3 weeks down and time is still flying by! I only have one more week of spanish lessons which is scary but I have moved into a better class so hopefully I will pick it up quicker this week! I had two tango lessons this week which were so much fun but quite difficult. I went to a Milonga on Wednesday which is a tango club with an incredible band and amazing dancers. My friend and I had a go but were pretty rubish! I found this great group called Spanglish which is where english people who want to learn spanish and argentinians who want to learn english meet up and it is a bit like speed dating! You get put on tables with one spanish person and one english person and speak for 5 mins in each language then switch around. It is so much fun and I have met lots of really nice people through it. There is still masses more to see here and I am constantly seeing new museums and areas which I love. It is such an interesting place.

I have been to the little school we help out in a couple of times this week which has been good. I start my project with HIV orphans next week which I am really looking forward to because I much as I am loving the constant parties and meeting people I can´t wait to see more than just the cosmopolitan city.

We have just got back from Tigre which is a small town just outside BA where four of us went to stay with a man who invited us over for the weekend as an escape from the city. It was really nice to get away and relax although the weather this weekend has been horrible! xxxxx

This week has flown by! I have still been doing my spanish lesson which are going well and my spanish is getting there slowly but surely! I have been going to the little creche round the corner from where I live with my friend Michaela for an hour or so after school which has been really fun and good for my spanish as no one speaks english. Yesterday I went to a Boca match which was awesome, sadly we lost 2,0 but the atmosphere was still amazing; constant singing and dancing! It is very hot at the moment, about 35 degrees so I am trying to stay in the shade! I met some tree-huggers the other day doing some sort of protest so I´m going to see where they live today which should be fun! I´m loving Buenos Aires and I´m having such a great time!

Hope everyone is alright xxxx

Hello!!

I am a week into my spanish school and I think I´m improving! I´m having such a good time being able to freely explore the city which is so interesting. I have mets so many other travellers and there are always people to go out with or to explore with which is so much fun. I am speaking lots of different languages as there are people from all over the world here. Here is a photo of the language school...the outside is quite alot nicer than the inside!

Hope everyone reading this is well and happy! xxxxx

Hi everyone!!

Im here in Buenos Aires and everything has worked out which I cant quite believe! I got picked up from the airport and taken to my host family where 4 of us are staying. A really nice Danish girl who is doing my course and two older women. The flat is really sweet and excentric but a perfect place to stay with an amazing shower!

Yesterday Michaela and I went exploring which is great and just wandered around the city trying to get our bearings. We has supper for about 3quid with wine and everything in a little restaurant. This morning we started the spanish school which is really central. I amin a beginners class with a couple of english boys and some sweedish girls.

I cant wait to get to know the city properly and explore around it....there is so much to see and do and I cant wait to start!

I hope everything is well with you and that there is not too much snow in england! Im sunburt already, its soooo hot here!!
