It’s a lifestyle

Last night we went for dinner with our school class in a restaurant in Las Canitas called Las Cholas, a pretty standard Argentine parilla. It was good fun.

A lady from another class, Jenny, also joined us. She’s about 55 and has been travelling all around South America by herself for 6 months. Now she’s learning Spanish before starting the next 6 months. Quite impressive really. She’s off to Patagonia to go camping next.

School today was good, we’re doing quite a bit of revision in advance of Friday’s exam. Estefanía, our teacher, seems to think it will be quite easy, I’m not so sure.

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
