Buenos Aires- Semana 3
Week tres and flying by. I started class on Monday with one less chica, same teacher though. On Tuesday, I went to La despedida for Nicole, my friend that went to Santa Clara with me. It was eighties themed but i don´t even have enough clothes to wear on a normal basis here, let alone a theme party! I went after my tango class though, and the party was fun but I was exhausted by the end because most of the people there spoke spanish so I was speaking spanish the whole night. Or trying at least. I should probably write more often since i already forget what i did on wednesday. Then thursday was one of my favorite nights here. This guy I met on the airplane told me about this group that sets up nights out for people that are in argentina that aren´t from argentina. So we met at this bar restaurant, had a drink and dinner, and then went on this train thing that was a train on the inside but on wheels and was open with lights. Everyone was taking pictures and was like what the hell is this thing, even people on the street. Anyways, then we went to a club in puerto madero called Asia de Cuba. They had a private section for us with champagne and wine and it was a fun club. I met some new people which was nice too, so i have some more friends outside of just the school. We stayed out til like 5 in the morning, and of course were some of the first ones to leave. Friday, I went out to dinner with about ten people from school at an italian restaurant and then we went to the usual spot bar. After that everyone was going to this club i had already been to, so i found some americans who knew of a place where the dj was from sacramento so he played hip hop. I have never been so excited to hear all of the really overplayed american music that i know and love so much! I am having a great time here, but after 3 weeks of all argentina things, there are definitely some things that I am starting to miss. I also found out from these american boys that there was a restaurant called California Burrito right near my apartment! I was ready to leave the bar and go eat it right then, but i decided to wait for the morning. I stayed out til about 7 that night, and took one too many tequila shots, so the next day tuve resaca. I just learned that word, so i have used it plenty since! it means hungover. My roommates left on saturday morning since they were done with school and were off to travel. Hopefully I will get to meet up with them when I am in Peru since they will be there around the same time. It was sad to see them go, but I knew I was getting two new roommates shortly. Saturday afternoon when I finally got up at like 4, i went to my burrito place to find that it is closed on the weekends since it is downtown and it is dead downtown on the weekends since nobody is working. Thus, i almost cried and went to burger king since i had to have something that i knew what it was going to taste like. I did nothing all day. Luckily, there are 3 really good english movie channels so I watched some stupid movies. That night, I went to the Quilmes beer factory restaurant with some girls from school and argentine guys that I met at Nicoles despedida. They were nice but definitely argentine...a little on the creepy side. I did steal my beer glass though to add to my collection! I do not know how i am going to pack it in my bag! On sunday, My two new roommates came. Another dutch girl, jessica, who i knew i was going to like when i saw her confessions of a shopaholic books (my favorite book series!) lol and then there is a guy, James from England who is also really nice. When we went out though, he asked if other guys were coming so he didn´t have to talk about whether the straightening iron would work or where the best places were to shop. That day we went to the san telmo market, which is most known for tango, so we shopped around and then sat at a cafe for a while and watched them do tango. Tango is everywhere I go, but now when I watch it i think, oh i can do that! Not like they do, but maybe eventually! That night we went to one of my best dinners so far at La Cabrera. They are in all the guidebooks, but it is still worth it. I split a steak, we had wine, appetizers, the whole works for $20. And took steak home since we couldn´t finish it. I learned that night that taking things home if you can´t finish them is a very american thing to do. All of the dutch people were like, what the hell are you doing asking for it to go?? They never do that, and were shocked that I would actually eat that steak the next day. Only one week left!
