So it´s been a really long time since I´ve written--again.
I´ve since moved to a different host family in San Isidro (a barrio in northern Buenos Aires, Ar). I was having some problems with my host mom in Uruguay (she was a bitch, basically) so AFS shipped me here. Things have improved A LOT. I really like my family here--mom, dad, sister (Pilar-15), and two brothers (Lars-11, Oliver-5). They´re so nice and I´m getting along with them soo much better than my last family. Pilar is super cool--we hang out and talk all the time. Anyway AFS hasn´t found me a school to go to here yet, so I don´t know if I´ll be able to stay here. I hope I can though because things are going really well.
I´ve been here about a week now, and since I´ve had a lot of free time I´ve been going into Buenos Aires centro a lot to meet up with other exchange students. I went to la Feria de Libros which is the biggest book fair in Latin/South America--it was super nerdy but super cool. All these artists and authors speak there too, and I went to go see Marta Minujin (look her up) who is this INSANE performance artist (ie: she dropped a bunch of live chickens out of a plane, built a parthanon out of books, etc.). I´ve also done some shopping in Palermo which is like THE shopping district in Bs As (although I didn´t buy anything...except a Borges book haha).
Anyways, not much else is new.
Another update in another month or so probably haha....
