the little things

Hola! Lets talk about the little things in Buenos Aires. First- there is dog poop everywhere. walking down the street is quite difficult, as there as land mines everywhere- and if you're walking home after a night of drinking, you're probably doomed to get the dreaded "stink-foot." Did you know that they haven't invented napkins in Argentina? turns out they're still using wax paper in the restaurants, so bring you're own napkin or paper-towel if you spill (sorry Nonnie!). Ok, earmuffs for those who can't talk about sex. I just started my Tango class, and have recently learned that Buenos Aires is a city of sex. Let me explain. You know the men's magazine Maxim back in the states? well its more like a porno here, and they have it at every newstand, on every corner, along with sex videos and promotions for strip shows. At first it was a little weird to see every 5 minutes, but i've gotten used to it- Did you know that the women here are gorgeous?! Well they know it too, and thats why Argentine men and women make out everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I asked my Global Icons teacher why (i thought it was because they couldn't do it at home, since they stay at home with Mommy till they're 30), and it turns out they just want you to see them in love. Its a celebration of sex, all the time, everywhere. Which aint too bad after you accept it. OK. you can take the earmuffs off. Life is great here and theres TOO MUCH TO DO. and everything is just as cool as the other thing, so its hard to choose. but thats what life is right? making choices and seeing where you come out? well so far i've come out on top every time, its hard not too in this amazing country, with these amazing people, and in this huge city. Well until next time, and remember, watch where you step!
