Hello again:)
The last time a lot has happened! Tuesday last week (22feb) we were on our way to work. When we came to Constitusion (railway station) we were shown out of the station by policemen! When we come out of the train station, it is chaos! Thousands of people, this day was togstreik it. Well, I thought we had an English-hour we had to catch. Asked if there were some buses, and it did, the bus 98, we should take! So then it was just starting to look for bus 98! But we probably were not the only ones who would get on the bus! The queue was 100m long. We stood for 45 minutes in the blazing sun in the queue, before we had to give up, really stupid! So, no English hour, went instead to the park and sunbathing and at night it was the tango! Louise tried their new tangosko! : D Full success!
On Wednesday we had a meeting with an English teacher from the United States. Very clever, and very motivated to help us with advice and tips. We should have close follow-up with him throughout period. After the meeting we bought English books, to improve the quality of the hour, and that it will be easier for those who will take over the class after us. We made ourselves very good dinner that we've become very good at, before we met the other volunteers on a playable.

Play in English class
Friday (25feb) we went to Tigre! Approximately 45 minutes away by train. Very nice city! Lots of islands that are close together, only channels that separate them, as you drive through with the boat. We took the boat about 30 minutes in the channels, before we found a restaurant on a large island, where we ate really good food, before we took the boat back:) Back in the land we sat in a park and ate ice delicious sun.
Here we eat good ice cream in the park in Tigre!
Found Raising Party
Saturday we had the responsibility to act in everything Found Raising party we had planned for Sunday! Traded into hot dogs, popcorn, cola and some prizes. The money we earned goes to the children in Berazategui that we have with English:)
Then it was Sunday! We cleaned and packed and cleaned all day long, for soon came the big move day! : D At 17 we went to Pichincha (the hostel we stayed at the first 2 weeks) where we would have found raising party. All were traded in, and the movie was rented, Pizza, Birra, Faso called it. Argentine action which is about the community in this country. Quite violent and brutal film, but instructive. Together we made up 600 pesos, almost 1000 NOK! There are a lot of money here, so we were very happy! :)
Last preparations before the sale starts:)
Sooooo lot of money we got in! : D
May write a thank you to all who contributed:)
Bannessa And who runs the hostel made some food for us, then thanked her in English:)
Paraguay 5326
Today we have moved from Guatemala to Paraguay street, all four blocks apart! We enjoy already! : D Carolin has been streptococcus (most likely) so she has remained for the most part today, so Louise had to go alone to work on a new place we started today, La Juegoteca. This is very similar to SFO in Norway, open between 1916-1918 Monday and Wednesday, and children come here to play and have fun! The children are between 4-12 years :) It was quite a mess today! The kids have no rules, they do as they please. Lots of howling and screaming and fighting all the time! Impossible and give messages! It's something we hope we can do something:)
Our new bathroom!
living room! Now we have a dining table with 4 chairs, so do not have to sit on the couch and eat:)
kitchen! Something COMPLETELY different than the last!

Tomorrow morning we will have our first real solar day since Mexico! We will put us at the pool on top of the building J Hope you do not freeze to death at home in the cold!
Hope everyone else enjoying their World Cup forann television programs happen! We follow with! Very proud to be Norwegian! : D
