Wow lots to catch up on! Friday night simon (agus's brother), richard and I headed to one of simon's friend's, martín, house for his birthday party. So we sat around with his friends and drank beer, ate pizza, listened to music and chatted. Its seriously tough to understand when they are all talking in a group since first you have to get over the weird accent and different verb endings and then there is all the slang they use on top of that!! Had a really great ...

My time on wednesday was mainly split between babysitting classes, there are a lot of absent teachers at the moment for some reason, and playing lego with the smaller ones. I feel a lot like a bouncer when I am sitting in on classes since its pretty hard keeping them all in one place! I also feel like I have been the butt of quite a lot of jokes since when the kids talk amongst themselves i...

In the evening Richard, Alan and I went to a Casino on the waterfront. Before we went in we decided that we would pool our winnin...

I was met by Marcela, one of the owners of the school, who enthusiastically gave me a driving tour of the city. The overwhelming theme of the tour was beaches, parks and bars definitely a good sign! There had been a slight change of plan with my accommodation since Alan, a New Zeala...

Its been an eventful first 24 hours of the trip and not least because of the normally mundane journey to the airport. I phoned TFL earlier in the day and they told me to leave an hour to get from Kings Cross to Heathrow on the tube so, admittedly already running a little late, I hopped on a tube at 4.30pm. I first began to get a little edgy at around 5.15pm having realised we still were not anywhere really remotely near Heathrow and from this point on I was lit...
