Week 4 & 5 Buenos Aires

I am in my fifth week in Argentina now.  Where does time go?  Just a short post for the moment.  I need to study.

Last week, I was doing some work on the game project and using a desk at my friend Steve's studio.  

And also last week, I went to see some awesome Jazz at the "Vaca Profana".  The name would translate as the "swearing cow".  I went with Cristian my guitar teacher, his wife Susannah and some of their friends and with Steve. These guys played very well.  I had not been to a jazz concert in ages.  It is quite something to watch them on stage as they do what they did; it was like watching a conversation taking place on stage and I did not quite understand what was being said but I liked it.  The band was led by Ernesto Snajer.

And this week, I have been on a Spanish class.  We meet each day for 4 days and we walk around parts of the city.  The idea is that you learn Spanish and use it right away.  Part of it would mean going up to people on the street and ask questions like where is so & so street.  I will have more to say on that later.  Yesterday, we were in Palermo Viejo.  It was such a nice day; it is getting more humid here.
