uruguay continuted..

this morning was one of those, when you just want your mom to kiss you and tell you that you don't have to go to school today..i dont know why, it just was. too bad that didnt happen to me :) I went to the supermarket yesterday so this morning i had a great breakfast and was prepared foodwise for the rest of the day! Anyways, I want to continue with uruguay adventures so that you all can know our about our great moments there. So, I started to explain about Leila, the woman saturated in politics..quite the interesting character-she is divorced, doesnt have a lot of money, is older, and super mad about the US being the way it is..therefore she moved, and is trying to decide where to live, uruguay or argentina..she picked uruguay because the politics "are stable there" haha i mean they are somewhat but its just funny reasoning. We also met a man named matais who was from Germany but has been living in Cordoba for seven months now. He wants residence but doesnt have it so he had to take a leave from the country just to be able to renew his tourist visa. He works with the German INstitute about culture or something..i guess germany needs to make their culture known to south america?? anyways, he was nice to chat with. Then we met another american to the mix, Andrew, who spoke almost no spanish who was there in montevideo working on the computers that all the school kids have. Apparently every child in school has one of these alien looking labtops that are theirs to keep and they always have internet because they can grap it from another one of their friends laptops whose near..sounds strange but they were funny little things. The idea behind this is, well its a non profit organization who funds it, and when the kids cant make it to school because buses dont function or something tragic, they can just read their books and submit things via their notebooks.. this organization is called something like one computer for every child.. interesting. One other thing interesting about Andrew is that he went to a boarding high school and lived there..its called north carolina school of sciences..a magnet school but basically he just lived one big party for high school..a strange concept for me...i wouldnt dare want to LIVE high school! One of the owners was brazilian who was in uruguay studying spanish..very nice guy. WE also met 3 other girls there, hannah, kelsey and maggie who had just graduated high school and were touring south america..talk about being brave..man! Quinten was a new comer as we were heading out for the day but he was from france traveling all over studying various countries politics. WE had a nice breakfast in which most of the people jsut mentioned ate and chatted.. some of the interesting conversations were about: woofing- working on organic farms all over for free!, caretakers.org is a website to find out where you can watch peoples houses all over the world and get paid for it..
