OK, maybe I'm not mean

So I saw two boys that sell watercolors playing with their cell phones tonight. Can you really be that hard up if you have a cell phone?

More fun with translations
So I got this flyer handed to me tonight. It's triangle-shaped, and at the top is a female insignia. Below it says 'great party for girls' and under that 'cafeta club.' At first I figured someone mistook me for a woman again. But then I flipped it over, and there's a scale with the female logo outweighing the male logo, and it says 'all girls free pass and drinks.' Ah, a great party for girls, now I get it. It also says 'Enjoy the best party this Friday. Come and find out anything you want! Note: Crazy Meeting in the terrace (sic).' How can I not pass up a Crazy Meeting? Plus, I can find out all sorts of stuff, like why the Catholic Church is so lame, and what's the question that answers 42. If anyone has any pressing questions, email me quick and I'll find out for you!

I think perhaps I jumped the gun on calling my host family middle-class. What was keeping me from calling them something higher on the income scale was the fact that the man is a schoolteacher, and when he told me his wife worked for the Peruvian tourist ministry, he made a typing motion with his hands, so I thought 'teacher+typist=not super rich.' But I think now that what I thought was a neighbors house is also their house (plus they have a car), and actually I have a whole 800 sq. ft. house to myself. I came home tonight, and they told me they don't really eat dinner, but they had a lite supper prepared for me, which I ate alone at a table that can seat 8 people in a large empty house. It was kind of uncomfortable, actually. I didn't want to make any noise in there! But the city is busy tonight, many political rallies in the square, lots of people out. I tried to talk to some people about the rallies, but all I got was a Bolivian guy who wanted to sell me some stuff that would make my eyes go squinty for 6 hours, according to him. Friggin' fantastic. I was going to post y'all some pictures from my host family's house, but once again Blogger isn't cooperating.
