first there was a 1.5 day orientation in Miami with all the people from the US going to Argntina, Chile, Panama, Brazil and Honduras. there is 21 people going to Argentina from the US. the Orientation was a little boring but the hotel was really nice and it was fun to talk to everybody during freetime.
Next the kids going to Argentina flew to Buenos Aires, it was about 9 hours i think. the orientation actually kinda fun in Buenos Aires, it was outside except for the cabins! it was fun to meet the people from all the different countries that were going to Argentina.
to get to our host cities we took buses, my bus ride was 7 hours! that sounds horrible but it was fine because the seats are super comfortable, and they recline so you can sleep and it was overnight so thats what i did. And there was a girl from finland and a boy from New Zealnd going to rio cuarto aswell and a Swiss boy and thai boy going to a nearby city, so we were all on the same bus.
My host parents and my oldest host sister were there to meet me when the bus arrived! They are very nice and excited for me to be here! we then drove home and had some breakfast and then went back to sleep until 2 pm! then we had asado (meat) it was grilled on the fire in the back and was really good!!! in my family there are two girls 14 and 16 and two boys 7 and 11, and of course parents.
that aftrnoon we went down town, its just a 5 minute walk away from home, and there are people every where! its a lot of fun it feels like a big city compared to Corvallis! After dinner about 20 of Anto´s (my house sister) friends came over and i got to meet everybody! they all asked me what type of music i liked and about dancing and parties in the US and if i had a boyfriend and if i smoked, etc.....they were very curious! the party went on until 4 am i think but i went to sleep around 2!
my first day was a lot of fun and so have been the days following and more about those later!
