Hola chickos,
from Salta I came to Buenos Aires, where I was staying for 4 days in a cosy hostel in San Telmo, a tango district! It's located very close to the city centre, offering nice atmosphere and good connection to all "must see" of the city. For first two days I concentrated myself on the city centre, trying to figure out what is the Argentinian way of life (maybe I should say "portenos way of life") all about. Buenos Aires's extremely big, people rush all the time, it's very much similar to the biggest European capitals, like London for instance. Although there are some nice places where you can rest. Besides, people usually live here in one neighbourhood, so it's more like living in a small city.
I saw Puerto Madero, microcentro, a famous Obelisk of Buenos Aires, talked to some people in the restaurants, in cafes etc, ate meat and pizza (what a surprise!).
Then, on the third day, I moved to a green centre - located near Plaza Italia. Zoo, botanical garden, Japanese garden, bank of La Plata river (to get there I passed illegally 7 lanes street and a rail track), where lot's of people were fishing, than I moved to Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Viajo - very nice and rich district, lot's of cafes, pubs, shops and people. Made some pictures and came back to San Telmo.
I must admit I'm impressed by the public transport here - it works great, you can easily get to every place here for more or less 0,30 USD without any problems, fast and safe. Also the streets are very wide (somebody told me they are the widest worldwide - 7 lanes is pretty common in the city centre).
Last day (Sunday) I spent visiting a famous San Telmo market, watching tango shows and walking on the park and the Boca district. Enjoyed it very much!
So, I left Buenos Aires and have reached Puerto Iguazu (if it's Tuesday after 1 p.m. European time), where I'm going to see my aim number 1 in South America - Iguazu falls, from both sides: Brazilian and Argentinian.
Can't wait. Will keep you informed.
Saludos,
me.
p.s. I promised myself that I would make one "parilla libre" evening, which meant I would pay a certain amount of money and could eat as much as possible (much, I can assure you, I need to care about ROI all the time:))...I did it...ololo!!!! every little part of pig and cow was in my stomach...ololololo!!!!
p.s.2. Do you know you must not drink beer in public places in Argentina?
p.s.3. They have really good empanadas here, so far the best! Only bolivian Saltenas can compete...
p.s.4. I have added some pictures to Picassa album.
