From Buenos Aires to Paris.

After a short stay in Paris, I am in Tanzania. After a $20 cab ride to the airport in Buenos Aires, I made it.

Paris was an excellent eye openner. I had less than 24 hours there, and spent more than $150US there. A bottle of water in a cafe, $8. A bus and train to the city, more than $10. I feel like I am ruined for big city western life. I actually didn't drink anything. Another thing I noticed, that the transport was crap. This is of course unfair to say, but it happens that I was there when the connectionto Gare du Nord was down. They only said the train was down, so after taking a bus to another station, and then finding that they also didn't move, I took a bus back to the airport, and eventually made it to Paris in the rain. Basically, the cheapest hotel I could find was over $60, and the the bus cost extra, the train cost extra, and food was crazy expensive. All I can say is I miss S. America already, and seem to be ruined for the west.

After arriving in Tanzania, I caught a $10 shuttle to a $5 backpacker hostel, spent the night out with a bunch of volunteers, and ended up having a good time. I also danced, though ended up finding out my dance partner was a prostitute. So disapointing. She seemed so nice, and said I danced well. Oh well, I should know the color of my skin here attracts people thirsty for western cash. After all, a days wage here is less than $4.

Talk more later,
