Back in BA......

I just had a really crap meal. It was basically spagetti with ketchup on but it had been given a fancy italian name to try and fool me. And to add insult to injury, the meal didn´t cost 10 pesos as the sign outside had stated, it cost 12, because of course we had forgotten to take into account the "cutlery charge". "The what??!" I hear you cry, and well you might, for it truly is one of the most ridiculous things I´ve ever encountered. A nice posh restaurant that charges you 2 pesos for the use of cutlery! And don´t think this is an isolated incident! This is common practice in Argentina. I´m almost tempted to go into the poshest restaurant in town and just eat the whole meal with my fingers to see what they say....

Anyway, I´m sure you´re all just dying to know what happened to Papiku. Well, to be honest, we thought we´d seen the last of him, but no, on the evening of New Years day, there came a familar knocking on the door. Papiku was there, looking very different, with clothes on. He came in and sat down, and proceeded to tell us that he hadn´t slept yet as he´d been up all night on LSD. He then said he´d been dying for a smoke all day and the reason for his visit became apparant. We gave him a spliff butt, which was all we had, and after that he left, never to be seen again. I miss him already... :)

So the next day we had to catch our bus to buenos aires. It turned out it wasn´t a bus at all, it was actually a mobile earthquake disguised as a bus! As soon as the bus started moving it became apparant that this was going to be a journey from hell. The whole bus vibrated and shook so violently that reading or sleeping were impossible. On the other hand, it was so empty that other things were more possible than they may usually have been....... ;) so yeah, 29 hours later and I´m here, in Jerusalem.... Oh no, sorry, I mean Buenos Aires.... God Damn there´s a lot of Israelis here! Hey, I love you guys, but can´t you just spread yourselves out a bit? :)

I´m finally going to see Lord Of The Rings now! Woo Hoo!!!! Will give you my highly valuable and important verdict later....
