St Pattys!!!!

Celebration in Argentina:

"In Argentina, and especially in Buenos Aires, all-night long parties are celebrated in designated streets, since the weather is comfortably warm in March. People dance and drink only beer throughout the night, until seven or eight in the morning, and although the tradition of mocking those who do not does not exist, most people would wear something green. In Buenos Aires, the party is held in downtown street Reconquista, where there are several Irish pubs; in 2006, there were 50,000 people in this street and the pubs nearby. Curiously enough, the street is named that way ("Reconquest") remembering the takeover of the city after it had been invaded by the British in 1806, and much of the popularity of the day is due to the Argentine animosity against Great Britain (and thus, sympathy towards the Irish). Neither the Catholic Church nor the Irish community, the fifth largest in the world outside Ireland, take part in the organization of the parties."


OK! Went to St Pattys party after course... it ws awesomstactic! Lots of people, girls, Irish lasses (drool) and beer... it was pretty good, had some fun, just will change my planning system for next year, will go earlier, get more cash with me, and maybe an Irish costume!!!

Jobz interview

Alright! Don't you hate to specially have to dress for an interview? Get shaved, take off your piercings, earrings and look good just to get a job where you will be picking up phones?!?!?! Come on! Anyhow, I had a job interview today, I had... 1 hour trip to get to the office, 1 hour trip to get back home... and the interview time was: 15 minutes. Lmao. I was asked to speak English, to talk a bit about myself, about why I want to get in the company, and I even spoke in Japanese with one of the interviewers, just to prove that I knew more than him??? Rofl.. ok anyhow.. I liked the working place and now I have to wait 7-14 days for the feedback.

Introduction(?)

Ok, this is my first post... so I'll kinda do more an introduction than a post here..
First: Who I am? I am Matias, I am 22 and I am from Buenos Aires. I mainly created this blog, to vent off! It's the fun of this.
I will usually post things about my day-a-day stuff, cultural facts and other stupid daily things from my country, that for sure will be totally different from your (you! yes you! the one reading this..) country's.
Why the name? Simply, since I will vent off usually, I will write about things I hate or things I will make you hate!
What I would like also, is to encourage you all to post answers to my threads, giving your oppinion, laughing at the facts I state or telling me how it is in your country.
Greetings all, see you in my next post.
