Currently, I am taking an intensive month of Spanish in the University of Belgrano. Its a vertical university that has elevators that only stop on the floors 5 9 and 17. Its a private school and all the Argentines are very trendy. The city is huge with many places to see and things to do. I went to a park near Palermo this weekend where many people were slack lining. There was a large lake in the middle of the park and people were roller blading 80's style with cones. A parade came through that was practicing for Carnival. We ate helado con dulce de leche.
Its been fairly cold here, which is a change from the warm sunny beautiful weather at home( i miss the sun). I went to a Boliche called Kika and some other local spots for some dancing and night life. Its very fun, but they stay out til 7 in the morning and sleep the whole next day... its my kind of owl life.
I also went to the Feria de Mataderos. It's town where they slaughter cows, but on Sundays people come to dance Folklorico, and sell things. It was kinda like Mountain Fair at home. I tried the local food like Churri Pan (basically brotworst) and Locro a stew that is a little bit spicy. The food here is like the midwest, ketsup is hot sauce. After I went to Havana Chocolates and had a Submarino (hot milk were a bar of chocolate is dropped in.
Can't wait to try more food!
