eating and being eaten...

We went to a restaurant last night that was recomended for its all you can eat buffet. I was expecting a cheapie little place, but when we arrived it turned out to be a huge posh restaurant with just about every food imaginable, from massive steaks flame grilled over a huge barbecue, freshly made ravioli, pizzas, starters, deserts, you name it they had it, and all for 12 pesos, which is us$4, or UK2.40!!!!! Even the wine was only a pound a bottle! I have to admit i overate tho, and had trouble walking back to the hostel. Then I spent the whole night being eaten by mosquitos. bastards. I still say we eradicate them forever thru genetic meddling... it must be possible Im sure...

One interesting thing Ive noticed in S America so far is that the buskers/beggers are much more imaginative than back home. In Vi�a Del Mar, next to Valpo, the town was overrun by clowns. They jumped up on the bus while you were on your way to the beach, and launched into a comedy routine normally involving rude jokes and oversized sunglasses. The most fascinating thing for me was seeing them on their fag breaks! It was just like something out of a monty python sketch: 10 clowns all stood around a park bench smoking fags and arguing loudly. As well as the clowns I also saw guys performing in front of cars stopped at red lights: robot man painted silver being bitten by street dog and incorporating it into his act, man juggling clubs, man spinning fire (take my money, just get that flame away from my petrol tank!).....

By the way, argentinean girls are hot. just thought Id mention that.....

ok, bye for now.
