After i arrived on friday we basically just chilled out in the apartment and unpacked and chatted. yesterday - saturday - me and elen had our orientation around eleven which basically we chatted to Veronica - our in country coordinator and landlady, and she went through the rules, what we´ll be doing at our project turn off all the lights when you leave the house, dont have boys to sleep round etc.etc. lol. then we went on a tour round the city in Veroncias husband Marcels car. then we vegged out again and then around four me and elen decided to go into the city to the paraguayan market which we got totally lost trying to find. then after that we went into loads of cute little shops with random stuff in and i bought an argentinian flag to get everyone that i meet to write on as a memorable type thing. then we tried to find the mall and got a bit lost and i asked - in spanish woop - this man and he understood me and everything and told us where to go. then we went to a fruit shop and i bought loads and loads of fruit for like one pound fifty equivalent so that was good. and then we tried to walk back to our house thinking we remembered where it was but we didnt and we looked on the map and everything but there was no road signs anywhere so i went to a little shop thing and got the map and asked where we were and he didnt understand for ages then he told us it was four blocks down. it felt liked wed walked around for hours but we found it eventually. then we had dinner and around half eleven - after a power nap - we went to play pool at a bar with me elen - welsh girl- hyunjin -korean guy- alli - scottish guy- and marcel. then we went to power which is the BIGGEST club ive ever seen its got like twelve different rooms its ridiculous. we stayed there til about four then we came home and today we just chilled and just now we walked to the riverside to watch the sunset but then the sunset was behind all these buildings so we just sat and drank milkshake and played cards. then we got a taxi back here because my flip flops have made big holes in my feet. yum.
i think this weekend me and elen are gonna go to paraguay - a short busride over the bridge - to see what its like and there are some ruins around 30km away from the city. and another weekend we are gonna go to the iguazu falls im way way excited :P
ive heard all the flights from the UK have been cancelled coz of the ash from iceland . that sucks so much and ive been really really lucky i think i got out the country just in time. a few hours later and id still be stuck in england.
hope all of you that are stuck in random places and cant get anywhere are doing ok..
Love,
