That's...different

Today as I was walking down the sidewalk returning to my apartment, I had a strange experience. There was a woman crouched down on the sidewalk, holding a baby. She had two other young children standing next to her. As I walked by them, I happened to glance down and see a yellow stream going right across where I was going to walk. I quickly sidestepped and continued walking. Yes, that's right: the little boy was peeing right on the sidewalk. Thank goodness I happened to glance down!

I want to stress that this is not at all normal behavior in Buenos Aires. It is the first time I've seen such a thing in the almost 15 months I've been here.

Carla and I ate at a Korean restaurant the other day. (Bi Won, Junín 548) It was her first time eating Korean. We both liked it, though some of the food was a little too spicy for her.

Speaking of food, eating grilled organ meats is very common here. So far I've tried intestines, kidney and molleja. No one is really sure what the latter is, but my best guess is that it's the pituitary gland of a cow. I haven't yet eaten brain, tripe (stomach) or heart. I'm sure liver is eaten here too, but it doesn't seem to be very common. I don't remember having ever seen it on a menu. Oh, and I've also had tongue, which amazingly is very tender.
