I have had alot of fun watching the soccer games at various venues during the last few weeks. Most notably the 'fan park' where they have set up a huge screen TV and every crams onto the hill so close that during the Argentina games sitting down is definately impossible, it is free to the public and there is always lots of public there. Usually the aroma of tabacco smoke, human bodies, and marijuana smoke makes for an interesting time but the passion and constant jumping and cheering make it worth it!
The other night we also all went out for karaoke for a Birthday. It was my first time karaoking and was alot of fun.
This is my last post as such I would like to thank you all for all the help and support that made my whole trip possible. I look forward to sharing more stories than I have elaborated here with you.
This last few weeks consisted of final projects/exams and the world cup. Now that I have finished all my classes my days pretty much focus around great soccer games with passionate crowds. I am happy to report that as of now it looks like I have passed all my classes and actually done quite well.
As I continue the process of saying goodbye to people that I have met over the last 4 months here I am excited to see my loved ones in the States but I will miss Argentina.
A special shout out to Jordon, who after 6 months of travelling has shown himself to be a great friend. He was there to make fun times funner and during the hard times too.
