Dazed and Confused

It’s not just the seasons that are reversed here….it’s the academic schedule.
I can almost hear alice cooper playing in the background. Not sure if kids still participate in the end-of-year book burning ritual in the states……but this isn’t the states.

Granted, I don’t talk to many kids here….and I certainly wouldn’t count anyone under 20 as a close acquaintance, but from a distance, the kids in Montevideo always remind me a little of my cousins who went to high school in the late 70’s and early 80’s in california.

It’s not just the mullets or retro-fashion revival, a little bit of it seems to be the laid back attitude….late night partying….occasionally inappropriate “adult-like” behaviour, and the general laissez-faire attitude among the adults with regard to supervision of their kids…..especially during summer break.

ciao,
