-you get cat-called by policemen
-you almost get hit by a colectivo every day
-you can't breathe
-dogs are walked in groups of 20
-and their poop is EVERYWHERE
-you stay out until 6am
-then you go get pizza...
-your life revolves around how you will get monedas for your next bus ride
-you eat alfajores, medialunas, empanadas, milanesa, and helado
-you plan grand adventures, but either get lost getting there, or wherever you were going is closed that day (for no particular reason)
-everyone loses a cell phone
-if you haven't lost one, you've DEFINITELY been stranded somewhere with no credit
-you've gone to McDonald's for a dulce de leche sundae
-you step in dog poop and get pooped on by a pigeon in the same day
-you've had an Argentine tell you "I love you", "I want to marry you", or "will you be my girlfriend?"
-you drink mate
-you go into a clothing store and can't fit into a large...
-your host mom is surprised when you're home before 3
-the guy that works at the gym makes out with you
-you can't buy peanut butter
-people LOVE that you're foreign
-you've been robbed
-salsa golf is a diet staple
-you don't know what you will do without kioscos
-or ferias
-you just want your pants to be dried in a dryer
-you have to take 2 subways and wait an hour and a half to pick up a package
-you've been on a bus when it has gotten in an accident
-you spend long afternoons in parks
-you've been to Retiro, and dread going back
-you've lost something at Lost
-waking up by 8am sounds CRAZY
-you've been pissed when you've accidently bought agua con gas
-which is surprisingly starting to grow on you
-ordering a coffee involves 8 dishes, served with a little cup of water and cookies, brownies, or any other dulce
-you're amazed that you don't have to order anything to sit in Starbucks, or pay for their internet
-sometimes, a trip out of the city is the most relieving thing you've ever been able to fathom
-you get weird phone calls and text messages in Spanish from people you don't know
-men wear rastas, mullets, rat tails, and the best: rasta-rat tail-mullets
-all the women have that bun on top of their head
-and they all wear those pants...
-your hot water always turns off in your shower
-you just want to eat something spicy
-it takes 2 months to figure out how the Guia-T works
-you get on a jam packed bus at 4:00am
-you complain about third world internet
-it's normal for someone to put a pen, scissors, a flashlight, or some other useless object on your lap on the subway, trying to sell it to you...you just wait patiently for them to come back around and pick it up
-you've tried to sit at the flower until it closes, unsuccessfully
-you've been to La Bamba
-La Boca and San Telmo scare you
-you go to the oddest places and meet the oddest people
-your life is weird
And that is why we love this city!!
