I do not understand why people seem to feel that europeons are really amazing ? that is nothing to be proad about . you shouldn't take it personally that he hates the US , I am assuming he just hates the government and not the people . Peruvian food , I so want to start checking out recipes , I love spicy food . dont forget your tagged!

It's for me to keep track of what I've done in my time abroad. I will study hardcore today! Amal: I think you're right about the problem thing. The "hay crisis" thing started getting weird after a month. At first I thought that it had some meaning. Yeah, I need to answer the tagged questions soon! I just had to get this post up first.

That's always a great feeling. When are you coming back to the states? You could always extend your study by another semester I know a lot of people do that. That uncle may have had the mentality that he wasn't insulting "your" country...you know how a lot of children of immigrants associate with the country of their parents origin rather than with the country they may have been born in. Not excusing him but it may have been a factor. I have a couple of weird/interesting stories related to the Bangladeshi independence war...but way too long to type here.

Yep, it's a nice feeling to have finished it. I'll be back in the State on December 25th (just in time for Christmas!). This is actually my second semester in Argentina, so doing a third semester would be pushing it. I'd like to come back, though. Maybe for grad school research or something. Yeah, I figured that uncle might've not thought he was insulting "my" country because I don't think a lot of people here think of the US as "my" country, even though I was born and raised there, but I think he realized that I do consider it my only country when I got all defensive. A lot of Muslims here ask me if I like the US, and I'm always like, "Uhhhh, I was born and raised there and my friends and family are there. Why would I hate it?" (I don't say it that bluntly).

Now that my random aside is over...what a cool sounding paper! I hope you'll share it on the internets someday. Based on some of the stuff you've written so far in the blog, the paper sounds like it would be full of interesting insights. Even if it might take me a while to slog through the Spanish.

Singapore's mostly Chinese and South Asian and English speaking. I was at a Peruvian restaurant Saturday night with two desis and an African American, and a lady sitting close by us said she thought we were from South Africa. I'd say that's an educated guess too since South Africa has a lot of desis as well. Guava: At least those officers had an educated guess and didn’t ask if you were from Afghanistan or something.

It is an educated guess in a way. It would be nice to also be guessed to be American sometimes. That could be an educated guess too, if they listened to my accent or noticed my accessories/clothing/shoes. But that kind of a guess only happened to me when I was in India!
