Welcome to my first blog!

Hello everyone! I am a student from San Diego, California participating in the 10 week study abroad program in Buenos Aires, Argentina offered by San Diego City College in collaboration with Expanish.

As I fumble my way through the city streets - yes folks, I will NOT be driving the entire stay!!! :) - learning the castellano version of Spanish, snacking on scrumptious empanadas, and haggling at the weekend street fairs I shall be documenting my adventures so those of you at home can share the experience of..."A Student's Life in Argentina"!

Enjoy!

Expanish Orientation and Home Stay Assignments - Aug 28, 2010


Yet another non-stop day...but at least I have a permanent home for the next 10 weeks. Orientation and lunch at Expanish in downtown Buenos Aires started at 10am and seamlessly brought us to the homestay assignment.

I will be living in the prestigious barrio of Recoleta. It is home to Cementario de la Recoleta, where the city's most elite have been laid to rest, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Argentina's primary national art museum and many more which I will be exploring soon.
