It´s been a while...

I´m writing this update because I haven´t updated in a few days. Between being busy and not having internet, it´s been a bit difficult to keep up.

Friday- a blast!!!!!!! During the day I had class. As usual. The afternoon was filled with more exploring and errands. I´ve been certainly having some packed days! At night, Clarissa, Nikki and I met up with three Argentinean boys we had made friends with. It was great to already have some friends in the area. They picked us up around 11:30 and we headed to a bar. At around 2:30, we headed to a club called Liquid. They played hip-hop and reggaeton, our kind of music and we danced until about 6 am, when we headed home. It was a great night

Saturday- After a late night, I slept in Saturday and woke up to study with Clarissa and then go shopping Saturday afternoon. As the final gets closer, I´ve been adding more and more studying hours into my day. That night, Nikki, Clarissa and I made plans to head out. Unfortunately, everything went wrong. My host mom locked me out of the house. My hair dryer blew up. Literally, it blew up. Then we couldn´t get ahold of Nikki because Clarissa had a new phone that didn´t work. Finally, after two hours of drama, Clarissa and I headed to a bar named Sugar but made it an early night. There were too many of the regular creepers around so we booked it out and made it home by 1:30 am.

Sunday- Since I hadn´t been out late the night before, I headed to the park for a good study session. What perfect weather. I certainly can´t complain here in Argentina about the weather. It´s been in the 80s and 90s and sunny every day! At night, I hung out with Clarissa and then we got ready to go out. We had heard about an awesome Brazilian club open on Sunday nights and wanted to check it out. We headed to the area by bus but, as I had never been there before, we passed it and had to take a taxi back.

Once we arrived at the club, we learned that it didn´t open until 1:30 am, so we headed to a Cuban bar where we hung out and helped celebrate an old Cuban woman´s birthday. They shared cake with us and we chatted with them. It was cute! Then we headed to the Brazilian club. After paying our 10 pesos, we were astounded by what we saw once we entered. It was crazy! The people were dancing in a crazy way like I had never seen before. We looked at each other, laughed, and thought, ¨What in the world did we get ourselves into?¨ After a quick bathroom trip and hanging out on the sidelines for a bit, we thought, what the heck? We can barge on into the dance floor and dance too. We may not be dancing crazy like the other people, but at least we would be having fun. However, minutes after we joined the dance floor, other joined and the music turned into great dancing music. We had a blast! The video below is of club but my friend is screaming during the whole thing so it kind of sounds like she's on a roller coaster. Hahaha.



Monday- A usual day. Nothing too eventful.

Tuesday- Yesterday, after class, I helped Clarissa and Nikki book their tickets to come visit me in Brazil during their spring break. What a blast! I´m very excited. Then, I ran errands and went to see one of the plazas downtown. Finally, at night, Clarissa, Steven, Nikki and I headed to a Peruvian restuarant. It was a ways away and we didn´t get there until 9:30 for supper, but it was well worth the wait. The food was incredible and fairly inexpensive. For 15 USD, I got out of there with an appetizer, a main course (absolutely delicious!), dessert, a pop and two glasses of wine. Wow! And not one table was empty while we were there. A little over two hours later, we made our way out of the restaurant satisfied and headed home on the bus since the metro was closed. Definitely worth a return visit if I have time.
