We have drawn the prettiest teacher in the school for our last week, so all the Chico's are trying hard whilst the Chica's just roll their eyes into the top of their heads.
My time at the top will be short lived as we have some new students from Switzerland and Brazil, it is clearly no longer a level playing field as they more or less spoke Spanish before they got here.Not only that the Aussies have decided to give their livers a break for a few days.It is interesting that all the students are really nice friendly people & luckily they all speak good english.
Two of the Aussies reported back from their weekend in Uraguay (an hour across the River Plate by fast ferry). They looked around a bit, had dinner and hit the town at 10:00pm. The place was deserted, so they asked a barman "whats up mate?" he told them to come back later as it was too early......."ok, what time 12:00"? No no no - try 2:00am!!!So they got some sleep and went to town at 2:00 am - it was heaving. More amazingly was that the Bands dont start playing until about 3:30 am. These people need to go to BST or something.Wilks Punte Del Est is the place apparently.
Hey Delbert
ReplyDeletePunta del Este indeed is the place to be - I was there 12years ago, just before the crisis and it was the poshest place I ever have seen. Meat however was cheap and excellent and my mate and my selft had 2 pounds of paradilla every evening (no high society invitees...the plane which carried us was too big, they fancy guys in smaller planes)
Cheers from Switzerland - que te portes bien en la escuela gas&friends
I will hopefully savour all that P D E has to offer about this time next year when i hope to complete my circumnavigation of S. America.
DeleteWhen did you have your first heart attack?
Yo me comporto, pero no me ayuda a aprender
Sounds as if the language lessons are a good environment and going well. Your modesty on that subject was misplaced (mind you, I should have realised this was so when you talked about conjugating herbs) - did the Ozzies think this was some form of outback cooking?
ReplyDeleteOne more week then the trip begins?? Have you completed the route revision or simply had a small fuel trailer built and hooked to the Bimmer (with a secret compartment for the Iron cross).
Cheers, Henry.
Hola Henry y Clara
ReplyDelete(it has taken me over a week to learn how to do that).
The Aussies seem to think that Cerveza is a full stop as it appears at the end of all their sentences.
No hard and fast route but i think i am going to go via Mar Del Plata - 4 hours drive and fuel stops along the way. I will have ot choose route carefully when i head across the Pampas or i may be trying to hook the bike to a couple of Llamas!
Any news on the other business?

ReplyDeleteThe Moose is Loose! It is a long time since we had a pint of Moosehead. For some reason they call a pint a "chop" here - so i dont know how many brits have ben surprised with a beer rather than a Pork dinner. i hope you are keeping the wheels of industry turning (have you been skiing in the USA yet?). Love to all
