Hostal de la Luna Cordoba

... big Carrefour store. For those of you who are familiar with life and culture in French suburbia, you will know what a Carrefour is. It's like a Walmart Super Center, only better of course, because, as Stephen Colbert would say, "Its French, *****." Sylvain loves going to Carrefour because its like a brisk trip to his native land. While I stayed with the bikes, he went in and joyfully returned 25 minutes later with the coveted ...

... it was time for Caro's "pre-thesis" presentation. So we went to the architecture department at the public university (they have 2 public and 3 private ones here). It was interesting to see all the final projects, although not fully finished yet, especially as they also study some landscaping. Many of them had a landscape architecture part of their projects. But I must say I appreciate my uni after seeing this. For example they don't have any facilities for drawing or ...

... sed to re*d). I write this now on the bus to Cordob* from Mendoz* (on the night bus, 5/5/9, with my new buddy J*mes from London). The crossing *t the bo*rder into Argentin* w*s * bit of * nightm*re to be honest.

... Your supposed to be everyones punching bad, what are you saying??? Things do appear to be getting dire!!! These vagabonds are leaving a mark! Cordoba was a sight for sore eyes.... Im sure many a married man was led astray here. Surrounded by beautiful people, with their noses to the sky. Handbags for show, strides well practiced, and many a clothe on credit. The sunglasses here too cover the navel, and the old women are just as deserving of a ...

... soon got the hang of it, so as well as being a social activity and a way to meet people, it was a cheap meal!! Even better were the asados, Gato, the owner of the hostel was the asado master (as most Argentine men are) and he cooked up a wide range of various tasty parts of the cows, some of them that we had not heard of before or had not seen in the steak restaurants of Buenos Aires, which we actually prefered to bife de Lomo, but the our new faves ...

... at night. Being Easter it meant that a lot of kids (16-18 year olds) were going out as well (which of course I should have known seeing as the same thing happens back home, damn those pesky kids!). This also meant that the musical repertoire would be adjusted to their taste. I would never, ever, ever, ever in my life think that I would EVER dance to Britney Spears´s ´Gimme Gimme´, but I did ...

... und dafuer mehr Wasser gibt. Im Moment kommen dort auch Schuelergruppen hin, die den Tag ueber bespasst werden. Abends gibt es manchmal Elekro-Parties. Als die Animateure mitbekommen haben, dass eine Deutsche anwesend ist, musste ich sofort auf die Buehne und irgendwas erzaehlen. Unangenehm. Da sassen bestimmt 200 Kinder davor.

... they want to change their flight. Wonder whats going on on the other end of the phone. Well Kieran got his flight changed. He is now leaving Nov 3rd, so he is technically now on borrowed time. Time to celebrate. What a great town. Seriously this town is addictive. I have come across so many people that are just 'stuck' here. They have moved out of the hostel and now have an apartment. I wonder when I will just confess to myself that I don't ...

... and so in love with a guy before - he was my saver, my hero, my everything! and than the door opened, the photographer went first and before I could think my last thoughts - I was flying in the sky! It was amazing! I never did something more fun than that! We were actually flying in the sky for 30 seconds and than the parachute opened and we traveled in the sky - amazing! I couldn't erase the smile from my face all day :)

... get woken up by the phone, run across the house and the phone stops ringing? Cordoba. What about the struggle when you finally get 5 minutes for lunch, go downstairs and find that only those ****ing curried egg sandwiches are left? Cordoba. Getting a mosquito bite on your little toe? Cordoba. The kind of struggle where the best thing to do is talk about Mariah Carey's career? Cordoba = Struggletown. A formal application to change its name will be made this afternoon ...
