Romantic street scene with rain

You know those movie scenes when the person is standing on the side of the street trying to cross and a car splashes them with water as it drives past. 

Yes, that happens in real life. After I had walked down the road from the school to the bus stop in the unrelenting downpour without my umbrella or raincoat, I proceeded to wait for my damned N5 bus for a few minutes, and while I tried to dodge the stares of the scummy Latin American men, a motorcycle tore past a car on my side, drowning my starving, cold, and wet body with filthy Córdoba street water. I sobbed. That was the only thing I could do. Sob. 

And then I got over it and went back to wondering what we were going to have for dinner at 11pm, hopelessly hoping that there would be leftovers for tomorrow's lunch that I will probably not get anyways. 

Here's to you, Argentina.
