This is a picture of my abuela (grandmother). That's her holding a bottle of Quilmes (the beer everyone drinks here). She is a lively old lady who still enjoys cooking... though few of my cousins actually enjoy eating what she cooks (they call it "feo")
This is a pic with one of my cousins and nieces whom I'm staying with. They had just taken me shopping cuz I needed to buy some warmer clothes, as I had only brought summer wear with me and its freakin' freezing over here. They're girly girls who take hours to get ready, are always on their cell phones texting, and watching their telenovelas (same as me!). My cousin to my right is Veronica, and she has a myspace type of site: http://www.fotolog.com/verito_86_ntr My niece is furthest right, she's named Estefanie. I play Uno and a game called Chancho (that I plan to convert into a drinking game) with them daily, along with some of my other cousins, and I end up laughing so hard and so much that my ab muscles are actually sore the next day.
This is a pic of my cousins (the white girl in the back is a friend of theirs) watching one of their favorite shows: The Flavor of Love! Flava Flaaaaaav! I dunno if you can see Flav in the pic, but you can make out his big ol' clock on the tv screen. They like alot of american tv shows, but they get them a little later (they hadn't heard of 'Charm School' and 'I Love New York', but sure are eager to see them). They also love youtube. We went into their room and we watched some vids, including that drag queen (Brittany Houston) remake of the music video 'Lip Gloss', which they loooove. In fact the little one in the pic above dances to it and does and impression of the drag queen in the video (which I recorded and am gonna youtube soon, it is sooo funny).
Click on the pic above to see a widescreen photo of a dinner at my Tia Maria's house. They drink alot of Coke here, the one bottle of water in the pic was just for me. Oh and the one boy my age in the background isn't family... like I said I'm one of the few!
Lastly, here is a clip of a very famous Argentinean movie "Esperando la Carroza." We watched it on youtube and I could barely catch any of the punchlines... but maybe you'll have more luck.
Oh and an odd sighting: have any of you ever heard of 'McDonald's Kosher'? Me neither, but it exists here. Here is a pic to prove it! You know McDonald's delivers here too? Pretty much every place does here. You can't get that in the USA!
