being black in argentina (explored)

in argentina, being the only black guy everywhere I go means alot of things; that naturally i'll attract alot of attention, making me the subject of an unusual amount of adoration, curiosity and scrutiny -- this young porteña of course, being no exception.

 

seriously, i walked around the corner last night to get some empanadas, and once i got inside the restaurant, the WHOLE staff emerged from every possible woodwork to greet me; with their best renditions of an urban american accent, it was quite funny.
