Want to tell you some funny stories again. My fellow dancer Sebastian told me that he can be here for three months and then he can renew his visa. After six months he has to get out of the country and come back again. But he was also told by the office that he could also just get back after six months and then receive an argentinan citizenship! Which means it takes six months to become a citizen in this country. And I also found out that my hosts friends, who most of them are jews, also celebrate the holidays for christmas! My host to be, Luba (where Simon stayed last year) is also Jewish, but she left (and that is why I got another host) to celebrate Christmas in Europe!


And in big crossings there are policemen telling people how to drive. I heard one tell a driver "and do not forget to put the blinkers (?) on when you are turning left!"...


And f you call from a public phone it is always partly a collect calle. Which means that when I called Sebastian and we were just about to decide where and wen to meet, the conversation was over, cause apparently my call finished Sebastian´s card. Not very practical, is it?




Hasta luego. and write more!

It actually was even easier than that with the citizenship. I went to the migration office at the end of my first three months as Pixie said, but apparently I could have walked over and applied for the citizenship right away if I had wanted to. Her wording was something like this “Since it is possible only to extend your visa once you’ll have to leave the country every six months. If that is inconvenient you can get the papers for applying for a citizenship at the counter over there. Tell them to call me if they have any questions.”. In other words, no six months required, probably not any months at all to be honest.

Galet, kanske lika lätt att få körkort som medborgarskap, med tanke på polisens kommentar..kanske kan malmös taxichaufförer lära sig något av en resa till BA?
Vad är det i majsrullen? Inte den mest aptitretande bilden, en bit bark och ett glas vatten, men spännande.
Bailarina preciosa, synd att du inte fick med en bild av den aerodynamiska mustaschen, hade varit spännande att se. Själv ska jag alldeles strax göra mig av med vildvuxen skäggstubb för gott intryck imorgon, be gärna grannarna om en julbön för mig.
Vackra och saknade Tat,dansa gott, je t'embrasse fort
