaking to the crowd, and it was a huge crowd! The rest of the day I spent some time at the dentist, since I lost my (fake) front thooth, so [View Full Entry]

On Friday was a huge demonstration marking thirty years since the start of the military dictatorship. Everybody walked the streets, young and old, anarchists, non-anarchists, former anarchists, socialists, street vendors peddling coca-cola´s to the thirsty moderate anarchists. It was really a great sight. These guys made a huge stencil (I mean huge) of a man and put it in the middle of the road... its like the size of a lane of traffic. On Saturday night I went to another one of those all night club things. I had a fairly goodtime... the key to staying out all night is not [View Full Entry]

Yes Argentina, it´s getting cheaper at last. And Buenos Aires is the best city in the world!!! Arrived absolutely shattered and immediately got a taxi to meet my Spanish teacher! We decided I would study 5 hours a day, one on one for 4 days, if I hadn´t been so tired I may have noticed the craziness of this suggestion... Checked into the Lime House hostel in the centre of town, great set up, very similar to the red hostel in montevideo. One central room with extremely high ceilings with all the dorms leading off of it, very communal. Was asleep [View Full Entry]

Hola! We've been in Beunos Aires for over two weeks now and have probably got only a week left before we set off to see the rest of Latin America. The highlight so far is definately witnessing the Boca v River game at La Bombanera, home of the Boca Juniors. It's the biggest game of the season and was a sell-out months ago. We managed to get tickets through our hostel but had to fork out 50 quid each. It was the most intense football match I've ever experienced. We met up with the guy who got us the tickets, only [View Full Entry]

I have been sitting here, trying to tidy up the thoughts in my head so that I can present them to all of you in a pretty package filled with meaning, love and clarity. I do not know if I can give you this gift. I have just agreed, with myself, to give you what I have and for the rest of this entry I will give you my jumbeled thoughts, run on sentences, observations, laughter, and tears stained with dirt. Last weekend I wrote about my confusion with how I was going to deal with the anniversary of the Golpe [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, It has been quite a while since we wrote and like always it's the harassment from loved ones that prompts us to write once again... The thing is that not much is new!! It's getting hard to write about what we're doing when we have a routine. But I guess we can scrounge around in our memories to find SOMETHING interesting to write about... We went out for Saint Patricks day here, and although there are very few Irish here or Irish decendents, it seems that Argentina siezes any opportunity to party, and since SP day fell on friday [View Full Entry]

"Indifference is the worst Attitude" "Bush, get out of Iraq" "Students on Foot for Peace" "Viva Che" "October Movement" "30,000 disappeared" and "We haven't forgotten" are some of the slogans or messages that waved through the chilly air on Friday, March 24 in the streets of Buenos Aires. It has been 30 years since the military dictatorship took hold of Argentina with terror and violence which resulted in 30,000 disappeared people and 500 babies born in captivity and stolen from their families, (only 80 of the 500 have been 'recovered'). It has been sunny almost all month, but on Friday, as [View Full Entry]

Arriving back in B.A. I headed back to the same hostel I had stayed at previously and met a few of the people I met earlier. The rest of the afternoon was spent up on the hostel's terrace drinking beers and getting involved in a traditional BBQ (in half a 44 gallon drum)! Everything went down a treat... and before too long it's 6 in the morning and your playing beer-pong with some american guy. Don´t you hate it when you set your alarm, but just turn it off and go back to sleep and end up being late for something?? [View Full Entry]
