October 17th.
It is crazy that I only have a little over 2 weeks left in my visit to Argentina. I have had a lot of fun this past weekend. Friday night we celebrated Sofia's birthday and went out with 2 of her friends to 2 different bar/clubs. We started the pregame at her house at about midnight and didn't leave to the the first club until 2 am. I gained a new perspective on this late night behavior. A lot of people don't really want to stay up that late, they just do because that's the only time things are "lit" or alive. Up until 2 am or a little after people are sitting. The music is, what people from the US are more used to, hip hop or dubstep. Later in the night you hear Latino music with a cumbia beat. I had went to the club in Cordoba too and I had a much less of a good time even though I really tried. It was so crowded that I couldn't dance. People seemed to just take over your space as if you didn't exist . When I resisted this it seemed like more of an offensive move then the intended defensive one I was aiming for. There seemed to be a constant flow of people walking through our group. Friday night however we were not as crowded. Sofia's cousin who worked at the club even gave us a whole bottle of Smirnoff. I had never had alcohol at my disposal like that at a club. We danced until about 4:30 AM and then went to a hotel restaurant for lomito. A steak egg and ham sandwich with mayonnaise. Saturday night went and got Sushi to celebrate Sofia's sisters birthday. whose birthday was Sunday. The sushi took over an hour to get but it was really good once it came so it was worth it. Serving at restaurants here is much different then in the States. Here it the server doesn't come to you a lot. Just the essential times like to order and to dispatch food and the bill.
