... BMW which had been flashing on and off since Lima in Peru. Even though the brakes seemed to work fine, it's always a little disconcerting to have your vehicle constantly flashing "brake failure!" at you as you drive at high speeds and down mountain passes.<br><br>As you may know Sylvain and I are on this trip primarily because we<br>want to find a new place to live. We are doing this trip to see the<br>world but more importantly ...

I have had some nice and relaxing days...<br><br>The barbeque, or "asado", was something special. It takes around 3 hours to make it. Apparently all houses here have this special fireplace which looks like a square shaped hole in a brick wall. It has a grating hanging around 20 cm from the bottom. On one side of the bars you put the firewood, and on the other side the meat. When the wood burns down, pieces of hot charcoal fall down, and you move them under the meat. In this way ...

... more than a ****ing rum recepticle, owning about as much cultural tact as Genghis Khan. Stop wearing your ****ing wife beaters and footy shorts out in the minus 25 degree winter to prove how much of a man you are. Stop scratching your nuts every 2 seconds and put down the toothpick....actually keep chewing on it and choke yourslef..... Stop saying "we`re stryan.. thats what we do" Start learning the word for hello in another langauge Stop ...

... a really great hostel - all the staff and owners were so friendly and welcoming, and there were lots of nice people staying there at the same time as us. So it was really social, and many evenings we would sit around, chatting over some beers, empanadas or an asado. Every week the hostel organised an empanada evening, where they provided all the ingredients , and then taught you how to make them , a little more complicated than you would thing, but ...

After leaving Santiago I headed for the second biggest city in Argentina, Cordoba. Mostly famed for it´s student nightlife I was very keen to explore this city. On my arrival I discovered that being ´the second biggest city´ means nothing since it is considerably smaller than my second love Buenos Aires ( New York being number 1). I therefore decided to only spent 1 night and get myself a.s.a.p ...

Auf den Fotos von meinem Praktikum sind jetzt auch mal meine Kollegen zu ...

Where are you?' Cordoba baby, Cordoba. Stephan, Kieran and I could hardly help laughing our asses off on the other side of the phone. Could you imagine only having 25 Aussie dollars left in your bank account, you are supposed to go home in less than two days (after ...

... Zona, than I understood that I wasn't going to jump this day... so we dated for the day after. The day after it was raining all day... so I didn't jumped and we dated for the next day - Thursday. I woke up early to see how is the sky and it was gray and windy... and the guide called the hostel to tell me not to come cause it was too windy. But than, as we were eating our breakfast the phone rang and the reception ...

... and when I get home there will be lots of red cordial shots happening!) and then just banter and whatever. That this was all in Spanish was even more interesting. I did get most of the jokes, but some did fly straight on over, but then that is normal for me. These two Spanish guys were quite crazy. Loco is the word. Son locos. They would say "Fondo blanco" and then everyone would have to skull their drink. I refused to skull my last glass of Coke and people were ...
