Today it rained so much my chemistry class started to flood, I wish I'd had my camera. Just like in Canada, everyone was more or less at a loss as to what to do on a rainy friday night. The solution was: cards. A great idea in my opinion, I love cards, and it gave me an opportunity to teach them a Canadian card game. I choose spoons because a) it's super fun b) it's really easy and c) they play a very similar game called chancho so it was easy to explain. Well they caught on fast, the game got violent (as a good game of spoons should), and we played on and off from 5pm to 2am. It was a great night because we didn't go out so I spent the whole night talking, listening and learning. It's fun enough to go out to the club, but I can't really understand anything when I'm there so I just end up getting really really bored. And tired because it's 6am.
In other news, I had my first TV interview ever on Monday. Unfortunately it was in Spanish and the extent of my answers was "si" and "me gusta". I wasn't actually informed that I was getting interviewed until the camera man showed up at my Rotary meeting. A major shock to say the least. I also made the front page of the newspaper (another first), but the journalist misunderstood 'Kamloops, Colombia-Britanica' for 'Cambridge, un Colonia Britanica' (a British Colony). Although earlier she had said I was from Canada. Then in the news the reporter said I was from the States. I guess the important thing is I'm not from Los Toldos or Argentina!
