Today we watched a movie in spanish called Aparencias (Appearances) about a man who likes a woman who has a boyfriend - she thinks he is gay, so he pretends to be gay to hang out with her. It was weird, a couple funny moments, but overall meh.
After class, we went to the Ecological Reserve with Frederic (german in our class), Martin (english guy in our class), and 3 brazilian girls from our classes. Before we entered the reserve, they had some really cheap and delicious hamburgers (4 pesos, with a ton of crazy toppings - mini french fries, and a lot of other stuff I didn't know). Anyhow it was a lot of walking - but when we got to the Rio del Plata - which seemed like the ocean, it was quite beautiful. (Sorry I didn't have my camera)
Anyhow, the swine flu is getting pretty serious down here. The minister of health resigned because of his lack of action, and the mayor of Buenos Aires has cancelled classes at all the schools and universities for the next two weeks to keep people from going out and stuff. Several brazilians have gone back to Brazil (but they think their news over exaggerates the situation). Also Maddy Hamilton is going back to the states on Saturday because of the swine flu. We think most of the fear is exaggerated, and it doesn't seem that bad.
