Mafioso and some entertainment

I´ve learned the most amazing saying here... ´Que quieres... La chancha, los veinte y la maquina de hacer chorizo?!´It translates to... You want the pig, the piglettes AND the machine to make the sausage! Genius... I love it.

Another new one... when one complains of hunger... you know being a whiney brat about being starving... tell them to ´Chúbate el dedo grande´... it means so suck your big thumb. Clearly I´ve been hanging out with very mature Argentine´s.

But here is something very interesting, atleast I though so. In neighborhoods where you have a lot of restaraunts it is a little tricky to park. There are guys, rangeing in age from pretty old to young. they have a flag and stand about mid street... one guy per street, but both sides are their turf. They ´own´the street and will park your car for you or tell you where to park. They don´t work for a company, just for themselves. They cost 1 peso, which is a mear 30 cents. If you don´t use them or pay them and park on their street... your car will be messed up upon return! If they park 50 card a night... that´s 50 pesos, 5 days a week, for a month... that´s 1000 pesos... that is a lot of money for Argentine´s. These men do this till they are ready to retire and they then leave their block to someone... they have the rights.

Polo tomorrow... and Patagonia next weekend!!! I might head to Tigre on Sunday too... and a Brazilian club tonight... more stories to come! Thanks for all the feed back, keep it coming! And a funny thing is happening- my English is getting worse.
