... to dance and enjoy the night life. Sometimes we would dance in a show at the Colón or at the popular Club Tortoni, a well known tourist attraction.<br>And of course, soccar is big in this city. But I think one of the most interesting neighborhoods is called La Boca (B.A. has 47 "barrios", neighborhoods similar to New York's burrows). Here the buildings are painted in elaborate contrasting colors. When pictures of ...

... service if I&#8217;m still hungry, I told myself, trying to keep a lid on it.<br> <br>As it turned out, when my steak came, it was a little overcooked, but it was the size of a human child, with tons of sliced potatoes (they have a weird definition of chips down here), perfectly fried, and a gorgeous mushroom sauce. I almost burst into tears with relief. It was bloody lovely. Drank another mini bottle of wine, ate all the bread they brought (and I don&#8217;t even like ...

... It was honestly a humbling experience. Coming across this nugget of wisdom, however, didn&#8217;t make it any easier for me to explain how many of the differences we are experiencing between Argentine and American culture have their roots in the traditional American Protestant work ethic and how my host brother thought it was unbelievable that there was no law against my parents going in to work every weekend&#8230;in Spanish.

... different guitars on the go with different groups. It was really cool to see as this is their culture.<br><br>On Saturday we went to La Boca and did a tour of La Bomboneira stadium which is La Boca Juniors home ground. The pitch was a state - there were 2 guys going around filling in all the cut up bits with sand in preparation for La Bocas last home game of the season on Sunday. Boca Juniors colours are blue and yellow (or gold as they like to call it). Story ...

... meat! They also never sleep; nightlife doesnnt start up until 1 or 2am, and they get home bout 7 or 8am in the morning. Its worth getting up for breakfast though: I have possibly eaten the best crossaints ever here. They also have a love for ´dolce de leche´, which is caramelised condensed milk (though no argentinian would admit this). This accompanied pretty much every pastry you can buy in a bakery. So so good.<br><br>Argentinian (like many SA guys) are ...

... for a game of football. The universal language amongst people across the world. This was surreal. Saturday had arrived and Scott, PT and I were moving to the Splendid Hotel to begin our Patagonian tour with GAP adventures. We were to meet the guide that evening before taking a flight south to El Calafate the next morning. After checking into the Splendid, we headed north to a suburb called Recoleta to watch some English football in a microbrewery serving good beers (though a bit ...

... to one of the more prominent dance clubs, Asia de Cuba for a Boliche experience and had an incredible view of the river and the most famous bridge in Buenos Aires from the veranda.  The bridge is designed to look like the leg of a tango dancer, and is lit with white lights over the river at night.  I also did a lot of sleeping that weekend, I definitely needed time to catch up.  Generally, the Argentines have dinner around ...

... the land annd built the museum to house it. Although it cost 15 pesos (USD4) to visit, when most other museums are free, it was a very impressive collection and its hard to believe it all came from one guy. At home Santi's mother had cooked up a feast and his younger sister and her husband came to visit. We had calamari for entree, chicken for mains and figs in a honey syrup for dessert. It was all delicious although the figs were incredibly sweet.

... Nach dem Fruehstueck und dem Packen unserer Sachen gehen wir kurz ins Internetcafé, Mittagessen und fahren anschliessend zum Busbahnhof. Laufen wollen wir in dieser Hitze nicht, vor allem noch mit dem Gepaeck auf dem Ruecken. Es sind naemlich etwa 35 Grad und kein Woelkchen zeigt sich am Himmel. Um 14.15 Uhr startet unser Bus nach Puerto Iguazu, wo wir um etwa 8.00 Uhr morgens ankommen. Dimarts VI - I - MMIX Avui podré parlar amb els de casa, em fa il.lusió ja ...

... drum solo of its kind I've ever heard, simply because I've never heard anything like it. I've heard guitars reduced to percussion in some African bands, but never the opposite. Roxana Amed played some good Joni Mitchell-style folk/jazz, covering 'Amelia' thoroughly in Spanish, and Ricardo Cavalli played some real nice saxy jazz, but the next real highlight was with the aptly named PWR3. While beloved Argentine classic rock bassist Machi Rufino may be ...
