Known to be one of the world's most difficult languages, it is not surprising that this language's challenges make for an interesting start to 6 months living everything this beautiful city has to offer. The fact that this language is in fact closer to Hindi than to English quickly explains why some very interesting (and sometimes unfortunate) anomalies sometimes arise. I have listed a few of the favourites below:

szia (pronounced seeya) = hello, though can mean good bye as well
héllo = hood bye but can also mean hello.
akt (pronounced act) = nude
blokk (pronounced block) = receipt
kánon (pronounced canon) = round
kantin (pronounced canteen) = mess
test = body
comb = thigh
part = shore
sajt (pronounced shite) = cheese

These are just a few examples. Makes for a good laugh sometimes at least!

So, it's been a while since I left South America and last posted anything. Even I am wondering where the time went, instead of thinking about it too much I have uploaded some of the best pictures from the last 5 months including the last week or so in Argentina and Chile...
