Pop Culture

I'm not exactly sure how los portenos (the locals) view Americans, but I've definitely seen some trends. One of said trends is that our media has quite a large influence here, as evident by some phrases that our tour guide (Juliana) used when describing certain sites and places.

"You have the pink panther. We have the pink house."
[sidenote: the White House equivalent here is pink]

"People either loved her (Evita) or hated her, like Woody Allen."

I hope I will have Spanish of this interesting wise nature in the near future.

P.S.- I should have plenty of stories and pictures to share after this weekend! You should probably mark your calendars for an epic post on Monday or Tuesday... probably Tuesday seeing as el cumpleanos del (the birthday of) Kylie is on Monday!
