caturday

i think nicky is doing a write-up of colonia stuff, so i wont go to much into the details of that. except that it was really nice to get out of the city. i dont hate bigt cities but i dont think i am ever going to live downtownish in one for an extended period of time. buenos aires is nice, but it feels cramed to me because there is not much visible sky and also because the buildings have no space in between eachother. every shop, hotel, store, restaurant on a block, share walls with the adjacent buildings. i guess the crampdness makes sense because the city is a walking one.
but anyways, getting out to the short buildinged and open colonia was awesome, and getting close to the sea, however cold, was a nice break.

also, on the way back from the colonia on the express boat, we were getting peeped really hard. it happens here more than any place its ever happened to me in the world. i dont think people are even ashamed of it, its just natural. so like, nicky and i catch people peeping us or the other all the time. guys girls, whatever. its strange, and pretty funny.

also, an overview of the hostel, which we have been staying in. we found some rooms that were not as cold and cheaper as well, so thats been pretty solid. but the people staying here are pretty priceless. one calls herself the breakfast bitch, and i thought it was funny at first, but then it wasnt. because she was serious. she got super drunk the first night, and not funny drunk. just loud and in your face and annoying. so we werent really feeling that. also she is crazy and british which makes it way worse, because you cant even understand what she is shouting at you half the time.
but there are two awesome british couples there as well, who seem fairly embarassed by her and are really nice to us, so thats good too. we impersonate their accents and they do the same, one guy is particularly acute in his representation of american mannerisms and intonations.

ps, alison if you read this you better wait for harry potter, because we didnt watch it and watched some bad jon travolta movie instead. your promise is now public, and if you break it, your mom and her friends will know and you will be grounded
