John:
We wandered out to Restaurante Norte this evening after a busy day's lesson planning. No joy on the job front but there's another interview somewhere else tomorrow. Norte is cheap, sirloin and chips for AR$9.50, wine for AR$6, mind you we will be earning AR$15 an hour so we're starting to think of food in terms of hours worked.

There was a steady stream of delivery guys out of the restaurant, everything here is available for delivery. Restaurant food, empanadas (like pasties, see the picture, usually with an egg and cheese or ham), the supermarkets all deliver, the laundrette delivers... If we feel really lazy we can phone down to the Bird Garden cafe (in the lobby of the building, along with 'closing down sale' clothes shops and mobile phone geezers) in the morning and they'll deliver a cafe con leche and medialunas for no extra charge. The only problem is, with our Spanish, we'd never know what we were getting... that'll change as soon as the course is out of the way.  ¶ 1:45 AM
