So that's it for teaching for a little while. In the last two weeks I had been scheduled to do some fill in slots for teachers who finished in November and out of a possible 8 classes I ended up giving 3 (still got paid mind, it's just that the students had other things to do, like have lunch).

One class was with a Basque chap and, because it was his last, and only lesson with me, I just made him talk for an hour and a half. He said that the problem with Argentine women was that they were hysterical (what he actually said is the title of this post... we don't laugh at students, but we might chuckle later, when they're not around). He learned "highly strung" which he liked and then launched into a description of how Argentine women are thin, and stay thin by not eating, because they only want one thing: a man.

It was quite amusing, and not entirely serious, which I'm glad about because in my, limited, experience I've met many Argentine women who appear anything but hysterical, who are independant and like it that way.... that said, I have met a couple who have bordered on the moderately strung and have indicated that their lives would be much better if only they could meet someone....
