Livian Guest House Buenos Aires

... beginning of the second half and then when there was only about 4 minutes left in the game (of course there was no visible clock, so you had to guess) Peru scored!!! Everyone started going nuts! And then we some how managed to score within the last 3 minutes of the game to win!!! It was such a great game to go to! Afterwards we had to walk for about 20 minutes to get to any bus or subway stop. After about 1 minute of our walk we were all drenched! When I got ...

... and a tasteless packet sauce. It was eaten very painfully for the vegetable content, but we couldnt finish our plates due to disgust. <br> All the party-goers in the hostel got together for a brief drinking game of ring of fire, before heading out to a club called Nicito which was in Palermo. Inside they had a band playing the shittest music ive ever heard, with 1 member dressed in a rabit costume, the lead singer in a constant state of pout, and 1 guy who wore a ...

... long since I went to the zoo that I can't really compare it to anything back home except that it's clear the Argentinians (or at least the Portenos) clearly aren't too bothered about looking after their animals. The polar looked suicidal, the bears were verging on psychotic and the Orangutang was so obese it looked like it could barely move (whether from comfort eating or lack of trees on which to exercise). If anything I imagine it will ...

Buenos Aires is without doubt the most romantic city I have ever been to, the wide green avenues that carve up the city into districts are crammed with beautiful ancient buildings in the style of French and Spanish period architecture and the whole place exudes an air of passion and sensuality. Buenos Aires has an almost European feel to it and like many of the Capital cities of Europe the streets are liberally littered with statues of the heroes of history, the ones ...

... streets containing Irish bars and joined the green invasion. It wasnt exactly a scintillating game but there were many Irish there so Mum and Dad chatting easily and get involved in some backpacker action. Of course Ireland won so that sets up the big grand slam decider next week... oh ya! Sunday After a spot of mass (in Spanish), it was off to Boca`s stadium to watch Boca play one of the samler teams in the league, Independiente. Bocas` form so far ...

... no-you want #41" umm, okay.... Then he proceeded to tell me where the stop for 41 was. Great. As a side note, I am amazed by how well Porteños know the bus system-which bus goes where and where all the stops are. The buses "los colectivos" are crazily complex and run 24 hours. I kind of love them. But its crazy, and yet everyone seems to know... I purchased my 'cheat sheet'-the "Guia T" on my first day here. Its amazingly complex to read ...

... what appears to be the surface of Mars. There is so much good stuff out there to be had, it will be hard to not feel like a couped up battery hen in the city hostel where we are staying for the first week. Waiting, waiting for our beloved bikes to arrive. Zip through customs, 90 day tourist visa stamped in my passport in a matter of seconds and out through the gates to where Pierpaolo is waiting. He has been the advance guard here, with 3 prior weeks of learning Spanish during ...

... also requires at least one trip to the soccer! Unfortunately Boca Juniors were playing away whilst we were in town, but just as fanatical yet not as skillful (bottom of the ladder in fact), arch rivals ´River Plate´ were playing in town! All wearing fake River Plate jerseys picked up from the market and after paying a little extra for ´VIP´ tickets, we were escorted into the safer part of the ground away from the fantatics. The pitch itself is protected ...

... worst drink that I've ever had in my life.<br><br>It was so rank that at one point I was sick in my mouth (nice), before making my way to the gents and cleaning out my mouth!<br><br><br><br>Terrified to order any more weird drinks we had another quick dance and left the club at about 5am, when people were still queueing ...
