the news from BA

This just in from Emily, who arrived in Buenos Aires on Monday to begin her great adventure.

Just wanted to send a more complete update on Buenos Aires. Really exciting to be in such an unbelievably MASSIVE city and know that there are so many opportunities at my fingertips, woohoo. Looks like the next 2 weeks will be a lot of painstaking orientation business which, of course, is important but hopefully with some fun interspersed. My host mom is very nice, smart woman who has a lot of interesting things to say about the political situation in Argentina. My neighborhood (Belgrano) is very, very cute from what I've seen so far but a bit far from the center of the city. All's well down here.
