Jardin Japones

After class I decided I wanted to go to a park and hang out. I headed down Avenida Libertador, and I made it to the Jardin Japones, in Palermo. I picked a tree in the shade and sat down to write. I loved that I was completely surrounded by trees, so I took pictures of everything around...

Just a few things I've noticed..

After a couple of weeks of school, there are a couple of things I have noticed that are pretty interesting. First of all, in the classes that I’m taking, everyone calls each other compañer@. This might clue you in to the kind of classes I’m taking, but I think it’s pretty cool. Today a girl...

Exploring new parts of the city

I tried to ignore the fact that I was just not getting used to walking around my neighborhood because of the obscene amount of people that looked like they were on a runway and/or had some sort of plastic surgery gone wrong. Also, I was seeing a lot of orange fake bakers (keep in mind it's...

Really? How old are you!?

A couple of my guy friends here have complained about how girls here, minas, are ice queens. It seems understandable if you think about how incredibly intense men are. For example, I like smiling at people I pass on the street, but I can't really do that. In fact, I really should not smile at...

MALBA

Today I finally visited the MALBA! MALBA stands for Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. It's definitely not the bigges museum I've ever been to, but it's got some really amazing pieces. My favorites were probably La gran tentacion and Manifestacion by Antonio Berni, Autorretrato...

Donde estan las monedas!?

I've held off long enough on this, so I think it's time to finally complain about the incredibly inconvenient coin situation here. For some reason, there are very few coins in circulation. People have very different theories about this phenomenon.. I've heard some say that the mafia stockpiles...

Hecho en BsAs

Today, while I was at the park, a man approached me and asked me for a minute of my time. He started telling me about this magazine he was selling for 3 pesos (less than a dollar), which was basically a way for the unemployed to make some kind of money. Apparently the place that prints these...

A musical weekend

My weekend was filled with wonderful music, and it all started with Sam and Greg playing for Kendall and I at the park. On Saturday night we went to have dinner at this place called La Pena del Colorado, which has delicious typical foods and awesome folk music. Here's a bad picture of the...

I am sick of this CRAP!

One thing I absolutel hate about this city is that, although it has pretty clean streets, the residents seem to have absolutely no decency when it comes to picking up after their pets. Something I see pretty much every single day is the pile of dog crap that has been stepped in, and the...

Argentines like their sweets

While my mom was here we kinda came to the realization that there are about as many confiterias, which sell sweets and desserts, maybe some sandwiches, as there are restaurants. Also, everything is obscenely sweet. I guess if I actually had a sweet tooth this wouldn't be a problem, but I don't....
