Argenta Tower Hotel And Suites Buenos Aires

... going to happen. Argentina strangely adopted two different types of electrical sockets, one with the European prongs and the other with the Australian prongs, all over the country. Even in one building, two different types of sockets could co-exist on the wall.<br><br>TIP: For US travelers, bring both types of converters when visiting Argentina!<br><br>My next mission was to go shopping for myself and friends. I sort of received a shopping list from some people before ...

... i came to...Av. Cordoba - oops! But i redeemed my conscience by helping some nuns break open a door using a big pole (I hope they were nuns and not armed robbers)! An american even came up to me in a club and said, where did you learn to speak English because you´re really good at it! I was drunk so instead of admitting the truth, i just lied and said that my parents had paid for private lessons when i was younger in the hope that i could move ...

... coffee and snack break called merienda. It is extremely popular and common to take merienda with friends at one of the sidewalk café&#8217;s that can be found on literally every corner. As a lover of both good coffee and good discussion, I have found meriendas to be an excellent source of both. The break is also important since dinner won&#8217;t usually be coming until after 9:00, and it&#8217;s usually just enough to tide you over until then. This could be one ...

... minute walk became a spasticated and rather lost twenty minute wander, thanks to RG`s map placing its marker in utterly and completely the wrong place on the map. When I arrived it was incredibly busy and I had a drink at the bar while I waited for a table twenty minutes. I made a mistake when ordering as I was after a normal steak, but instead got some kind of chopped up concoction covered in a huge mess of potatoes and onions; I`d assumed this would be a ...

... les parents et Mimi mais pas vu ! Je me suis dit que comme ils étaient sénsé arriver vers 8H30, s'il m'avaient attendu (ce que j'avais dit de ne pas faire) ils seraient juste devant l'entrée. Bon, je prends donc un taxis (alors que ce n'est pas dans mes habitudes) pour pourvoir les rejoindre plus tôt et aller manger ensemble. J'arrive à l'hôtel Suipacha Inn et la j'explique que je suis la dernière à arriver et que toute la famille est là ! Une femme me répond ...

... plate of meat, half of which we couldn´t identify. We´re so full right now; lea´s in a food coma right now in our luxury suite. We haven´t decided yet what to do in our remaining hours here tomorrow in BA. We leave tomorrow at 8pm and then it´s time for another 24hrs of travelling. yay. though we´ll miss south america, it will be nice to be back and see our doggies...oh and i guess friends and family too :p

... Boca harbour area which was our second mistake. Half way out we turned down a street and then saw a young family sitting having a bit of a BBQ, the mother looked at us and quickly started looking about her. She then started to wave her arms at us in a stop type gesture all the while looking around. It was soon very clear to me that we had to leave this place now! We quickly turned around fund the first cab and told him to take us back ...

Waking up late the next morning, E and I shuffled down Calle Thames through Palermo and toward the Subte...Buenos Aires' own subway. Outside the plaza de Italia station, we stopped for a quick café at Havanna, Argentina's favorite chain for Café and Alfajores. If you haven't yet experienced one of these cookies, they are (like every treat argentinian) filled with dulce de leche and awesome. The more time we spend here, the more Dulce De Leche we seem to eat...which is not hard ...

I LOVE BUENOS AIRES!! I knew it the first day we were here but more on my new-found love later. I have to tell you another story first: my great laundry adventure. On our second last day in Bariloche, I decided to send some of my clothes to the hotel's laundry service. I looked up the procedure and the prices and got a bit of a shock: EUR 1.50 for a pair of socks!!! I don't think so! Told myself to forget that idea and maybe just wash the essentials myself. When I was ...

... and not be entirely limited to a meager cash supply and a count down plane ticket. <br><br>On the 26th of August 2005, my dream came true and I boarded a plane headed for Buenos Aires in Argentina. <br><br>The plan <br>Beginning in Buenos Aires, I planned to travel South to Ushuaia, the worlds Southern most city and the gateway to Antarctica. I would then travel North, overland all the way to Alaska. It was a massive journey, which seemed more like a ...
