The first weekend

So, that first night i ended up passing out and so missed the steak dinner with the chileans. However, since then ive made up for it with two grande steaks in two nights (one was probably the best steak i will probably ever have - if you ever go to BA get a steak from La Cabrera in Palermo). That Immodium is starting to feel like a waste of money now...

This weekend Ive been staying in a hostel in San Telmo in BA. Very nice it is too with its leafy cobbled streets. However, that might all end tonight as I have signed up to a Spanish Course and maybe a homestay thingy. The school ive chosen has come recommended by a couple of people, but its also the most inexpensive place ive seen so far. i figured that the money id save on the school could be put to good use when i get fed up with staying in dorm rooms....or to fuel my steak habit...

So... Creamfields took place this weekend, but instead of blowing cash on 15hrs of electronica music (which would have been some kind of hell i think), i instead took a trip the Bombonero to see Boca Juniors vs Velez Sarsfield. Boca kicked their asses 4-0 in quite an exciting game. Bocas star striker, Martin Palermo scored two goals to put him within 6 more strikes of being the top goalscorer for boca of all time. This irked the Velez fans somewhat and they started throwing bits of chairs, bags of flour and bottles of warm yellow liquid down from their tier onto the the bit where we were. Thankfully i was under the lip of the tier and nothing came our way, but twas a bit mental nevertheless...

Well, when i settle into the language school things should calm down a bit and i can fill you in on the other stuff ive seen and done...

Im off to a percussion school / club tonight so that should be pretty cool...

hasta luego (who needs language classes!)

My children thank you for single handedly helping to slow down the pastural farming business that is destroying the rain forests.

I have nothing really to say but I wanted you to know that someone is reading this. It sounds like a wicked time. Keep up the good work.

Well, you seem to be getting things in the right order . . . steaks, footie and I hope that it's fine and sunny, not damn cold as it is here. *Sniff*

Más filete! Más Steak!
Usted debe ser destinado para unos 7 a la semana?! O tal vez es excesivo!
¡Buena suerte en la escuela de idiomas también.

Football, Steak, Percusion Clubs - There was no better man we could have chosen as the UK's Cultural Ambassador to Buenos Aires.
PS. Without looking seedy, try and unearth some juvenile footballing prodigy - the sell-on value in Europe nowadays is phenomenal.
