Hugh's Internship Experience in Buenos Aires

My name is Hugh Fitzpatrick. I'm from Australia. I just finished two and a half months with Mente Argentina, doing their internship program and Spanish courses. From the very first evening I arrived, when Ari met me at the apartment, it was a really good experience. Ari looked after me really well. David was always great with his emails about any questions or issues I had. I stayed in a shared apartment with three other people, and they were all really cool. It was great meeting people from Belgium and Switzerland, and more Swiss people. I would really recommend Mente Argentina. They set you up with some really good activities, and it's really easy to meet people who are here for a similar amount of time. I definitely made friends I can now see on my future travels. Activities we did, like the Argentine Experience, making empanadas in the shape of interesting things, were good fun, and La Bomba del Tiempo on Monday nights was always great. There were also pub crawls, tours to La Boca, graffiti tours, and going to the Teatro Colón, which was really good. I had an absolutely great time, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish, get a good reference from the organization you work with, and just have a blast. So do it.
