I’m back from Argentina! It was a great trip. The food there is wonderful, the women are frickin’ beautiful, and the beer is both fine and cheap.

Rice Tea Writing Finished.
Yep. I’m done writing Rice Tea. All that’s left now is to edit, edit, edit. The book needs much polishing, especially towards its conclusion.

Rice Tea Reaches Page 100!
Progress really slowed down on Rice Tea. The main factor was the starting of the new job. For my first weeks there, I’d just come home from work and collapse. On some days, I went to bed at 7PM. I could not do any university work or writing.
Then I had two days where they had nothing for me to do at work. So I wrote. And wrote. In fact, I wrote twenty pages. As a point of comparison, I had only managed to write two pages since I had started my new job.
I’ve now reached the 100 page milestone. Don’t count on returning to summer-level production. Perhaps in three weeks, after my job here is done, and university is complete (forever!), I’ll have the time I need.
The next update on this blog pertaining to Rice Tea will be to tell you that it’s done. Keep up to date on the book’s own website, ricetea.ca!

Arrived at Desination
I’ve arrived at my destination. I’m in the western part of Argentina. Being here makes me realize how wealthy we are in Canada. The city people live well, but you see the lesser income in he shape of the buildings, the cars, the crumbling city infrastructure…
As a rite of passage, I just had my first litre beer (beer here comes in bigger containers than Canada.) Good stuff.

In transit…
Okay, so maybe I won’t be too precise about what I do where, but nothing says I can’t talk about what I do on my way there.
I’m in Buenos Aires at the moment. Interesting city. Wonderful, wonderful food. I stopped by Santiago, Chile, earlier today. It’s interesting – it’s right by the Andes, yet you can’t see them because of the smog.
