PUB CRAWL STORIES

Last night I had a particularly good pub crawl. It was 2 argentine girls' birthdays, so it was a big one. I was the bartender last night for the first time (movin' on up in the STAFF status). I met some amazing people with really good travel stories about Chile and Peru. I met a young couple that fell in love in two weeks after meeting here in Buenos Aires. At one of the bars, an ex-ballet teacher taught me a dance move. She made fun of me quite a bit, but I finally got the steps down.

A girl from Cali told me her parents used to own a chain of successful carwashes, but just last week they called and told her they went bankcrupt. They lost everything because their other daughter has disabilities that insurance will no longer cover. Now, the girl tells me, her dad can't even get a job at Home Depot. This confirms the wildfire effects of the economy. This is obviously the best time to travel -- I'll stay wayward until the economy is stable again :)
