In the club on a late night, feeling right

In Buenos Aires, everything happens later. Dinner, rarely before 9. Have a few drinks at home until midnight then head to a bar, before you know it it's 6am and you've been at a club for a few hours. Amazingly, the place is as packed on a Thursday night (Friday morning?) as most clubs in Toronto would be at midnight on a Saturday.

This picture was taken at a club called 'Lost'. It was totally massive and packed with people. The picture is of a guest DJ - apparently its the guy from the Black Eyed Peas.

Spanish classes continue to be difficult, but I'm definitely making progress. After class today I volunteered to be an english speaking conversation partner for a group of advanced english students. Essentially I stood in front of a room of about 30 argentines and introduced myself and then split off into a group with about 8 of them to have a conversation so that they could practice their english. It was actually a lot of fun and it definitely reminded me that that same troubles I have with spanish (i.e. so many new words, people speak so fast) are the same challenges inherent in trying to learn any new language. I remain committed and motivated.

This weekend we're throwing a huge party at the residence for all of the exchange students and our argentine friends. We're going to put our rooftop barbeque to good use. Stay tuned for more pictures. Hasta luego.
