zoooooooooooooooooooooooom, Buenos Aires, non-stop insanity! and they never scheduled a sleep break! Clubs that start at 2am, run till 7am, then new ones start at 8am and go till after midday...then its lunchtime, a steak for some and a well deserved bottle of water for others.....everyday of the week its the same....at least we'e on a different rota to the mosquitos, they come out at night and we're nowhere to be found...and when we do slink into bed, its early afternoon and we missed them....did some sightseeing from the taxi's, and everythings a lovely hue of purple and greens, kinda like the trees of a friday night in Malahide Castle, to be honest! But today is calm, we are leaving for Puerto Madrin to see the Blue Whales give birth, if we're lucky, mind you, we'd ... read more

so my first full day i managed to fit in more culture than one of the lads who stays here has done in 5 weeks. he said that himself. Got up still pretty tired, then a group of us went to la boca - such a great place, exactly like all the pictures u see. We had lunch at a place where they danced tango next to you, so cool. of course being the girl i am i sat with my back to the show and managed to spill my dinner down me, so ended up with a crick in my neck and stains down my trousers. only me. so much tango in the streets, it was great. we saw this one old old man dancing with a young, slightly embarrassed looking girl. we all said ... read more

hey guys.... time for another update!! well, last time i wrote i was learning about the cosmopolitian lifestyle. this time i want to talk about how i have personally grown the past two weeks... my ultime favorite song is "One" by U2. the last part of the song: "One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should. One life with each other: sisters, brothers. One life, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other. One, one." just being here i have constantly been singing that part in my head. before it was so difficult to imagine a different lifestyle, different ways of doing the same thing. everyday i see and learn different ways of living. for example, here, i have learned how to eat differently. take ... read more

hey guys.. well this week i have my spanish class all sorted out and i love it. my teacher is so good. the books that we learn from are quit shitty but my teacher explains things well and understands english. i have had a productive week so far. we did not go out nearly as much or stay up so late becuase we were all drained from last week. i finally did some sight seeing. i went to the casa rosada )pink house) like the white house , were the president work. i saw the balcony that evita and madonna spoke to the crowd. it is really funny becuase everyday down that street there are always protest. the locals are so use to it. the protests blocks a block and there are many people with signs ... read more

well guys, i made it to buenos aires. i can not believe that i have been here for a week. time went by so fast. the city is wonderful. sure it does suck that i gave up my summer to go to winter and try and learn spanish, but honestly i could not be happier. i am staying in the middle of the city next to the congress building. in my residence hall, hay muchas personas from everywhere. there are probably about 22 people living here. mainly brazillians from sao paulo or rio. there are also three english girls (one of them just graduated at the top of her class at oxford), one girl from luxembourge, one guy from germany, one irish, and then 4 other americans. they are all so nice and we are one ... read more
