Hola! Today we had an orientation in the morning where they did their best to officially scare us into not doing something stupid : )) It was a lot of really great information about safety, transportation, cultural norms etc. I had my first famous Argentina empanada today and it was delicious! I tried chicken and meat filled ones and I'm a big fan.
From 1-5 we went on a city bus tour. They took us to all of the most well known neighborhoods in the city so that we could get a brief glimpse of all the diversity that it has to offer. It's incredible here! It feels like each neighborhood is a different world, each part of the city has it's own flare. I can't wait to return to them all and to do more exploring!
We sat in a cafe tonight and I had a coffee, the coffee here is as small and as strong as a shot of espresso, it's perfect! : )) My roommate, Emma, and I bought some new "mate" it's a traditional drink here that is sort of like a really strong loose leafed tea. You put the leaves in a wooden gourd and drink it from a straw, it's a social sort of thing and I think it's really gonna grow on me : )
Well Grace is preparing dinner as I write this, dinner in Argentina isn't until at least 9 or 10 which is bedtime back in the States but the Argentine's nightlife is incredible, from 3-7 AM haha so I guess you have to eat late to keep in step : )) Well that's all for now! Spanish language placement exam tomorrow! : ) Adios!
