Being a study abroad kid..

I have made some non-IFSA (my study abroad program) friends, and you know what one of them told me? They said they love meeting people, but study abroad kids he usually veers away from. That made me super curious, so I've started noticing some things. For example, us study abroad kids have...

DENGUE IS AFTER ME!

For those of you who don't already know, Dengue is after me. I had Dengue Fever last year a couple of days before my birthday. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't fun, but it was over relatively quickly. Now, apparently, I'm immune to that strain of Dengue. The thing is that if I get it again,...

Dancing under a full moon

Sorry I haven't been updating this lately. I just have a feeling no one reads it, so what's the point, no? Well, I finally have something exciting enough to write about regardless. Last night there was a full moon. A friend of mine had told me about some drum circle she was invited to last...

Jardin Japones

After class I decided I wanted to go to a park and hang out. I headed down Avenida Libertador, and I made it to the Jardin Japones, in Palermo. I picked a tree in the shade and sat down to write. I loved that I was completely surrounded by trees, so I took pictures of everything around...

Just a few things I've noticed..

After a couple of weeks of school, there are a couple of things I have noticed that are pretty interesting. First of all, in the classes that I’m taking, everyone calls each other compañer@. This might clue you in to the kind of classes I’m taking, but I think it’s pretty cool. Today a girl...

Exploring new parts of the city

I tried to ignore the fact that I was just not getting used to walking around my neighborhood because of the obscene amount of people that looked like they were on a runway and/or had some sort of plastic surgery gone wrong. Also, I was seeing a lot of orange fake bakers (keep in mind it's...

Really? How old are you!?

A couple of my guy friends here have complained about how girls here, minas, are ice queens. It seems understandable if you think about how incredibly intense men are. For example, I like smiling at people I pass on the street, but I can't really do that. In fact, I really should not smile at...

MALBA

Today I finally visited the MALBA! MALBA stands for Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. It's definitely not the bigges museum I've ever been to, but it's got some really amazing pieces. My favorites were probably La gran tentacion and Manifestacion by Antonio Berni, Autorretrato...

Donde estan las monedas!?

I've held off long enough on this, so I think it's time to finally complain about the incredibly inconvenient coin situation here. For some reason, there are very few coins in circulation. People have very different theories about this phenomenon.. I've heard some say that the mafia stockpiles...
