Last week has been going good, missed one spanish lesson, but can't really blame myself when it was on a Friday and didn't get home til 8am or so the 'night' before. Typically when people go out in Argentina they don't get back until very late since the nightlife really doesn't even get going until 2-3AM. Went over to stdjog's place the other day for an asado (Argentinian BBQ basically) which was great. A lot of amazing food.

Yesterday went over to my friend Matias' house and his girlfriend made a great Mexican dinner. Some Swedish poker playing friends were there as well and everyone had a good time. My friend from back home is flying out on Friday for a week so I won't be playing as much poker as I'd like, but will be a lot of fun. I'm excited to show him the city since he has never been to South America before I'm sure it will be a new experience for him.

I've also been busy planning my trip to Europe at the end of the month. I'll be going to San Remo EPT and Monte Carlo EPT as well. I was looking at hotels in San Remo and it seems like most of the good ones are already sold out for the most part so may have to find one in a nearby city.

After EPT's I'm planning to go to Amsterdam then to Mallorca and Las Canarias in Spain to visit some friends who I studied with in Sweden that I haven't seen in a year. Also looking forward to 5 de mayo in Spain!

Poker has kind of been, well I guess a 'grind' would be the best word to describe it. Have played another 10k hands or so losing about 40k. Pretty frustrating stretch of hands but that's poker and there's not much I can do but play my best. I won't bore you with bad beats or complaining b/c that really doesn't help anyone and is pretty pointless. Still having an OK month, but probably won't play as much hands as I would like. That's ok though, I have played a ton the last few months and am looking forward to having another break from poker.

Also having a hell of a time getting neteller or moneybookers to work with me. Both of them seem to have just terrible support. Especially neteller. I am actually happy that they won't let me use their services because they are just so annoying to deal with.

I was using the livechat on their website and had an operator that was probably slightly more intelligent than a rock, or maybe a tree. I asked to speak with a supervisor after wasting my time for 30 minutes to an hour with this clown. After I asked for a supervisor he says 'ok one moment'. Then he comes back and IMPERSONATES the supervisor. After wasting another 15 minutes of my time, I thought there is no way there couple be a supervisor this stupid, and finally got to talk to someone. How insane is that?

Best of luck to all, and I'm looking forward to making my next video!
