Today, the 21st of September, is the first day of spring in Argentina. It's also Día del Estudiante so the parks are full of students hanging out having picnics (and quite a few gentlemen in uniforms making sure no one does anything too naughty). All in all it seems like a pretty merry occasion for the blossoming of young love.
I was searching on Clarin earlier to find out more about Springtime Seasonal Affective Disorder (a sort of anxiousness mixed with depression that a lot of teenagers experience during this time) and I found this.
It's taking citizen journalism to the next level by asking people to send in photos and videos of themselves engaged in their best kiss. It's kind of disgusting but in a country where public displays of affection are commonplace, I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Anyway I'm so happy that it's spring I've decided to banish my apparent writers block.. if it's possible to do such a thing. So watch this space. I can't wait for the Jacaranda to bloom and for the humidity to filter back in.
