Con Paciencia... como la uva


No tengo paciencia con la uva! Uvas are grapes, and here they have seeds. It is an EFFORT to eat them and as my host mom says... it requires patience. Pero vale la pena (it's worth it). Argentines in general are very patient. We were taught the very first week about "Argentine time" which is approximately a half an hour after any aforementioned time. We had to learn to simply be patient and go with the flow... or be perpetually frusterated. When wondering about the source of this attitude- I think grapes. The simplest things require patience here, living without it would simply not work.
