a refreshing change of luck

Well, after a usually unbearably boring week, last friday (yesterday) was a refreshing, and enjoyable change of pace.  Here's how it went.  First, after FINALLY getting in contact with my good friend Vicky, I spent the late afternoon until about 11 hanging out with her, which was fun.  The usual, her attempting to speak english with me, me laughing at her making up words, and then her criticizing my every error in spanish.  Which is good, because there are very few people that really (intelligently) teach me good spanish like she does.  At around 11:30, I was on my way home, when a car pulled up.  The driver beckoned me closer, at first I thought it was someone asking for directions.  Turns out, it was a (15-year-old) kid from my school, who asked me if I wanted to go to Cuba Libre (the dance club) tonight.  I said yes, and he sold me an entrance ticket for 20 pesos (it's 30 usually, and there was some special DJ there that night).  I mean hey, go out dancing and partying for 5 american dollars.  That's pretty ok as far as I'm concerned.  He told me to wait in front of the club for them at around 1:30.  So, 1:30 rolls around, and I wait.  15 minutes later, I'm still waiting for him, so I just decide to go in, since I have the pass anyway.  Upon entering, after I squeeze my way through the extremely crowded pista 1 (the first dance floor, the club has 3) I stumbled into some friends that I hadn't seen since before I left for Hernando almost 2 months ago.  So, I stuck with them for a little bit.  I noticed that the guy wrapped around my friend Rut was blonde and didn't look anything like an argentinian, but didn't think anything of it at first.  After awhile, the girls went to the bathroom, and I talked to him for a little bit.  Turns out, he's a danish exchange student living in El Dorado, a town about 2 hours from here, and he was here with some other exchange students.  nice!  He eventually introduced me to his friend from Quebec, and another girl from Italy living in Iguazú (I forget everyone's names, unfortunately).  I generally stuck with them for the rest of the night, being that the girls just kind of came and went.  I was introduced to a gazillion people, and given tons of free drinks, (non-alcoholic of course, being a rotary exchange student ;)) which was pretty sweet.  We then decided to venture to the other dancefloor in search of different girls.  once we arrived at the main one, we found a pleasant surprise.  On each of the two poles, there were two REALLY attractive girls, wearing REALLY small underwear.  So that's why I bought a special entrance pass.  Fuckin' A.  After meandering around there for awhile, enjoying the view, (the girls eventually went to the VIP upstairs) we went up to the VIP, me having the original intent of finding where those girls went.  So we were upstairs, and suddenly this midget (yes, that's right) lady starts dancing with me.  Not that I think she's attractive, or really want to dance with her that much, but i figure, hey, I'm in argentina, how often does weird and crazy shit like this happen.  She left shortly though, because I couldn't control my urge to laugh...Eh, what the hell.  It was weirdly fun (and incredibly humorous) while it lasted.  So, distracted from my original intent, I chatted with a brazilian girl for a little bit, and then went downstairs.  We kept dancing until about 5:30 or so, and then left (about dawn, since it's summer right now) I was incredibly hungry when I got home around 6 (I walked) so I ate a HUGE bowl of rice before going to bed.  overall, pretty enjoyable day/night.
