No mas español (no more spanish). We are now officially on holidays having finished up our Spanish studies.

In addition to helping us try and make some sense of the subjunctive, our school proved to be a great way to meet fellow travellers as it organised weekly social events. This included drinks at Milion, an old mansion which has been transformed into a trendy bar and restaurant.

We were a little confused by the process for ordering drinks which required you to line up at the cashier to pay while at the same time the cashier was trying to manage all the bills from the restaurant. Then once you had your ticket you could proceed to line up at the bar until you were served. It was a long time between drinks and the more dependent among us (mainly Australians, British and Americans) could not wrap their heads around such inefficiency.

After Milion, we headed to a club where our fellow students received a lot of attenion from the porteños for their raunchy 'American' booty shakin. Argentinian youth, and this has been widely commented on, just don´t throw themselves into it.
