the what?

Yuhu everybody out there! :)

Yesterday we went to a new "villa" called La Union hace la Fuerza (unionen skaper styrken).
We were there to give English Lessons, but also generally just to play with the children.

I sat down next to a girl who was around 12 years old, and the conversation went something like this:
AK: what do you want to do?
girl: I want you to teach me the difference between the present simple and the present compound.
AK: eh..what?
girl: I want you to teach me the difference between the present simple and the present compound.
AK: really? you sure? you sure you don't wanna play a game instead? look, here's a cool game!
girl: Yes, I'm sure.

Don't worry, we did eventually get our grammar grove on.

And later during the evening we went to a La Bomba de Tiempo drum/percussion show in a cultural center called Konex. Here is a picture of us having dinner first:


The taxi-driver took on a father-like role as he was driving us there
"You see these streets? Very bad neighbourhood. Don't walk here alone.
And when the restaurant gives you the bill, make sure you look over that the prices are the same as in the menu. And don't trust anyone!"

This was a guy who was giving out free candy in his cab. Haha.
