one of the first evenings we attempted to spend together in spite of those pesky vegetarians. definitely not a country for people who don't expect every single thing they order to be covered in ham, whether the description of the food specifies or not. i tried to tell my host family that the quantity of ham here surprises me because i thought argentina was known for its beef, and they keep arguing and saying there isn't that much. i mean, my bad, maybe i'm the only person confused by fried steak covered in ham.

and another thing: why did no one tell me buses don't stop unless you hurl yourself into the street and flail your arms? i seriously was beginning to think they just didn't stop for foreigners.
