yay! i´m here...it´s september 7 here and september 8 back in the philippines.later this afternoon i will be going to my hostfam in tucuman...tucuman, that´s a province in argentina..this very moment, i´m here seated in front of señor pablo´s computer here inside the AFS argentina national office located in buenos aires.my flight was tiring... from manila to frankfurt has been 16 hours then i stayed at frankfurt for about 15hours then from frankfurt to buenos aires has been 15 hours...tiring. yeah...but it was cool.i can see the clouds from above.the cumulus clouds look like cotton candy... the cirrus clouds seem like you entered some sort of a hazy illusion...it was totally cool.from manila to frankfurt, my seatmate was a filipina...she´s going to italy to work.from frankfurt to buenos aires, there were no more filipinos...my seatmate then was a guy who speaks in german and spanish and nothing else...that was sort of difficult since i can only speak a little spanish...and he is fond of speaking in german..so what happened is that he speaks in german plus hand motions and i answer in spanish plus hand motions...weird right? but that´s the way we talk since he doesn´t know english...i just finished eating lunch..the food was called ¨GNOCCI¨ in italy and ¨ñOQUI¨ in argentina,,,different spellings but same pronunciation.it is pronounced as ¨nyoki¨we´re talking about pasta here.but the pasta itself is very VERY different from the pasta back there...the pasta of ñoqui is made of smashed potatoes and shaped like a flattened cylinder...and the meat... the meat are not bite-sized...the taste is nice. but i got full really fast... i don´t know why.btw, señor pablo told me not to call him señor anymore since he´s young. he told me to pay respect to everyone and call them sir and señor...except for him.he´s just 23... so i guess what he told me was acceptable.what else can i say? hmm...nothing.so, till here!
