When you don't have a tv and you get tired of talking/listening to yourself - where do you head? For me it was the local Video shop, 2 minutes walk away, depending on the weather.
Once it started to get dark and much colder earlier I decided that home was the place to be and although the computer provides plenty of options for listening and watching, once the internet goes down, things go pretty quiet. So videos have become a source of entertainment and education.
I started choosing those in Spanish only and have watched just about all of them I think,( and caught up on all the new releases, with Spanish subtitles of course) and my friend in the video shop, Carlos Alberto, has recommended many excellent Spanish language movies. Recently there have been a number produced that cover the years of the Military Dictatorships here, and I must admit they are very difficult to watch at times, but certainly provide an insight into the history of Argentina.
I have also learned lots about local life and Argentinian life from my amigo del Video. Muchas gracias amigo.
