It's hard work.. but someones got to do it!
Some body please find me a bottle of freaky deaky champagne and a cake! Pop the cork and do a twirl
after a couply months in Argentina knocking about with the locals, with no real "appropriate" life behaviours applied I have managed to last here a wee while and well at times it has been really really hard... I know it seems pretty breezy but I have had my shear of tears that I couldn't hold back - awkward times where I couldn't understand a thing! And let me tell you, it still happens. BUT I will never forget my friend Zoe's advice when she left me in Colombia... the first month alone will be hard and then it will get better if you can just get through that! and you know what she is right! Traveling was fun times but you are always moving, everything is sugarcoated (with wine!), it's when you decide to settle in a place with a foreign language and customs that the "rose tinted" perception of the place fades away.
Even though I had been to Argentina three times prior to this time, only now do I feel I am gaining any real perspective on the place for better and for worse I still love her and hold her very close to my bosom. ANYWAYS... what I am trying to say was... man it feels so good to be away from the pressures of my NZ self - "The Career" etc etc etc... those pressures that keep you awake at night and niggle at you like a hungry mouse on a bar of soap. There is something nice about working in a job talking "English" with people all day long about their country, my country, their customs, our customs and then wondering the streets just looking and thinking and processing life. Shit is good. But I digress, the point of all this was...
