28 Jan 2007Vanesa left for her trip on Saturday night. She’s going to be traveling for 18 days through Northern Argentina and Bolivia. I’m so happy she has this opportunity because she’s never taken a trip like this before. But I’m going to miss her! I’ve been single practically my whole life, but this is going to [...]

28 Jan 2007I don’t know if it’s available in the US, but if you can find Dasani Balance, give it a try! It’s flavored water that is much better than just about any flavored water I’ve tried. I like Propel and Powerade water too, but this is more subtle and not quite as sweet. Only 15 calories [...]

13 Jan 2007I like the steak here, but find much of the food lacking in variety and flavor. They don’t tend to mix the foods together and none of the food has any spice. (Paul, in this regard, Mexico wins hands-down). I was really missing Mexican or Tex-Mex food. So, Vanesa, her roommate Monica, and my friend [...]

13 Jan 2007This is how to go to school folks! Or as the kids say “This is how I roll.” Forget taking the hot, crowded subway and dodging people in noisy, crowded downtown area. Forget a congested, dilapidated, hot “school building.” Forget frustrations with the school and disrespect for the students. I have private classes!
The classes cost [...]
Argentina does not have the most strict customs practices in the world. When you come from a first world country, they assume you have a good reason to return to your country eventually. They’re welcoming tourists by the boatload and want them to stay as long as possible. The standard practice here is to receive [...]

I can take pictures in order to capture memories and share them with friends and family! Now with my own place, I can blog, [...]

3 Jan 2007A mere 36 hours after moving into my oasis of an apartment, the air conditioning went out. I can have a lot of patience with people, but things like this frustrate me to no end! I wanted my friends to enjoy the New Year as much as possible, but we ended up sweating quite a [...]
