Love at first sight......Tango in the streets, great food, party till dawn, free museums, what is not too love. The people are stunning and the city is always buzzing, and the best part is that you get all that european feel and romance for half the price. Normally I am not a big shopper, but I am a sucker for a bargain and that is exactly what Buenos Aires is, a bargain for the value. Yes, I am not the first nor the last to say that it is a magical city and would love to live there if I could, jejejeje. Museo de Bells Artes en BA puts the one in Santiago to shame, and the amount of cafes and pizzierias give you the Italian affect plus the argtine castellano has a similiar rythmn to italian. Then you walk down the cobble stoned streets and past apartment buildings and I feel like I am in Madrid all over again. France has also kissed BA with various structures and influences, overall it is a great mix of europe meets latin america.
On another note, FYI to obtain a paraguayan passport in Argentina you cannot pay with credit card nor argentinian pesos nor the garani (local currency) you must pay in cash with US dollars. Just a friendly tip, it was quite strange to have to go to a money exchange and change my argintine pesos to US dollars, not to mention that my bank charges me a foreign exchange fee to extract foreign currency only to change it back to US dollars!
I also fall in love with Buenos Aires!
ReplyDeleteI learned how to dance Tango and like "mate" very much.
I found a great apartment rental Buenos Aires which was close to everywhere in the city!
