Hotel Conte Buenos Aires

... when in Rome, do what the Romans do. This is the number one place in the world for beef, and at the number one restaurant, plus when we got there we chose the number one most expensive wagu beef on the menu. It almost wasnīt like eating meat at all, as it was so soft it melted in your mouth. We both couldnīt believe how good it was, and had a great night as the packed little restaurant. The waiter, and our friends who joined us from from the hostel where in good ...

... country of Argentina. It is also the second biggest metropolitan place in the entire South America.

Buenos Aires is located along Rio de la Plata and is the richest city in South America and this can be attributed to its beauty and picturesque locations which attract tourists from all over the world.

... tickets. Ok well our firend Pipi bought the tickets for us and we were still under the impression we were going to a club. Then, we find out that itīs not really a club, but more of a concert. And all anyone would really tell us is that thereīs like drums and everybody is dancing and that itīs so much fun and they just canīt explain it. And we here this story from like 5 people, they just canīt exlpain it. Itīs just a really amazing experience ...

... lost because we didn't speak each others language well, but maybe not. I like San Telmo. There are antiques markets all over on Sumdays - most seem to be selling junk, but then I'm no expert and wasn't really interested. Another great district is Palermo Soho. This is named after Soho in New York, with which there are many similarities and not the one in London. Its a big nightlife area, but its also pleasant to stroll in the day. Much ...

... if you are not trekking the Inca trail then you don't need to acclimatise in Cusco it is a nice city but spend the extra time in MachuPicchu or else where. 5.Don't waste time in Lima its not a very nice city there are much nicer places to spend time. 6. Have heaps of memory for you camera you will need it. You can download to CD in cusco, BA, Ushuaia and Aguas Calientis. you can print photos in Cusco, BA and Ushuaia ...

... A good overview of the place. Nice, vibrant city. Compared to other South American cities I've been in, its very western and very expensive, but they actually drive on the correct side of the road without their hand on the horn, which seems to be the indicator of where they sit in the table of developed nations.

In the evening I went to a Tango show. Its a bit like a theatre cabaret show. You get a dinner first ...

... much needed Air con and a mini bar!!. We walked round Palermo after arriving yesterday, sampled our first Quilmes beer (very cold and much needed) and found the whole area to be very friendly. Its a bit like Islington/upper street (but with sun, and no mention of Ars**al!!!), lots of street cafes, trendy bars and loads of great restaurants, but its mainly used by locals as the tourists go to the central area, so it does feel ...

... Freedom is within. It is liberation from expectations and limiting perceptions." · "The greatest freedom of all is to realize that you no longer need to live imprisoned by expectations and self-imposed limitations." · "Life is like a hallway with many doors leading to various rooms of experience." As I sit on the plane, I reflect on these concepts, and I feel my mind opening to possibilities. I affirm that I will give myself the gift of time ...

... ten days in Buenos Aires and had a super time ... itīs the most time I have spent in one stopover if you exclude the longer-term Spanish School and Peru Volunteering stints so apologies this will be a rather lengthy blog entry ! BA is up there amongst the best places on my trip and has definitely been some of the biggest party times. BA runs to itīs own clock in terms of nightlife and you basically need to become nocturnal ... people think about eating around 10 ...

... The downstairs was transformed to a dance floor which included a dj and full bar.  One of the complaints about this hostel is that you can hear music throughout the building late at night.  The club went till the wee early morning but since I can sleep through anything, it didn't really bother me.  For others, the trick is to do things during the day that get you so exhausted that your body shuts off right when you hit the bed.
