Chinito - Chinito Hernández Shen Zanetti

I enjoy, in general: Soccer, Spanish, Music, Shopping, Travelling and Chilling!

I've decided to join this through persuasion of one of my friends! Also, last year during my summer break from Uni, I had spent roughly two months away first in Shanghai, China. Then Los Angeles and Las Vegas, in the States. And Finally, traveling all around Mexico before and after, my volunteer program in which I was selected to participate (through the Uni) in Puebla, Mexico, for 4 weeks, working with Children at an orphanage. Because of this experience I feel ready now to embark on some more adventure!

25/6/08 to 5/08/08 I will be studying in Argentina and hopefully I will be traveling around the country and also, visiting Chile and Uruguay depending on the situation!
For now it is EXAM time!!!!!

3/12/08- Will be off first returning to Buenos Aires and then travelling around South America this time covering Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay....If we have time hopefully Ecuador as well!!!

3/12/2008 Ok so after months of trying to grind uni, study, work and catching up with my mates....Something great happened on top of the current financial crisis!!! We booked a promo with Qantas and a South America Airpass that allowed the group (four original from Mexico) and myself personally to return to Buenos Aires so soon!!! Man who would have guessed like always going from Australia to the Americas! It´s a bit like groundhog day!

Time to say goodbye!!! South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Viva Argentina, gracias por todos!

1/8/2008 Today I woke up realising that all good things have to come to an end. In my case I am talking about leaving South America! Yeah, it was a bit disappointing to not have travelled to my ideal destination Rosario, due to the fact that our landlord was coming around the usual “sometime” during the day sort of thing, as a result I couldn’t really leave the place, as my other housemates were in another country(Uruguay!!!). So I ended up spending the morning watching and catching up with all my football(soccer) gossip and friendly matches…BOY! Let me tel [View Full Entry]

La Plata, River Plate Stadium tour and a night of some exotic feast! South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » La Plata

River plate Stadium, how good is this!

Today waking up and trying to convince myself I needed to get up before dawn to get on a megabus…boy was it hard to do here in Buenos Aires, this place has a night life that literally starts when Sydney Sleeps hard into the night…so waking up early is near zero…But anyways, after making the mountainous effort I finally woke up and decided to walk to Retiro bus terminal and got me a megabus to La Plata!!! La Plata, is kind of like the Canberra of Argentina, even tho Buenos Aires is the Capital…but nevertheless La Plata is where all the [View Full Entry]
