Buenos Aires II english
05/05/2006
my stay in Buenos Aires is coming to an end and my "real traveling" begins.
the four weeks past by so fast! i never got bored and of course you all want
to know what i did in the last 3 weeks. well, here are some highlights...
the nightlife, as already mentioned, starts very late. so when we went to
the disco at 2am, it was still very early. the name of the disco is "opera
bay", and as the name already reveals, it looks like the opera from sydney.
it's one of the biggest discos and has about 6 different dancefloors. when
we left at 6am we were definitely not the last once.
when you visit Buenos Aires you can certainly not miss a visit to "el
barrio" (district) San Telmo. there you find antiquities and on every corner
you hear tango musik. sundays they have a market and people are dancing on
the streets. there we also found a british-bar, were we finally found
something else to eat except of meat, pizza and empanadas. and we finally
had something spicey food...
imagine, i went to sea a ballet at the "teatro colon"! it was realy great!
and ofcourse i also went to a tango show at "cafe tortoni", one of the
oldest cofe-shops of buenos aires.
and ofcourse a visit to a "estancia" coulnd be missing for a tourist. and it
was really very touristy. a "estancia" is like a farm but all was just set
up for the tourists, so it wasn't that interesting! but the food and the
horse-show were really good!
at school we also had a wine degustation, with argentinien wines! muy bien!!
except the next day some students didn't show up! i did ofcourse!
where do meet the most locals, ofcourse at a privat party. good luck Carlo
know some, and they know aswell some...and that's how you get a invitation
to a "asado" (BBQ). meat, meat, meat!!! when i go back to switzerland, my
friends have to think about someting!!
and also my last day stays exciting in buenos aires. i lost/got stolen my
purse including credit cards. so i was running around all day but i still
will leave tomorrow. my journey will go on. i'll take the bus down south to
Patagonia, first stop Peninsula Valdez after 18 hours. then i will go
further down south to Ushuaia, more south is not possible...
