dentist fun!
well as many of you know the cost of things down here is much less than at home, so i thought i would take the time to go to the dentist (i dont have dental insurance at home and its quite expensive) here its about $60 pesos ($20u.s.) to get your teeth cleaned at a very nice office - i believe it would cost well over $100 in the u.s. - so i got my teeth checked out and cleaned. end of story right? nope, the dentist told me i had a cavity - and did i want it filled? thats where the fun starts, see my spanish is pretty good now, but still, medical terms not to mention when you are a little nervous it gets tougher to understand. so, i called kathy who tried to understand but also wasnt 100% sure, so we then called our best bilingual friends desiree and sergio (sergio didnt answer his phone) and desiree helped to translate that i had a small cavity and its no big deal - i decided to think about it for a day. i returned had it filled and so for a nominal fee i had a cleaning and cavity filled. another nice experience here in buenos aires
