Random Things

• Everyplace here delivers. Like you can order in ice cream. And McDonalds. We haven't done it...but it's possible. 
• These people never sleep - A and I left this ridiculous club on the water last night at 5 am and people were ARRIVING.
• Argentine girls wear the craziest shoes. Huge platforms, at all hours of the day. Platform Birkenstocks are a common day time footwear. 
• "Study Abroad Programs" can also be called "flashback to high school" on occasion.
• It's a lot harder to be nice than it probably should be.
• The weather here is deceptively perfect - you can't feel the humidity but then all of a sudden you are really sweaty with really bad hair.
• The status quo is the same all over the world. I knew this, but it's still annoying. 
• I think my mission to blend in is working - today at a restaraunt the waitress asked the kid I was with if they wanted english or spanish menus but just gave me a spanish one! And people in stores keep asking if I am from here (or Italy)!
• There is a hilarious crazy old man who works here in the dorm and no one can understand him when he talks - not even native speakers.
• Everyday, a little more spanish. I can't wait to start class to learn more!
• Today I went into the Casa Rosada (Argentina's White House). You can essentially just saunter in for free - the lobby has portraits of famous south american politicians and freedom fighters throughout history. Only two women among them - but a woman in office now! I mean, no one really likes her but whatever.
• There is pro-Chavez grafitti all over the city now that he has died. I wonder if that's a dominant opinion or not.
