Today we had culture class with one of my favorite teachers Roberto. He came with us to Noroeste and he is the teacher who played the guitar for us on the bus. What I love about his class is that he is more concerned that we go out and experience the culture than he is with us book learning about it. He always encourages us to go to the art fairs and the night activities in the city that display the culture. He says that we are not tourists, but we live here now and this is our culture too. And even though I don't think I will ever "fit in" doing the tango, or the dance of the gauchos, or drinking mate, I love that he doesn't consider us tourists.
This is a clip from class:
Classes are starting to pick up and I think I am going to actually have to start studying soon....
