I've just spend 2 months in the US of A travelling with family and visiting friends! Its been AMAZING. I had never spent this long in the world's police land- ha, they have such interesting view of themselves. Anyhow, I've been quite immersed in their culture, with their youth and it has been really incredible. What most surprised me was how, in general, they know A LOT about their country, the different laws in all their states, their politics- and not only do they know, but are quite strongly oppinionated, which is quite cool! However, obviously depending on who you are talking to, don't expect too much knowledge on ANY other country (but i knew this before coming so it wasn't an issue) and expect everyone to think that Mexico is a drug land, which you should not at any cost go to (ugh fricking media).<br />
<br />
So during my time here I was introduced with several political thoughts, traditions, stereotypes, history, tv shows, drinking games etc. etc. and one of my favourite and which I will carry on engaging with was The Colbert Report, which is broadcasted at 11.30 pm on Comedy Central or you can also watch it online at:<a href="http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/shows/TheColbertReport"> http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca/shows/TheColbertReport</a>. Its a great political comedy show, if you want to be up to date with american politics in a fun way! It also just happened to win the Emmy Award for Best Variety Series- breaking the decade long ' The Daily's Show' winning streak!!!! I just wanted to share it cause I had no idea it existed and Im a huge fan now!!<br />

My farm in Uruguay...<br />
<div>
You know those places where you feel at complete peace, where you are far from all the hysteria, stress, non-stop rhythm of city life? Well, that's what my farm is for me...where I can be alone with my thoughts, just myself, and nature. Which is what I need right now in the middle of exams, snow and cold. So I thought I would go through my pictures and with calm music just pretend I am there for a few seconds. One can dream (and procrastinate) right?</div>

Today's post is about one of my favourite places in the world, where I lived 3 years ( and where I want to get married, not even close of having a boyfriend, but that is just a minor detail haha). It's Mendoza, Argentina's wine capital, a place that has an enchantment like few others, a place I once called home and where many of my best friends live.<br />
So here go some pictures of Mendoza "La tierra del sol y del buen vino" ( Mendoza, Land of sunshine and good wine)<br />

However I hereby <b>promise</b> to begin again, full on, posting at least once a week. On the plus side, I have accumulated tons of great pictures of my holidays! So I will have loads to post on- and once that is done, I can start posting on my life here in Bath...<br />

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: center;">This summer...I got to volunteer as a <b>London 2012 Gamesmaker</b>!!!!!!!!! I cannot describe how amazing the experience was. I love every second, these were some of the highlights: 1) walking through the olympic park in the morning when it was all empty except all the purple-uniformed-gamesmakers 2) Talking to people from all over the world. 3) Listening to the Brazilian, Argentinean and UK national anthems 4) Getting a free ticket from a friend's of my mom to watch the closing ceremony!!!! When I was a kid I used to dream of going to the Olympics and representing my country, I guess dreams do come true, not exactly playing a sport as I had dreamed of, but I was there. I was a part of London 2012 Olympics.</span></div>

It seriously was one of the most incredible 3 weeks of my life! The energy was spectacular, the sports performances were unbelievable... the determination, courage, hard work that all the athletes and organizers put into it, is beyond admirable...Olympics are really the greatest show on earth- and I recommend everyone who ever has the chance of participating in any way, DO IT! You won't regret it!<br />

So, here are a few pictures of "Carolina", The St. Regis Punta Mita french restaurant. One of my favourites of Punta Mira, for certain the finest of them all. I forgot to take pictures of the pretty entrees, but here are some of the main plates and desserts, the pictures <span style="background-color: white;">really </span><span style="background-color: white;">don't do justice to the delicacy and fine taste of the dishes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Just like mother's, father's, dog's etc. days are, it is really purely commercial. However, in South America we love any excuse to show affection to each other, celebrate and spend time with our friends...so Friendship day...is a big day! I'm in Mexico visiting my parents, kind of far away from my friends...but here is a small celebratory post!

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On another note, still on the friendship matter, this week I met up with 2 people I hadn't seen for 10 years. That is, I was 10 years old when I last saw them, pretty amazing and weird huh?! It was exciting, strange, fun and a tad awkward admittedly, but after the ice was broken, it felt so natural, as if we</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> had grown up together. We reminisced over micheladas, got lost in the city, played tennis, cooked.It got me thinking... people grow up, people change, however they tend to remain true to their essence. Even after 10 years, you can still recognize that little boy/girl and why you called them your friend...and although sometimes you don't share that much in common anymore ( happened with another friend I re-encountered last year), sometimes you do- and those are friendships that will last forever ( a bit corny I know...but true).</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I had the amazing luck to spend 6 months in living in one of the most amazing cities in the world ( I am biased..I've always loved Sydney). I think its partly the magic of being by the sea, the fact that everyone is so chilled back and sporty...There is some kind of special energy in the air. Haha, enough daydreaming, let me give you a bit of background:<span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I went to Sydney for my 1st, 6 month industrial placement; I worked at HSBC ( I never ever imagined I would work in a bank...but life sometimes works in strange ways) and I also did waitressing in events at the Four Seasons. I don't know how I did it, but I still had time (and energy!) to enjoy everything Sydney has to offer! Unfortunately I went from July-December, so only got a few months of summer (hence not so many summer pics), but that didn't stop me from falling head over heels (even more than before) for the city!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 13px;">Bondi! My favourite! You should hang out in North Bondi, thats where the 'locals' go! If you are feeling sporty, the Bondi-Coogee walk is really woth it, it's around 6 km ( 3.7 miles) and you walk past a few of Sydney's most beautiful beaches. I regret not getting a tattoo done here :/ (I'm a wuss though, I doubt I'll ever do one)</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Darling Harbour...one of the several 'tourists musts'. The second picture is the boat where we had HSBC's mid-year party! There are several clubs/bars along the water, my favourite club here is Cargo Bar, the crowd is really nice and international, Tip: try to get on the guestlist, to have access to the top floor!<br />Musts at Darling Harbour: Go to the IMAX, have lunch somewhere overlooking the CBD, if you're a sweet tooth, Pancakes at the Rocks is your place- but beware, the portions are huge!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Sydney's nightlife offers something for everyone...In the famous, King's Cross, you will find a bit of everything, strip clubs, posh clubs, LGBT clubs, its quite, let's say...interesting. ( I got attacked by a homeless when leaving a club in this area, she thought I was 'stealing her taxi'...but that's a story for another time), My favourite is Hugo's and their pizzas are to die for (bottom picture)!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The first picture was taken at Oxford Art Factory, its what my friend called an 'alternative' nightclub, but the music is reaally good and sometimes they do live performances. Other of my favourites are: The Argyle, Golden Sheaf and Ivy</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Top 3 Bars to go to:<br />1. The Winery at Surry Hills, a chique and relaxed place, great for having a glass of wine in the terrace during summer and a few nibbles (dont have a proper meal, too expensive for what it is); but do go inside and take a look at the decoration!</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2.Grandma's bar, located in the CBD, its super cute with grandma-like rocking chairs and quilts! Careful though, cause it's small and gets packed real quick!<br />3. La Bodeguita del Medio, is a cuban restaurant and bar- highly recommendable for drinks and to have a good time, but maybe its just cause I felt at home with the Latin music and scribbled walls ( graffiti is big in South America) . However, from an unpartial point of view, their mojitos are gooooood!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My first blog post!!! I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while now, I had the
marvellous idea in the middle of assignment due-ins and exams, and although I
am a master at procrastination- I decided a start-up blog was taking it a biiiiit
too far. So here I am, in Mexico, in my LAST EVER 4 month holidays, with a part
time summer internship and a relative good amount of free time, starting a
blog!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /><br /><br /> I thought my first post should include two things: a bit <b>about myself and what I will be writing about.</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlbpg8HC1I4TEDgD2mBSIsmiv0A77Q-Cjvt2xr0Dw5Fburq7DP94sAprCm4OXIikMyZZlpZBB-vSxEVYIFbDsR8oYcfUq8jxqkb_nX8wKTtXo8nyYuCY8YzHW3SeC4BR4v9BrNDTWBYQ/s1600/544826_10151808778710074_12637325_n.jpg"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvlbpg8HC1I4TEDgD2mBSIsmiv0A77Q-Cjvt2xr0Dw5Fburq7DP94sAprCm4OXIikMyZZlpZBB-vSxEVYIFbDsR8oYcfUq8jxqkb_nX8wKTtXo8nyYuCY8YzHW3SeC4BR4v9BrNDTWBYQ/s400/544826_10151808778710074_12637325_n.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /><b>Who am I?</b> I am a 20 year old girl, in my second year at University of Bath, studying business administration. I am what people call a ‘Third Culture Kid’: ‘a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents' culture’. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> To put that into context, I have several answers to the question ‘Where are you from?’ The short answer and the one I use the most is: I was born in Uruguay and raised around South America. The long answer, which few people really know ( and I promise to bore you with, just this one time) is the following:<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I was born in Uruguay. My sister was born in Argentina. My Dad was born in Fiji, but his parents are from Australia/ Tonga. My Mum was born in Uruguay, but her parents are from Belgium. They (my parents) met in Switzerland, studying hotel management. Consequently, my life is a never ending journey (literally), I’ve packed up my bags and moved countries more times than an average citizen, lived in houses and in hotels, been in all sorts of schools, been to amazing places and met incredible people. My life so far, is summarized in the timeline below:<br /><br /><br /><br />0 yrs-2 yrs: Montevideo, Uruguay (2 yrs)<br /><br />2 yrs -7 yrs: Buenos Aires, Argentina (5 yrs)<br /><br />7yrs -10yrs: Acapulco, Mexico (3 yrs)<br /><br />10yrs -14yrs: São Paulo, Brasil (4 yrs)<br /><br />14yrs -16yrs: Mendoza, Argentina (2 yrs)<br /><br />16yrs-18yrs: São Paulo, Brasil ( 2 yrs)<br /><br />18yrs-20yrs: Bath, United Kingdom (2 yrs) (6 Months in Sydney, Australia)<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />And that, is the reason behind my blog's title: International Soul.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0431d_YKdKcabMAsQGe_9cNlobIHxAbPHcQemum8NIFfHRv9jZdXyYiqb7n0zi4du_ycGNJ5xzF5Q8pXYxtt7C3lB2nyG-N4_lXM2aysQI9gPYkGmrVeAuiS2N77js-znqvvBfkboFck/s1600/aviation+accident+lawyers.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0431d_YKdKcabMAsQGe_9cNlobIHxAbPHcQemum8NIFfHRv9jZdXyYiqb7n0zi4du_ycGNJ5xzF5Q8pXYxtt7C3lB2nyG-N4_lXM2aysQI9gPYkGmrVeAuiS2N77js-znqvvBfkboFck/s400/aviation+accident+lawyers.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><b> What am I going to write about?</b> Anything and everything really; trips, food, politics, marketing topics, fitness, photogaphy or any random thoughts that cross my mind. I will try to stay away from all the fashion side of blogging , I won’t be having “Today’s look” or any of those fashion bloggers trends...as much as I love following fashion blogs, writing about it is just not “me”.<br /><br /><br /><br /> This blog will ultimately be a place to write my thoughts, feelings and a record of my life.<br /><br /><br /> xxx, Tatiana</span></div>
