America Studio All Suites Buenos Aires

Mein erster Tag in Südamerika.
Mein erster Tag in Buenos Aires.
Mein erstes Steak.
Mein erstes Mal Dulce de Leche (für Napo)
Mein erster Tag in meinem Reiseleben :-)

Ich hatte einen sehr schöner Start hier und fühle mich gar nicht fremd.
Alles ist irgendwie vertraut - viel vertrauter als ich dachte.

Es ist ein ...

... need to visit an art museum because around every street corner there seems to be a beautiful work of art, whether it be a statue, mural, or mosaic.

Argentineans know how to R.I.P I must say, the Recoleta cemetery is a must see. It’s a very large, brick walled cemetery with thousands of tombs that are like little buildings with little front doors and a small flight of stairs leading down to the coffins. Many of the older tombs have broken ...

Just a few more things to finish off our time in Buenos Aires before we move on.

On our return to BA from San Antonio de Areco we went to hear some live jazz at Club Thelonius, whi has two shows a night and features local and overseas acts. We heard two sets from a local sextet, who were a bit patchy. The horns were great, but one of the two keyboard players was stuck in the ...

... but I should share something with you. I am more scared of juvenile delinquents than I am of grown-up assailants. Kids don´t have a proper sense of consequences. I reckon they would just whack you for the fun of it. Also, you can´t defend yourself against twelve year olds. Can you really imagine clocking some little ******* in the face? Much as they may deserve it, it would be a hard thing to do. And chances are you would bring down masses of older brothers/fathers should you ...

... according to the official statistics. The government was able to work out debt-restructuring arrangements with foreign investors and return to the capital markets. In walking around BA, I could see no visible signs of absolute economic collapse less than a decade earlier. Much as I remarked when walking the streets of Bangkok, it is a testament to the people at the ground level - the average laborer, shopkeeper ...

... till 10.30-11ish and then go out drinking and dancing till 8 in the morning. Not quite in the swing of it yet, but I´m sure we´ll survive!!! ;-) Have been cooking up some feasts in the hostel with the cheap beef fillet that you can get out here. Not the standard pasta and sauce fare of most of the travellers. Mmm jealous looks all around! Went to a massive student night in a huge club the other night. Drank far to much. The shots out ...

Visited the la boca side of buenos aires today seriously dodge area. we got the bus there but got off one stop too early as we didnt have a clue. the state of the two of us looking at the lonely planet book to see where we were suppost to go luckily one of the locals took pity on us n told us where to go and where not to go this was lucky as we seemed to be headin in the direction we shouldnt. the place was ...

... first and also that all the Volkswagens raced (which finished in 5th, 2nd and 1st places if I remember correctly) were manfactured in South Africa. This truly was a day to remember! Tigre is one of the most popular riverfront towns about 1 hour North from BA. We didn't realise that BA does not front on the ocean. But the brown Rio de a Plata, a river which ends in a delta with 5000+ islands between Argentina and Uruguay. We made a day-trip of it and enjoyed a 1.5hour ...

... museum we wandered through the rose garden, past the planetarium and stopped at a restaurant called El General. This restaurant is dedicated to the memory of the Perons with memorabilia displayed throughout the room - including a voting box next to a bust of Evita, reminding the role that Evita played in obtaining the vote for women. It was a great lunch choice prior to our heading off to the Evita Museum. This museum is ...

... even without the crowd!



From there we walked around the corner and climbed up into the press area.

Here we were able to sit in the manager's 'hot seat', in the room used for press ...
