... terraces at one end of the ground. The crowd was passionate, but well behaved, with lots of singing, chanting, and jumping up and down. There was no alcohol and we weren´t blasted by loud-speakers, which was a pleasant change from New Zealand. Whenever Boca conceded a goal, there was little anger or frustration - everyone just sang and chanted louder and harder.<br><br>As for the game itself, Boca lost 2-3, but the game had everything - fantastic ...

... crossed what is supposed to be the widest avenue in the world, 450 metres with 18 lanes of traffic. At one end in the middle of the road is the French embassy, built in the style of a French Château, the Argentinians tried to but it from the French to finish the road but they would not sell and so the road has to go around it. We then went to the train station to see how easy it is to use, no problems at all, and next to it to see a monumental tower. The tower was a gift from ...

Today we are out of clothes or rather I've got tired of wearing used items, remembering that I surrendered space in my rucksack for schoolbooks, medical kit and electronics items. Off to our first visit to the launderette before our fourth day at Spanish school. Without a tv and limited internet access we are almost ignorant of news and I have been curious by the growing number of masked clad locals. I was a little take aback when the launderette manager said in a disturbingly ...

... plenty of craft markets to tempt my inability to stick to a budget, and of course we are still surrounded by beautiful people and a beautiful language. Its all very pleasing to look and listen wherever you go. Saturday afternoon consisted of exploring La Recoleta Cemetery, in the ´wealthy´ suburb of Recoleta.. famous for being the burial place of the much loved Eva Peron (otherwise known as Evita). So of course we sought her out first, which wasn't too hard ...

... e mais microscopique: douche, toilette et lavabo imbriqué sur moins d'1m². Dans la chambre, la pluie perce le toit et l'eau s'infiltre le long des murs jusque sous les lits qui sont séparés car j'avais oublié de demander un lit double. Pour remédier à cela, un petit réagencement du mobilier est nécessaire. Nous n'y restons que 2 nuits et ça nous suffit amplement. J'annule les autres nuits dans ce taudis (Palermo Soho hostel, surtout n'y allez pas!) et je réserve la chambre double de la ...

... really open so we spent the day socialising with an English couple we met, played pool and got drunk. Having not planned ahead for an Xmas meal we walked around B.A for a while until we stumbled across a Burger King. Our Xmas dinner was 2 of the largest whopper meals possible (to soak up the beer) and a "salad" (to substitute the brussel sprouts). We would have loved a traditional Xmas meal but it was still a good experience! General Stuff Boca - This ...

... from the outside. The tomb of San Martin, the nation's liberator was really impressive.    The buildings are truly grand and yes the pavements are in a bad state and the traffic is horrendous but the buzz in this city is addictive. Another afternoon was spent strolling around Puerto Madero, BA's old docklands that are now the most fashionable address in the city.    That afternoon, I ended up at the Plaza de Mayo ...

... which are home to private spas and resorts. We decided to get the cheapest boat (about $5) to an island 30 minutes away called "Tres Bocas", which is "Three Mouths" in English. It was just fun to ride around in the boats, see all the islands, walk around a bit, have a nice lazy lunch, etc. There wasn't actually much to do, but it was a fun and pretty inexpensive day trip. So far, my extremely fashionable security wallet (pictured) with rope ...

... parts of a cow we would not normally eat. It was like an episode of fear factor. Most people here dont know english, so it is hard to comunicate with my limited spanish skills. I will be screwed in brazil because i dont know any portuguese. A girl at the store asked me my name. I told her and she says ¨.that is strange:. ha ha ha. we are going to a tango show tonight. then to iguacu tomorrow.

... and their mom is an English teacher, so I figured what the hell. I do learn some **** but the problem is she is a highschool teacher and she teaches like she teaching a highschool student. She`s really nice but I can tell if I was in school she would have been one of the teachers I disliked. She just has that attitude where you can tell she thinks she is much more intelligent than you are and in this particular case she obviously is. I learn a good ...
