Hannah Luano (front) sits on a dock in Colonia, Uruguay. Luiano said one of the most difficult parts of returning to the U.S. was speaking primarily English and adjusting to rural life in her hometown of McPherson after leaving the hectic energy of the city.
CULTURE FROM PAGE 6
Lujano found the men were free with their thoughts concerning women.
"It was an off day when we weren't complimented by men at least a handful of times whenever we left our apartment," she said. "This made us nervous at first, but we came to accept it like all of the other women in Buenos Aires."
Bogossian and Lujano said returning from speaking primarily Spanish to their native English has been rough.
"At the end of a conversation I want to say 'ciao,' but everyone is like, 'what are you saying?' Bogosian said.
A traditional Argentine dinner is at
9 p.m. or later. At lujano's host house,
this was at least a two-hour affair. She
quickly learned to take advantage of the afternoon tea and snack, the merienda, after class.
One thing the two haven't had any problem adjusting to is homestyle food in the States. The first thing Lujano did when she got home was eat a burrito with her best friend and boyfriend, and Bogossian's grandma made her a huge, American lunch complete with ham, pototaoes and strawberry pound cake.
"While you're there, the whole time you're like, 'I would love to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, I would love a cheeseburger now, that sounds so good.' And then you get back and you're like 'I wish I could eat this from Argentina,' Bogossian said. "Wherever you are, you want the other type of food."
The short amount of time meant
that the group had to take advantage of every opportunity to explore the city and culture. Sitting on the plane back to the U.S. Bogossian had a "minor freak-out."
"I was just like, 'have I enjoyed Buenos Aires enough and seen everything I wanted to see? Because what are the chances of me coming back?" she said.
"Six weeks is definitely not enough time to become bilingual, what we learned came mostly from outside of the classroom," Lujano said. "We benefitted immensely from the cultural immersion. The reality of South America is intoxicating, terrifying and stunning."
