Hotel Napoleon Buenos Aires

... dat spoorde de fans alleen maar extra aan. Met de climax in blessure tijd. We waren met een aantal mensen van het hostel naar de wedstijd gegaan en we kwamen totaal doorweekt maar uitbundig terug.<br><br>Verder heb ik afgelopen week een tango les gehad. Not my cup of tea, maar wel leuk om een keer te doen. Komende week wil ik graag een tango show bezoeken om te kijken hoe de professionals de dans doen.<br><br>Dichtbij het ...

... br>Night life in BA: The night life here is insane! Or at least in comparison to the States, but apparently it is very similar to the night life in Europe. Clubs, or boliches as they are called here, do not even open until about 2 am, meaning it is common not to get home until 6 or 7 am! I have yet to stay out this late, as I get tired way too easily for this kind of partying. Most people will go to bars before the boliche and then head over in ...

... tell you the tale of a young Washington area couple I met in Mendoza. They flew with Delta airlines into Miami and then boarded a plane for Santiago, Chile ...

Had a good nights sleep last night, to say we were on a bus. Woke up about 9am and they put another film on - Quantum of Solace! Just can't get away from this film. Saw it first in a cinema in Australia, then on a bus in Chile and now on a bus in Argentina! We arrived into Buenos Aires at around 12 noon. This was an hour later than expected, but it didn't matter too much as the journey was so comfortable. We grabbed a taxi to our hostel - Kaixo Hostel ...

... positive side, Argentina is obsessed with The Simpsons. More on this in a subsequent blog entry. However, despite the plethora of foreign brands, almost everything seems to be manufactured in the country and proudly bears the "Industria Argentina" label. However, despite the European and US influence, a deeper inspection reveals the enchanting mix of Latin and foreign cultures that form this wonderful city and country ...

... Livia (a Brazilian girl) who also does the course and Liz who is from Ecuador, who obviously doesn´t need Spanish lessons, but does Film studies at the University here. Both girls are nice and friendly though haven´t been able to talk to Livia as she only speaks Portugese and some Spanish.... After finally finding my way to my bed I was happy to stay there till late the next morning, so by the time I had myself sorted and out of the door it was 12.30 ...

... with the dance. I am very proud of Ryan for being open to see so many "song and dance" shows. On our last day we had the entire day free, before getting an 18 hour night bus to Puerto Iguazu for 3 nights from where we can visit the Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil. We spent the day wandering through Palermo Hollywood's boutiques, flea markets, street stalls and enjoyed a great traditional meal accompanied with great wine over lunch. Ryan made the ...

... his freakish natural talent and results on the field perhaps there is some justification in this. However like Elvis, Maradona comes in 2 variations - the young and gifted wunderkid and the fat, cocaine fueled couch **** he would later become. If you are going to get a tattoo of the man surely they only come in 1 of these variations but No! Local boy has Version 2.0 emblazoned on his back. Debate rages between Pierpaolo and me about which of the **** tats should be on pole ...

... The attendant, handing out maps and recording visitors, became very animated at the mention of Ireland and told me excitedly that Guillermo Brown is entombed there... who? It turns out that a certain William Brown, of Foxford, County Mayo, ended his days as Almirante Guillermo Brown, First Admiral and 'father' of the Argentinian navy, and was laid to rest with great pomp and ceremony here in Recoleta. Bertie was over here ...

... see the room itself was really basic, not at all what I'd expected.<br><br> <br><br>It was cool to be able to see the home showers &amp; baths, although the thought of 15 naked sweaty men wasn't exactly ...
