Picking American Combination Lock

visit

I've got and that last weekend. And that made me
Leoni from Freiburg, who was just in Rio de Janeiro, visited over the weekend here in Buenos Aires. We have made quite a lot zsuammen tourism programs. In this way, I learned the city once again seeing in a totally different side. On Thursday evening we are at first just walking around in the city and have something to eat and watched the great Obelisk and Plaza de Mayo. Both are the main attractions of the city.
are On Friday wr then geschledert through San Telmo, a neighborhood that in its way very reminiscent of Italy, is also designed very much to tourists. In the evening we went a little walking around the harbor, which was a little scary. On the whole, Buenos Aires, a city in which I feel really safe. Right now it's just a shame that it gets dark so early in the evening and we therefore can not do much. In any Case, we have learned that evening with two Brazilians, we know in Lenois Hostel, is assumed. The next day we
are then pulled around in Palermo, the senior student district here in Buenos Aires. That was very nice, especially because one has seen many families and young people on the streets. In addition, there were also many nice shops Desinger, which were of course more expensive than normal, but our relationship is still quite cheap.
are On Sunday, we drove first to a German and four Brazilian makers in a town just outside of Buenos Aires, and there have a boat tour through some of the LaPlata Delta made. Then we have two Museums and the Feria, a kind of craft market, looked at.
the evening we round off the weekend with a karaoke night at the hostel. We even met three German this time, that we spent the evening. So I had a total of
a really nice, albeit hard weekend, here in Buenos Aires.
Now I'm only here this week, and on Saturday, we go for me and Sasha, my Mitfreiwilligen, in our project. I am now even better than it, because life in such a large group but is really nice too, but in the long run simply too tough. With the English I also ziemlcih good progress but it will take a while until it can really do.
The next time I sign it with the first impressions of the project.

How To Use My Sbi Debit Card

authorities and group pictures

Hello,
this time I am writing only a shorter review, simply because so much has happened yet since the last one.
Here you can first see a picture of almost all of the Voluntarios IERP, that the evangelical church here: Otherwise I wanted to report briefly on my first transitional authorities today. And although I had to apply for an Argentine police certificate. We had to go though first 40 minutes bus to get to the proper authority, but site then it was no problem. It gave us exactly have shown no waiting for us and lots of nice people have to do what we do. Accordingly, the whole procedure was then also done zeimlich quickly. I think it could abschauen the German authorities sometimes quite a bit.
But it is too early for a definitive ruling, because the nru the initial procurement of the visa was here in Argentina. But the launch has succeeded;).
Otherwise I'm looking forward to visiting a friend in Freiburg, which is currently in rio de Jainero, and comes to visit me over the weekend.

Greetings from the somewhat warmer Argentina

Invocation Prayer Military

The first week

Hello,
now I finally come time again to write something here. I'll just tell briefly how my first week has gone in Argentina Sun

On Saturday, directly after our arrival, we first made a tourist bus tour. Here I first get a rough idea about the city, even if it on the open top bus was very cold. But at least I've now seen the main sights. On Sunday evening, then we have already made our first asado. This is to grill the typical Argentine way. This is great! Piece of meat for about an hour on the grill and is slowly grilled. This type of grill is very sociable, because one simply standing around the fire together, talking and drinking.
have the next day we then made entrance test for the English course. I am now in class A2, with no previous knowledge. But I'm learning even the most hard-working all week, so that the English should be better soon.
the evening we will again Asado made, this time with another (ex) volunteers. In general can you meet here in our accommodation very many volunteers who spend their last days here in Argentina and introducing us so very well in local conditions.

On Thursday we visited the German embassy and then there are some Lectures belongs, including through the training at the Foreign Office. For this subject interests me so much is known:). Otherwise, I've been through a week or two workshops. In the one we have knotted straps and in the other we made empanadas. They are a kind of pastry with filling.
food is also a good cue. We ate out of the asado, the whole week actually pretty good. For example, stuffed eggplant, tomatoes and peppers, and once more, a rice dish with mushroom cream sauce. The courts have always tasted very good, but we have yet not quite used to the prices, so we mostly deutlisch more expensive than the average cook. Where this is still pretty cheap for German standards. But here you can if you live frugal cooking and eating really for less than 2 € a day. But we'll also get a grip:).
If I raise the photos of, can you still get a few pictures of our delicious food to be seen. Otherwise
were yesterday the first really gone, that is, in a disco. We went for it in one of the prestigious area. Hence, the prices. But the admission has cost six euros. The evening was really nice, except that it does stop here earlier by 2 clock in the disco, and I'm KO now accordingly.

That's first back me up demnöchst.
