buenos aires

yum
spread the word
familiar¿
protest here
and here....


does this look familiar to someone :) so freya i am pretty sure you will tell me what these guys are fighting for - felt like being in granada - remember¿ protest everywhere - young people and old people - drums and music - a protest as we knew from spain, right just the big gigantic puppets missing :) (note to the rest:it was a protest we bumped into in spain againt the iraq war) bush, saddam, berlosconi ¿)

yip just we predicted argentinians indugle in bread just as much as the
chilians.

you know here in buenos aires people forn neat single file lines whilst waiting for the bus, very organised...but looks quite odd, i guess order is required with a mass amount of people.

still yet to locate some drum´n´bass, every enquire we´ve made is replied with "there´s a few good ´disco´ bars around....hmmmmm.

there´s a serious lack of stray dogsin buenos aires, perhaps not the ideal conditions for a stray.

helene decided chilian men are more attractive so far, still not competitable with kiwis. i knooooooooooow (still debatable)

poverty
although i have seen much poverty in other countries, it always gets to me again and again, and i know this will be even much worse the further we go north. but walking through the city , once in the morning and in nighttime and right in the city center, next to the bank district and the main road, just next to everyone. it is just breaks my heart.... seeing a little child sleeping on the doorstep and everyone including me just walking by turning a blind eye...men in suits, hippies, funky hip people even mothers. A baby crying from within the walls of a cardboard home, the neighbouring cardboard home was divided by a piece of cardboard into two rooms, the parents and childrens room - how is one are supposed to react? tell me.. i dont know. you just get this weird uncomfortable feeling whichs kills the conversation, until you discover something else to distract your thoughts...then everything seems forgotten...but it is not. not even after the cheapest big mac ever!! ( $2.50 kiwi)

there seems to be some kind of rubbish mafia that appears in the late hours of the eveing, entire families with the collection truck going through all the rubbish bins already collected or about to be collected...picking out what was useful or eatable?? not quite sure..whilst we were looking for a decent size supermarket and cheap (for aaaages) they were shuffling through rubbish to find just something to eat.

home sweet home

sooooo. we now have a home for the next two weeks. after visiting several spanish schools, come monday we are offically espanol students. pretty sure (positive) we gonna be fluent by the end of the two weeks ;) (or at least being able to say: hi , i am nick from new zealand) (well obviously he already can say that... so he doesn`t need to go to spanish school.....naaaaaah) (kiwi´s are treated like royalty of here..no need to learn spanish) back to school, every day, only 4 hours, but still - schooooool (spew) .... its been ages since we´ve had a regular timetable (nick probably won´t make it to class) (helli:nope he wont because he doenst know where to go without me, nor does he has a watch :) ).... 2 weeks in buenos aires, two weeks of getting crispy or dirty by the the dust and smog, having a fridge of food, which we filled up today....never go to the supermarket on an empty tummy, stupid purchases such as smiley face potatoes (nick: happy food = happy living)
