Our First Couch Surfing Meeting

Contrary to what you may believe in regards to how Cousin Kelly and I spend our time in Buenos Aires due to the narrow perspective provided by this here blog (because we can't really help that alcohol really spices up our lives), we are occasionally spotted leaving the house in the daylight hours. Why just this Saturday we attended our first Couch Surfing event, that started at 4 but we showed up fashionably late at 4:30 and were still the first ones there. Nanu, the hostess, was really friendly and we sat around and talked until the apartment was full with about 30 people, at which point we broke up and played various board games.

We fell into the kitchen table kids who play taboo group, only taboo in this case was in Spanish, which is challenging for so many reasons you couldn't possibly grasp until you're staring at a card that says 'microbe' and you can't say disease, infection, germ, bacteria, and several other Spanish words whose meanings you can't derive, therefore eliminating just about everything you could've possibly said. Also, Taboo is no where near as awesome with no buzzer control. But we improved our vocabulary while charming the locals with our sarcastic wits.

This went on for 8 hours and we met and air kissed a ridiculous amount of people. We walked home at midnight and, though exhausted from so much human contact, needed to rehash the night over a glass of wine. I decided it was high time for Kelly to try Indian food, so we stopped into the Indian restaurant we've wanted to try and debriefed.
