thick clouds,long lines in the market, expensive shitty shitty coffee, really tastey meat, and other things

it's always a funny thing to find out that the coffee you ordered in a cafe (stated " the best coffee we have") turns out to be $12 pesos $4 US, its a double shot short Americano style, and tastes like burnt cat food tamped to perfection. It is an Issue!!.... I think the Buses in sud america rule the road, it is amazing that you don't see dead bodies on the sides of the road everyday , Motorcycles mob in between traffic while not wearing helmets and not once have i seen a car crash or an accident, its actually amazing to me. I have taken the Subte twice, its just like any other subte, oh yea they call it the "subte", and there are old guys, young women, tiny children, and teens trying to sell princess sticker packets, tape messures,screw drivers, other tools, rubber bouncy balls, belts, socks, little toy trucks, this is not just on the subte but on the street as well, hats, carmelized peanuts out of a little cart, camera memory cards, shoes, magazines, flowers, vegitables, fruit, jewlery, and much much more. Well eating food is really inexpensive, you can get BeeF of all cuts in the COTO's or the DISCO's the big supermarkets, from nice steak cuts to intestines, liver, Brain, heart, tounge, kidney, eyes, stomache, and im not an expert on the cow cuts but there are 23 cuts of nice meat in the Carnicerias, I made a hamburger yester day it felt good.. the money looks like play money and flyes out of your pocket with ease, but you never seem to spend that much it just feels like you are, 2 pesos 5 pesos 20 pesos 50 pesos 100 pesos,
20 pesos is $5.00 US. and you can buy 2 pounds of nice meat for 15 to 20 pesos, and go out to a Parilla Grill and get a shit tun of meat, salad and beer, for 30 pesos. maskeeters are always bizzy buggin you, but the wind rushes them off in the middle of the day, when it rains it really rains then the streets are dry from the wind in no time, its not really strong wind its just a constant nice breeze. sunny day all day today, we set up a slack line in a park and people stopped and watched and little kids ran under the line , limbo. I like empanadas, little flakey bread pockets filled with beef and cheese and olives, or chicken, or cheese and tomato, everyone makes um a little different but its a cheap little snack. $2.50 to 4.00 pesos yumms. to the tumms. I went to a dance club that was wild, it was a ware house, turned into a dance club, loud bumpin techno dancy music, broken glass everywhere you step, packed to the teeth, $10 peso beers 12 oz, at the store you can get a 32 oz beer for $4 pesos. dance. sweat. go deaf. try and speak spanish. french. english. and leave at 5 in the morning, yea its not somthin I would do regularly, i know many people here do, every day. but sunday, well maybe even sunday. i heard Little kids chant at recess in a school yard and it sounded pleasent.
Birds chirp to wake you up at 6 in the morning or to put you to sleep if thats when you finally get home. thats a little bit i need to write more but i need to eat so im gona eat
ciao ciao
