Day 1

So I'm fairly certain that was THE longest flight of my life from Dallas to Buenos Aires. In total, including Seattle to Dallas, 24 whopping hours. Business class from Dallas to Buenos Aires = awesome. FREE drinks (alcohol included), a 4 course meal, and reclining seats... not like I actually slept with all the turbulence, or the fact that I'm fairly certain it's just impossible to actually get a good nights sleep in any kind of airplane seat. Customs was super smooth, got my bags, paid (probably) way too much for a taxi and spent an hour in traffic getting to my host family's house. My host parents are really nice, quite funny. There are a lot of students living here, the host family basically runs a "residencia para estudiantes" or residence for students. I've met 4 people so far, 2 of which have been here since January and leaving this weekend. But we're going out tonight and they're going to show me around the neighborhood: in English, thankfully, so I actually know where I am and how to get places (the accent here is very odd). I NEEEEED to sleep so bad but I can't fall asleep, plus I want to be able to sleep tonight. I'm having quite a difficult time standing up straight, probably because I was sitting for HOURS on end and have intense jet lag. Beware, if you travel this long, to a country in which it actually takes effort to carry on a conversation, your brain will be overloaded and confused to the point where your English doesn't even come out quite right. haha. So far so good though. :)
