Death Taxi

This morning the rain stopped long enough for us to go to the refuge and take the kids to the poli for a while. A lady that works at the refuge was there and she gave all the kids some chalk and they drew everywhere it was really funny. it was also ali and hyunjins last day so everyone was taking photos and posing. i took quite a few photos because dad said he wanted to see some of the kids so there was lots of attention grabbing and posing and arguing ¨PRINT ME THAT PICTURE¨ ¨BRING IT TOMORROW YES??¨ hehe. it started to rain so we took the kids back and i played with the youngest baby there. she is so cute and absolutley tiny and seemed to think my face was hilarious haha. i found out some more stuff about the refuge aswell, the food is supplied by the local government and they have plenty for each child for breakfast lunch and dinner so nobody ever goes hungry. there are around 60 kids there in all but ive only ever seen around thirty at one time, some visit their parents, or go to school in the mornings. the woman who runs it works their full time for nothing, and her parents were the ones who opened it. there are two young babies there, one of which is the daughter of a lady who as far as i can understand, was raised there and now lives there but helps run it. the other babies mother is just someone who couldnt cope with supporting the baby so gave her to the refuge.
it started to chuck it down again while we were there so we got a taxi home, as we were driving along - he was driving like a maniac like everyone does - i thought, oo, its getting a bit chilly in here, and i noticed lots of people were beeping behind us, so i looked around and the boot had flown open while we were going along, so i started shouting ¨boot!!boot!!¨ and ali, who was sitting in the front was going ¨what are you talking about boots for, do you want to go shopping? its raining.¨ by then hyunjin and elen had realised and we were all shouting booootttt !!at the driver until he realised and pulled over. he had to tell hyunjin to get out of the car so he could fix the boot.. which he did... WITH A PIECE OF WIRE . he just looped this pathetic peice of wire around the bit thats supposed to lock the boot and the boot floor. we were all going what the crappppp. this is so dangerous no wonder it flew open!! because the weather was so terrible people were driving worse than normal because they couldnt see anything. i swear we nearly crashed like ten times lol. but we made it out alive and i ate lunch, siesta´d, read, lost my camera cable, found my camera cable, uploaded some photos to facebook, printed some photos for the kids on my baby printer, my camera died and now its charging, so il upload more later!! i also emailed my mother shamelessly begging her to post me a hoody, leggins, one of my flowery tops and my skirt to go out in. haha. its colder, and more sociable than i thought here. unfortunatley i dont have a mac at home so may have to buy an argentinian one!!!
i think as its the boys last night we are going to play pool and then to a pub :P
