I started clases at Universidad de San Andres yesterday, I have been taking the train that is 2 blocks from my apartment to school. It takes about an hour each way. The classes are really long but all we have been doing is discussion. Today we talked about the corruption in the Argentine government and the economic crisis of 2001, interesting stuff.
After class we had a tour of the city by bus. We visited all of the famous sites of the city. I found out that I am living on the same street as the Argentinean president. It is a very famous street and it goes through most of the city.
We saw the casa rosada (pink house) in la plaza de mayo. La casa rosada is the symbol of the presidency but he does not live there-it is only offices. La plaza de mayo is where many protests happen- the most famous being the mothers of los desaparecidos.
more coming later.
