Accidents happen
Accidents and maladies happen every day I guess. But jeez they do seem to happen EVERYDAY to me. Believe me that is only a slight exaggeration. I have now been in BA for 15 days. In that time I have sustained the following:
1. Two cases of food poisoning
2. One eye infection (swollen, red and painful for 3 days)
3. Two dog bites (that have broken the skin)
4. Narrowly missed being hit by car 3 times (literally feeling the wind rush by the legs as the car passes me by)
Ah, each day a new adventure, stay tuned in to hear about my continual death-defying experiences…

jaja, yep those are our Argentinean drivers!
Hey, didn’t you hear an “Ole!” while you were feeling the wind?
FYI: Please don’t wait to cross the street standing too close to the “cordón” (I can’t remember the word in English) or on the street. I know us, Argentineans, do, but those who survived to such unconscious behaviour have years of experience.
Don’t be stupid like us! Play it safe (cause, you know, death tourists is bad publicity for the receptive tourism business and you don’t want us to go broke again, right?, jaja!)
But seriously, take care!
