Me elen ali tamara and marcelo - turns out his name is marcelo not marcel which i have been calling him the entire time - went out last night first to play some pool and ended up in power. pool was girls against boys and we lost like four times we were so terrible. me and elen drank stella and speed, the speed actually makes stella bearable. ive found Quilmes, the beer here is actually acceptable by itself even though i normally hate beer, stella however, im still not a fan of. we had lots to drink and then went to power where we had quilmes and speed. i just generally have all my drinks with speed now. in case you are concerned about me suddenly partaking in casual drug abuse -which my aunty jenny can probably give me some facts on - family joke haha- i am not, speed is just argentinas version of red bull. anyway we met lots of marcelos friends and his son and stayed out til three am and me and elen decided to head home coz we were still way tired from the night before. we got outside and realised we were starving so we found a burger cart thing and were just drunkenly shouting HAMBERGUESAAAAAA over and over again and these two guys came over and started talking to us. they were asking where we were from and why we were here etc. i.e. the normal questions we get asked when we meet strangers which we do a lot of by the way. so we explained that we are very drunk volunteers in desperate need of a burger. while the burgers were being cooked we talked to these guys and decided we were all going to be best friends and they asked for our numbers which obviously, we dont have numbers here, so we told them wed add them on facebook, so one of them gave us his card. hes called pedro. we got EXTREMELY excited because the other day i was saying how much i wanted to meet someone called pedro. we asked how old they were and pedro said he was twenty three, to which his friend just said ¨no youre not¨ and he said ok im twenty nine, his friend :¨no... your not¨ pedro : ¨its only one year off¨ friend :¨hes thirty¨ haha
we said we had to go and they offered us a lift home to which Elen said ¨STRANGER DANGER¨ and we politely declined and got in a taxi. when we got in we went on the computer to add pedro on fcebook and studied his card in more detail.
on pedros card there is a picture of a cow, and underneath is says ¨Genetica Argentina semen & embriones¨
Pedro, it would seem, is basically involved in making designer cows. we laughed at this for about ten minutes, and decided we would add him anyway, mainly so we could ask if giving people this card normally gets girls to ring him haha.
this morning we slept in and were meant to go to paraguay this afternoon but elens card has stopped working so she cant get any cash out so we are going to try with her other card later, and hopefully go to san ignacio tomorrow and paraguay another day.
im planning on spending the rest of the day bumming about, as im very tired and hungover.
also, empanadas, in case you are wondering, are just pasties.
Love,
Bethnal x
