Bienvenidos

Hey everyone,
I am finally in Buenos Aires, and it is an amazing city! There is so much to do it´s overwhelming. So far I have just been getting settled in. My host family is an old retired couple , and they speak no English. I was really surprised by how well I was able to communicate with them. Also, almost no one around the city speaks English as well; so I should be able to speak Spanish really well by the time I return to the states. Getting a cell phone was probably the most difficult experience thus far because I do not completely understand the terms and guidelines of buying the phone in Spanish; my roommate and I spend almost two hours attempting to buy phones yesterday and we cannot get them to work. Communicating with other students is difficult so far because not everyone has a phone to call to meet up, and I do not have access to internet at my house. After a couple of weeks, everything will be a lot easier though. Also the nightlife is really cool here! I met some Argentinian girls at a bar the other night, some who spoke English and were willing to help with my Spanish. I will be posting pictures as soon as the rain lets up so I can bring my computer out!
