Hostel Day 1
O.K. I'm still with holding judgement but I have to say that this Hostel isn't that bad. Based on my expereince so far I really have nothing bad to say. All the people that I have met (5 from Brazil and 1 from Ecudor) have been really nice. All of them speak some English, Spanish and Portgeese. I went to a little bar with two of and had two draft beers (3.50$ U.S. each) in a super cool sports bar. Then I ate dinner with two of the others. I let them use my adapter and lap top to check their e mail. I really think they saw this as an olive branch of peace (it was). They gave me the low down. Basically they said to watch my things espically my laptop. Over dinner I got to sit down and talk with them. I was very suprised to know that many of the hopes and dreams they have for themselves match my own. They know about sociolgists that I have never heard of and books I have never heard of! They are mostly staying in Argentina because it is cheeper than Brazil. One girl worked as a translator for some govermental agency. I'm gald they are my roommates and I hope nothing happens to change my mind.
