Bye Bye Jason


Last night was Jason's last night in Buenos Aires. We went out for dinner again. This time we went low key and went to 1810 for some regional cooking. I have lentejas again, Jason had the locro and Chris had some sort of meat pie thing. All very delicious indeed.

School is going quite well, I have a new teacher this week and the class is very small, only 3 of us. I have paid for one more week, but think I might stay another one and complete the level at least. We will see. I am totally the worst in the class but I don't care too much.

It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. 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...
