After the disappointing moment at the airport and totally exhausted I need to find myself accommodation in Buenos Aires. I didn't want to stay at a hostel in case of the issue with noise. Thank goodness for www.lastminute.com I was able to find this rather centrally located affordable hotel. It is a block from the obelisk yet not too noisy. In s...

Hi every one! I've been for 6 months in Buenos Aires. One of the nicest cities i've never seen before. There are lots of things to do, lots of places to go, and a tastefull food. This time I'm going to talk about San Telmo the oldest area in Buenos Aires. The City was founded by Juan de Garay on this place. the main Street is called Defensa, and...

Buenos Aires! Natuerlich haben wir erwartet, dass es uns gefaellt, aber wir haetten wohl nicht erwartet, dass es uns so gut gefaellt. Und so wurde unser Aufenthalt laenger und laenger.

The strange thing is, that although this entry is dated June 10th, I'm writing it nearer July 10th, almost a month too late. Things have been so hectic since I got back that I have been unable to get a chance to update the blog. And now I am away in Manchester and Canterbury until August whilst my diary, which recorded (in a somewhat blander for...

Yep, it was worth the journey. Buenos Aires is a buzzing and vibrant city. Itīs true what they say about BA being a very European style city. It feels like a combination of Madrid, Paris and London which I think is high praise to give a place. I checked into the VS youth hostel near the centre for 26 pesos a night (about five pounds). The hotels...

Lunch at Miramar, and old school Galician restaraunt and wine shop in the San Cristobal neighborhood (s. juan x saranti). It reminded me of the Argentine version of a forgotten 40's diner in rural North Carolina--old electric fans, bad flourescent lights, ancient Coke sign, yellowed pics on the wall. Except...rows and rows of fantastic Argentine...

This is what I learned from traveling. They started out with simple concepts like packing light, writing a journal, not wasting, sharing, playing, paying attention, listening, trying new things, and keeping balance. I was able to expand them into my own personal mission statement. What's yours? Everybody has one...whether you have written it dow...
