Mixing with the locals

Yet more lovely Argentinians we are mixing with. They say they don't speak English, apart from what they learned at school. Well, it's obviously not a bad standard of education then! But that's not to say the translating machine doesn't get well used more than a poquito!


Phileas, Andy, Lucy, Aurora and Orlando. (Some names are easier to Anglicise than others!)



With Orlando being a teacher, we had the opportunity to tour a school in Cordoba. Nice staff, good kids, just a bit disturbing that classrooms tended to resemble a toilet block.



We had some fun with these 15 year olds as they practised their English and voiced their desires to have girls in school. They even recorded a video message for Phileas' class back home. Somehow, I doubt the reply will be in Spanish!
