First week

As expected the first week was not easy...not by a long shot. And, as I predicted, I cried many times.

But I have temporarily stopped crying to write this blog and let you all know how crazy argentina is.

Here is a list of strange things about Argentina (not bad things...just different things ;)

1. stray barking scary dogs everywhere
2. it's cold, really frickin' cold
3. the sidewalks are falling apart
4. old men calling you preciosa
5. nobody smiles but everyone is nice
6. streets without streetlights, stop signs or pedestrian crossings, streets=chaos
7. lines on the roads that no drivers follow
8. pollution you can feel
9. nobody talking or looking at eachother on the bus
10. people singing all the time, on the bus, in the street, to their kids, to themselves

I feel like argentina is a confused country- like a teenager who doesn't know what he/she wants to be when he/she grows up. And I also feel like a teenager trying to figure out if i really want to be friends with argentina, trying to figure out if it is one of the cool kids.
