Bien robbed

And as traveling can teach you, ultimately all you have is yourself. So, vale la pena to invest in that.

On friday I was having a beer with some buddies when two girls came up to the table and started asking about the resturant, they were nicely dressed but one of them seemed out of it. Attempting to help them, I leaned forward in my chair trying to understand their slurred spanish. When they finally walked away, I looked down at my feet and saw that my backpack had been taken.... with my computer, my wallet, my cellphone, headphones, 3 spanish books, and a scarf from a dear friend...

With no way of getting money, having lost all my photos from Argentina thus far, and no way of getting in touch with anyone, I cried. Cancelled my credit cards within 24hours, but still incurred $500 of fake charges to a perfume store and sports store. Awesome.

I'm getting over the loss of the stuff, still lamenting the loss of my photos and scarf... live and learn I guess.

Funny add-on is that a friend from the states sent me down a package 2 weeks ago, and it actually contained a wallet from Hanover. Would have been great, except that it got taken from the mail. Robbed twice, in 4 days.
