John: I'm just off to the biblioteca nacional to see some short films, not even a foreign country can keep me away from the movies...

We've been doing a little extra work this week, there's a student from way down south (Comodoro Rivadavia in the province of Chubut) who's had an immersion course... 8am to 6pm for five days... and he was still smiling at lunchtime.
