Well, another thing has happpened that I wasn't expecting. I thought learning Spanish would help me in South America, you know, being able to comunication with the locals. Since being in Buenos Aires, having Hebrew another the belt would be just as useful, and being on a floor in a hostel where everyone except me is Jewish. Save you jokes, David King of the Jews..haha
It turns out that South America is a favourite destination for Isreales once their military services is over, so they come over in droves.
Went to Boca yesterday with 5 Isreales, they were are very nice when they decided to speak to me in English, but that didn't happen too much...so it was rather frustrating. Anyway Boca was very cool, lots of little bar with couples dancing to the tango. Building with bright colours, and artists showing their wares. Boca is a pretty dodgy area besides this main area, we got told by a local when we started walking away from the main area that this wasn't a great idea.
Today I have just visited the Recoleta area, which includes a very swanky cemetery. Some very famous people are buried inside, including Eva Peron...but I think she actually isn't there, her body has been move elsewhere for security reason, not for her...haha
Now besides that, my eating habits have gone out the window. Anyone that knows me, knows that I keep to a pretty strict eating regime. All you need to do is look at the clock, and every day I'm eating something at the same time every day. I think all that meat that I consumed in Brazil has destroyed my hunger, I haven't eaten dinner for the last 2 nights, and I've missed a few other meals along the way as well. Anyway, I think the hostel is having a barbie tonight, so I will be ready for that one. Shalom
