Again, Buenos Aires is always a challenge to me mainly because of the language barrier. Yes, many people do not speak English here due to the fact that their education system does not emphasize much in English. To break this barrier I decided to learn Spanish before I came here. So, Kinokuniya did I went, bought two “learn to speak spanish” sort of books to help me cope with the barrier. Buying book gives me two benefits: one - I can learn spanish anywhere anytime; two - i get deduct the amount from my taxation later on. The question is does it help?

After much testing this few days, the answer is yes. It helps albeit not much, because the Argentinien speaks so fast. Most of the time, I only manage to catch the last word that came out of their mouth. Well, i guess its part of the learning curve right? Anyway, I look forward to be in Barcelona in early December and test it one more time. Practice! Practice! and hope it will stay and stick in my brain.

Travelling so much makes me miss my beautiful wife, Tina and son, Gavyn.Based on my last conversation with Tina, Gavyn is learning to stand by himself. Can’t wait to see both of them. I bought a cute 1-year old Argentina football jersey for Gavyn - let’s hope it fits him well.

Will be updating Gavyn’s pic this week soon, yes, before I leave for my holiday in Langkawi with the rest of my family. I think I deserve a relaxing holiday before my next two week travel to Europe - duh!
