Casa Rosada
Palais présidentiel d'Argentine. C'est le palais célèbre pour son balcon ou Eva Perron (Evita) adressait ses discours a la fouleFirst day of classes!
On a finalement commencé nos cours. Nos cours se donnent l'après-midi de 2h a 6h et on dirait que l'école a été envahi de Brésiliens. Après avoir fait le test de placement le matin on a quitté l'école pour se promener a pied au centre ville.
On suis en train d'attendre le souper (C'est à 21h30) et on est en train de mourir de faim. Il va falloir s'habituer bientot a manger aussi tard...
For the first day at school we had to be there quite early. And since Davide kinda explained to us how to get there, we decided to walk. As we arrived, at the door we met Karishma (or cuchara for Steph), an Indian girl born in Hong Kong. I didnt have to do a placement test, so I was pretty bored sitting waiting for Stephanie in the common area. Then we got our placement and had to argue our way into the same schedule. But it worked out well. And as we later found out it was great, because BsAs gets really really hot in the afternoon (its usually abour 26 in the morning and 34 in the afternoon). So
Lunch
mmmm notre diner etait tres bon (on avait toujours pas trouvé d'epicerie pour acheter des canes de thon!) et nous a couté environ 3$ we decided to spend our few free hours before class sightseeing. We went to see Plaza the Mayo, which has a nice park with fountains and is surrounded by a number of interesting buildings. Then we grabbed lunch (tartas - pie with hamon y quese for me and verdura for Stef. See picture). Then we also visited Obelisco, which had a Christmas tree right next to it - it was quite bizarre.
On the first day we were welcomed with a lunch and some info about the school. Empanadas became my favourite food instantly! First class was pretty scary for me, because most people knew more than me, so i was very relieved to see a dutch girl Alida that joined our class, who didnt know much either. So there was 2 British girls: Rose, Camilla, one swiss guy: Romain, and two Brazilians: Flavia and Marco. My teacher Nuria is very nice, but doesnt want to speak English, so tough luck for me trying to understand what's going on in class.
At night we went for drinks again - really close to our apartment building, since we finally met the 3rd housemate from Brazil, Gabriel. And again the swiss
Argentina
Viva Argentina! did not drink.
