an observation

almost everywhere i've gone in argentina, i've asked people whether they've been to buenos aires. i usually get the same answer almost everywhere i go -- porteños are boludos, very superficial, care too much about their appearance, blah, blah, blah. all in all, probably true to some extent.

just got home from being out with a friend of mine. she studied english in london for about a month with her sister. i said that next time she goes outside of the country, she should go alone so that she could practice her english. "go alone to england?!" she said. "everyone there is so cold." i told her that british people for the most part may be cold (sorry british friends lol), but there's no way everyone in england can be so cold. it'd be impossible.

one thing i've learned over the past year or so being in argentina is that no matter where you are, whether you're in london, buenos aires, chicago, new york, etc. you can always find good people. i think of all the amazing people i've met during my time in argentina and i am really thankful for this. really makes me think that i can go anywhere in the world without knowing anyone and be okay.
