An update from a double decker bus heading from buenos aires to iguazu waterfall. We are three hours into a 16 hour bus ride and the joy I felt with the one movie I said they would be playing on the ride die hard 4 is now gone because they switched to Spanish dub with English subtitles. Oh well you can't win them all. Everything else is going excellent. Tour finished two nights ago and I stayed in argentina while bane flew to brasil for one last show. Tour was a blast but not nearly as crazy as I thought it would be. I suppose they had filled my head with crazy expectations but I definitely was not disappointed. I'm completely ready to do some real traveling around South America now though and get out of the cities and into gringoville. I've dream of iguaza for a long time though so this is a good start.

I don't even know if I can do a proper wrap up on each of the countries we went through now but ill give it a shot since I can't handle the fake John Mcclane.

After Colombia which wasn't really Colombia but bogota and a long crazy bus ride to medellin and back to bogota we went down to Peru. Again sweet kids picked us up at the airport and again we packed too many people into a cab and a car. Lima definitely was the craziest of all the cities we went to. Crazy airport, crazy driving, and crazy sickness which followed us once we left. Everyone was real sweet though and I think low batt is a proper enough description of the laid back style of everyone there. The show was alright maybe the weakest of the tour but the fact that bane played at 2 am probably didn't help. Peru also has the least attractive girls of sa with a few really cute exceptions.
Obviously since we are in south America we ate lots of pizza and Chinese food. We went to a kids house one day though and they hired a chef to prepare us a traditional meal veganized. It was pretty awesome and this kids fancy house had an insane view of a shanty town just up the mountain from his house. Apparently if I went up there I wouldn't come back.
We also stayed at a total gringo hostel and even had to share a dorm with a few different British bros which I'm dreading once I'm on my own.
The next country was chile. I walked around a ton there met a nice Mexican girl at the show and ate more pizza. This was suppose to be the craziest merch night and it was a huge let down. Nobody was smashing at the table taking any and all sizes. Sure I yelled at the kids for about the first 15 minutes to quit being dicks and wait their turn but I didn't sell 4 grand or have to fight anyone off. Oh well.
The first show was apparently disappointing for the kids there but the second show was absolutely nuts in a way smaller room so I think it balanced out.
Last country and my present location is aregentina and its definitely the most euro feeling place and I do believe I love it. I could easily live here well as much as I live anywhere.
Alright my fingers are over typing hopefully this uploads and hopefully these waterfalls are everything I've been dreaming of.
