and here i am, back from the most boring city i've ever been to: montevideo. i spent only one day there but it felt like three weeks. i roamed around the city, trying to find something interesting, in vain. i'm not sure whether the city is really boring in the first place or if i had bad luck but february is supposed to be an exciting month because of the carnival. still, since it rained most of the time, nothing took place. plus, most of the people i was confronted with looked so bored, especially the guy who worked at the tourism office, who was unable to tell anywhere special to go to (and when i say nowhere, it doesn't mean that he suggested places which i thought were not interesting, it means he couldn't suggest anything at all). however, astonishingly enough, i found an escape in this kingdom of boredom: as i was dragging my feet around the pavement, i spotted a star* and i decided to paparazzi her. so here are my shots.
* montevideo people (i'm much too lazy right now to try to find the proper adjective for that) were amazed as we strolled around: everyone thought carine looked like naomi campbell. it looked as if she were the first real black person they'd ever seen.
another weird thing about montevideo is that they hardly have any traffic light for walkers, only those for the cars
