Ok, so my little holiday in Buenos Aires has come to an end. And the answer to the ultimate question "Is it possible to eat too much meat?".... Well the answer is yes. I ate too much meat. But I would gladly do it again, and I am sure I will.

I am unable to give a full account of the last days, as I don't have much memory of them. I am not sure if that was from all the beef or the beer and wine I was drinking. From what I can remember, it all started to blur into some kind of meat eating frenzy. Although I almost went one day with out meat, I had fish, but I also had a choripan (sausage in a bun) for breakfast, so not truly a meat free day. I do recall taking a trip out to Tigre, to escape the city for the day. Very nice, next time I might actually go see the wetlands which Tigre is famous for, instead of sitting in a bar all day. Maybe...

New Years Eve was pretty good as well. Another asado at the hostel, followed by a dance party in some park. I just managed to get to bed before the sun came up. Sometime around 7am I think. And you'll all be pleased to know the first thing I ate this year was.... Yes, another dirty great steak. Awesome.

I caught the bus back to Santiago on the 2nd of Jan. Forked out the extra cash for the full "carma" (bed) experience. Man o man, that was swish. Instead of the usual 4 seats to the row, there were only 3, and they went all the way back. The food was better than I would have expected for a bus, you even got wine with dinner. I also had the front seat, right in front of the window. At first I was happy about this, I had the best view of the city on the way out, but later at night when I got to watch the driver overtaking 3 and 4 trucks at once, and well it got a little scary.

Back in Santiago and back to work. Though today I had the coolest class ever. Not so much the student, but the where. I am now teaching 2 days a week in a brewery! Yeah!!! It's awesome, I could smell the malt the whole time... Mmmm malt..... I need to see if I can get one of my students to get me a tour of the place. Or at least let me take my own tour, I won’t touch... Promise. And if that isn't enough for you, I get a free lunch! I get the feeling that is the only reason I was given this course, the ladies here keep telling me I am too thin. And they tell me off for eating sandwiches all the time.

Oh yeah, I did the weigh in when I got back from Buenos Aires... Wait for it.... 2 kilos. That's it. Only two freaking kilos. I eat every bit of beef I can for 10 days, and only put on 2 kilos. I am a little disappointed.

That's about it for now. I am off travelling again in February. So keep an eye out for my updates, and hopefully photos if I get my new camera.
