¨¿Who are you, who-oo, oo-oo?¨ (Cue C.S.I. theme music)

Check out the new heading ... I have just learned how to add a photo. This is so that family can recognise me at the airport, and to provide evidence that I have met some of the intercultural objectives during my one month here.

You will observe three recognisable Argentine icons: the blue and white sports shirt, (in this case, rugby), a tray of empanadas (in this case ham and cheese filling in pastry, baked) and asado. Here is your sleeping dog photo for today. This guy just fell asleep in the middle of the footpath because it was mid day and siesta time. Such self-assuredness is not often seen in NZ dogs. You can see someone walking past behind him. I´m sure these dogs would bite, and I´m sure house-dogs would bite, but these guys don´t seem to go looking for trouble.


I´d love to know who has been reading my blog as the counter is clicking over. I´ve only got one more day left in Argentina and then, missing a day, arrive back in NZ on Tuesday morning... Hopefully, I can add a few more pictures and anecdotes - it just depends on accessibility to an internet-friendly computer.


Feel free to leave a message or comment - check out the small print at the bottom of the post to work out how to do it , or email me at kayosnz@yahoo.com .


Also, to all those of you in Argentina who I said I would love to talk to you on Skype -my username is kayvincent otherwise, just search my name and the country ¨New Zealand¨.

  1. ¡Hola! Kay
    I've been reading your blog since you emailed me. Quietly reliving my days in Paraná alongside you - laughing with you, and sighing as I recall the great memories that I collected during my 5 weeks with the AFS NZ One month Language Immersion Programme. A piece of your heart will forever be left in Paraná now. Aren't those ladies at STEP and CAI just amazing as well as those wonderful students!!
    I see on Yolanda's facebook that you enjoyed a night "en casa de Carmen con las maestras" (hope my tense and plurals are right!!) Carmen was my amazing "host mother" and I miss her dreadfully. It is my hope to return to Paraná sometime next year and to visit Iguazu Falls (I'm so envious of your trip there).
    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog during your time in Paraná - you have a very natural voice and I do hope that you continue to blog as you begin to embed your immersion journey experience and observations back into the classroom in NZ.
    ¡Todo el muy la mejor!
    ¡Abrazos!

  2. I check it pretty regularly :) you are definitely getting hits at a cracking pace! If meeting intercultural objectives involves pastry then count me in...
