Today, my exchange student (Chamo) and I woke up at noon and ate asado for lunch which is an traditional Argentinian barbecue with beef and pork. Then afterwards we walked and took a bus into the city of Buenos Aires with some of our friends to Chinatown. We spent a few hours before taking the bus back to Escobar where we all stayed for a few hours playing videogames and eating more asado to end the day. –Derek
To kick off the day, I had a classic Argentinean breakfast of toast and dulce de leche. Soon after, we met with some friends and embarked on an exciting trip to China Town. We explored the lively streets, shopped around, and I got to practice my Spanish. It was an interesting moment that truly pushed my Spanish-speaking skills. Ordering food and buying souvenirs in Spanish felt like a personal triumph. We ended the day with a group dinner and gathering. I’m filled with anticipation for the days ahead and eager to see what else is in store for us. –Milena
