I'm ultimately confused by this whole situation. I mean who has a butler? I guess people who stay in the Park Tower in Buenos Aires. Upon receiving my upgrade and finding my way up to my room I received a knock on the door shortly after getting situated. To my suprise it was my butler or thats what she told me...she looked like a butler too wearing a tuxedo like thing with tails and everything, however she didn't speak with that Geeves like english accent.
So, when I finally got home last night, there were snacks on my coffee table. That was great
because I needed a snack.
Also, there were notes from my butler...I need to save these things. They were like "I stopped by today to check in on you, unfortunately you were not here. I left you this snack I hope you like it. Please let me know if I can assist you in anyway. Your Butler, Maria Jose"
I'm so confused. What do I do with a butler?

I'm back...
Alright, I'm back in BA and it's already funny.
I checked into my hotel..or rather tried to...and I was informed that I will be recieving an upgrade to the Park Tower. Why you might ask? I too was confused, but what the heck after I was told "Because it is better" by 2 different people I accepted the offer to be in the super stuffy and fancy wing of the hotel. I'm not sure if they were expecting me to look how I do or something because they always seem suprised when they are talking to me...expescially my butler...yes I said it...butler...

Free coffee at Starbucks
Yesterday, I went into Starbucks as usual for my Grande Cafe Americano. This time was different..or diferent if you will...I wait in line for a little while and I when I finally get to the register the girl says "Hola Jeff, Cafe Americano again" and I say "Si". She then says "Blah blah blah blah blah..." which I can't understand a word. I reply "Como?" she looks over at the Barista for help.
The barista walks over and says "Jeff...she..uh....this one she buy you...uh...because she say so" I'm like "No, serio?".."Si si"..."Ok, thanks"...
Anyway, I got a free coffee...for going to S'bucks every single morning for 2 months. But it is nice that they all know my name there now. I walked in on sunday morning...uh afternoon I slept til 2pm....to a "Hola Jeff!" it was fun. I felt like Norm form cheers. Oh and Sabrina gets mad at me everytime I order my Cafe Americano caliente...she swares by the helado americano.

The Cien note is the bane of my existance
Once again all I could get from the Caja Automatico was Cient pesos notes. Why do they even have these things if nobody will take them? It so funny to go buy something for 20 pesos and pull out the 100 pesos bill and see the look of horror on the face of the kid at the counter.
So, this time I went to the King to get a whopper and some aros de cebolla I had the young lady my 100 and she starts to freak out. She asks if I have anything smaller to which I reply "No, solo" I'm trying to say thats all I have. I'm not sure if thats right, but it's close enough and she got the point. She then takes a deep breath and lets out a big sigh...then looks around for her manager. Nobody is around to save her from this terrible situation that I have put her in. She opens up her cash drawer and begins to count out my change...remember it's only 80 pesos in change...she has to give me almost every bill she has in her drawer. At least this time she didn't start handing me rolls of quarters like I got at Starbucks. Anyway I have a massive stack of small bills now so this shouldn't be a problem...however I have no idea if she gave me enough change or not.
Hasta la proxima....

La LLama que LLama
Check this out...this is one in a series. I can't understand it all, but it's still funny.
Basically the word for the animal Llama and the verb for call "Llama" are the same, so it's a "The Llama that calls"....or La Llama que llama. Don't for get to pronounce "ll" as "sha".

I love the "Hola, United States...."
