A Bad Day to be an Aussie in Argentina.....

Hi guys!

Well, another week in Buenos Aires has gone by so quick!! Am Having lots of fun and learning a lot of Spanish =)

I spent most of last week going to Spanish School and Tango Lessons. Tango is lots of fun!! We haven´t gone to a Milonga (tango dance hall) yet, but I think we´ll work our way up to it this weekend. I also spent a bit of time at my hostel with the people here and going out for drinks.

We had a big night on Thurs night @ Club 69 - this really cool club that has shows on a Thurs night, lots of fun. I didn´t end up going to school on Friday unfortunately as I got home at 6am and was supposed to be at school at 9am. I have now changed to the afternoon classes that start at 2pm! Buenos Aires really comes alive at night, everybody eats dinner around 10pm and then has a few drinks at a bar before heading to a club at 2-3am. Very fun but very tiring!!

Saturday did a bit of sightseeing (see the Pink House above - Buenos Aires equivalent to the White house) and a nearby church. Had a Salsa lesson in the afternoon (so much dancing!!) and then had a walk on the river. We all went out to a club called Pascha that night - it´s quite a famous chain around the world. It was quite good, we had a fun night.

Sunday I slept in and the in the afternoon went to another soccer game. This time it was Riverplate vs Velez. Riverplate is the other big team here in B. Aires. The atmosphere at this game was even better than last week´s game where we saw Boca Juniors play. It was a home game at Riverplate stadium and the crowd was a sea of Red and White supporters (see picture above). They went ballsitic (seriously!) and won 5-0. What a great game!

Speaking of, I got up early this morning especially to watch the friendly soccer match between Australia and Argentina. What a shame, we lost 1-0 if you didn´t see it. And so......it is a bad day today to be an aussie here =(

Anyway that´s all for now, take care xoxoxoxoxo
