More from Day 2...see previous post as well

I forgot a few important things:

1.) while i was at lunch today i witnessed a fight between two young men b/c the guy on a motorcycle cut off the guy walking. it was crazy. they just like started hitting each other in front of the resturant. it was funny b/c people around me were laughing and everyone was watching. i think one of the waiters broke it up.

2.) EVERYONE here drives like a maniac. the bus drivers literally have about 2 feet betwen them and the next car. its crazy, i dont know how they dont have more car accidents.

3.) not only do i have a time change here but they use the 24 hour clock system! its killing me. i always have to do the math to figure it out. i'm going to try and use it but i doubt it will really stick.

4.) my senora showed me a light on my bed table and said that was for my room. i then assumed that my room had no lights. so i've been sitting in the dark b/c i cant have hte light plugged in while my computer is plugged in so i've gone without light. however, i just realized that i have a real light as well. it makes things a lot easier!

5.) IES gave us these pretty sweet messenger bags BUT they plastered IES abroad all over it so that it basically screams "I'm a forienger--ROB ME!" yet they want us to blend in....????

INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY: argentine toilets are shaped different. its like they are inverted or something. also they dont have water in the bowl like we do...well maybe they have a little but you cant really see in the toilet after you've gone to the bathroom.
