A review of last week´s Fun!

Hola Amigos de Íbero!!!

We would like to tell you about what we did last week (August 3-7). We were so happy that you came. The following post will be the plans we have for this week (August 10th). Come join us and bring your friends – it´s a great way to meet new people here in Buenos Aires!


On Monday we went as a group to La Bomba de Tiempo. What a show! La Bomba de Tiempo is a percussion band that plays every Monday night to a young crowd at a place in Abasto. The show began around 7 and went until about 11. We enjoyed ourselves very much, we danced to the music, drank some beer and ate empañadas. It is a great place to go with your friends and hear some local music. It was sure worth it for us!


On Tuesday we had our weekly movie theater here in the school. This time we watched a movie called “Hermanas,” a dramatic film about two sisters seperated and then reunited. Again, watching the movie in Spanish with the English subtitles turned on is a great way to practice your listening and comprehension skills. It was a great movie!


On Wednesday we ate at a parrilla in San Telmo called El Desnivel. It is a typical porteño restaurant where you can find the best meats in Argentina. El Desnivel is a place we enjoy going to here at Íbero because the prices, the atmosphere and the delicious food always results in a great time among the students. This time we definitely ate some great steaks and drank some great wine – all in all, it was a great dinner!


Every week we have a conversation workshop where students can practice the Spanish skills they are learning in class. On Thursday, we held the workshop in El Ateneo-Gran Splendid, a café on Florida street that was convirted from a theater into a bookstore! The building kept its same structure and beauty, the only difference now is it serves a different purpose. So, as always, we drank a coffee and enjoyed some great conversation in Spanish!


Our last activity last week was on Sunday. We went to the Feria de Mataderos, one of the most important fairs in Buenos Aires. There were 8 of us in all and we met at the school at 2:00 to ride the bus together to the fair. It was about a half hour ride out there, but definitely worth it. When we got there, we saw loads of venders selling traditional Argentina meat and sweets. There was a band playing Bolivian music, horses, crafts and loads of people watching. All in all, it was a great cultural experience and we enjoyed doing it together.


This week should be just as fun – we hope to see you soon!

Un saludo grande,
