Almost Christmas...

This weekend was a lot of fun!! We got our marks from the University and we both did really well (too bad this doesn't count for a credit at UofT!!). On Friday night we went to our friend, Santiago's birthday party. He had it at a small club and our friend was the DJ (the amazing thing about your friend DJing is you can request all the songs you want). At one point we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Santiago. Once we had finished, this giant foam fight came out of nowhere. It was crazy, half the people in the room just whipped out these cans of foam (it was harmless stuff) and just started spraying all over the room. We were covered in foam, but got some really amazing pictures!!

That night we met "Shaw", a guy from NYC who has been living in Buenos Aires for almost two years working for an American company here. Get this... he LIVES in the Hilton Hotel!! His company pays for it... and he has been living there for over a year!!! We went out for pizza with him after the party and then we all went shopping the next day. We went to the Hilton to pick him up, and it was like a fantasy: a pianist playing in the lobby, the biggest and most beautiful Christmas Tree we have ever seen, and tons of people waiting on you hand and foot!!

Saturday night we went out to Opera Bay, this really amazing club on the waterfront that looks like the Sydney Opera House. To celebrate Santiago's birthday, Shaw bought a bottle of Moët for the four of us. It literally cost as much as our rent for a month!!!! We got to sit in the VIP area that is usually reserved for the owner! We danced until about 5:30 when we decided we were just too tired and went home to the sunrise. On Sunday we suntanned all afternoon at the park, as the weather is absolutely perfect right now.

On a really disgusting note, Tova almost ate a dead cockroach... She made some chocolate milk and as she was drinking it, she felt something in her mouth. She pulled it out and it was a dead cockroach!!! But she just threw it out and kept on drinking!!!

So that kind of sums up our week.. we went from eating dead cockroaches to drinking Moet!!!
