Chinito - Chinito Hernández Shen Zanetti

I enjoy, in general: Soccer, Spanish, Music, Shopping, Traveling 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!!!!!

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]

Tigre and the Delta area plus San Isidro

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Tigre

El barco

Finally with my studies all over and done it was time to travel for my remaining days here in South America…If you asked me now, I would tell you rite now im at a stage where I feel like this is my place and I actually feel like I live here and in a way im sort of really sad to be leaving very soon….i mean literally I know the streets of Buenos Aires inside out now..know the customs and at times even began using the slang here when getting around so travellin to other places didn’t seem that daunting anymore… [View Full Entry]

Final exams and Passing!!!

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Time to Party!!!

28/7/2008 Today I woke up a bit stressed because DADADAH!! We have our final exams today…I was just having breakfast and trying to do some last minute cramin which to be honest never really works for me and since im overseas the motivation so wasn’t there… I ended taking the test and in Spanish…boy! Was it a challenge, but at the same time I didn’t feel it was that bad or near mission impossible! After that I decided to quickly go home and sort of research and finish up with my oral presentation for tomorrow 29/7/2008 Finally, my final e [View Full Entry]

Colonia a full day of fun and adventure, with a quiet study session the day before!

South America » Uruguay » West » Colonia del Sacramento

Cruising in me el coche

26/7/2008 Today was pretty much a day where I had stayed at home and studied as we have our finals on Monday and an oral presentation on Tuesday! One of the highlights I guess was when I visited the markets down in Paseo Recoleta! I brought me some nice presents which I have been saving for…as for me there is still some space in my luggage! After that it wasn’t really a very interesting day, I guess just studied(at least tried in Buenos Aires) for most of the day…. 27/7/2008 Alright!!! I don’t normally begin my blogs with such energy but [View Full Entry]

Palermo Soho, Viejo and Hollywood!

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Plaza Serrano, where the party at!

24/7/08 After class today I decided to go to the bohemian side of town in Buenos Aires…Officially it has all the punk, alternative and in general its like a mix of Newtown, Venice Beach with some urban fashion in the nick…this area Palermo Soho just rocked….I brought so much cool clothing I was almost late in meeting a friend after for dinner, drinks and fun… When I finally finished shopping i skipped all the way to Palermo Hollywood, which is where all the groovy bars and restaurants are…in between is Palermo Viejo…which to some that up is [View Full Entry]

Nuñez to visit Estadio Monumental home of River Plate

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Outside the River Plate stadium

Today I wanted to wake up early but that never materalised after getting to sleep kind of late….But nevertheless I decided to walk to Retiro train Station which is kind of like Central Station!!! I was really excited because I was going to Nuñez which is north near border of the state to get to the River Plate stadium….better known as Estadio Monumental…after catching a train to Nuñez station I walked around the area and omg there was sooo many clubs, fields indoor fields and tennis courts….after finally walking around forever I finally arrived at the stadium&hel [View Full Entry]

Las Cañitas and Belgrano for Horse Racing, Polo and Stadium adventure

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Mi en el lago

21/7/2008 Today in Buenos Aires happened to be the worst day, weather wise, as soon as I woke up… it just started pouring non-stop…As you are overseas, you don’t just happen to have an umbrella lying around out of nowhere…! I don’t know why, but it must be due to being overseas as well…when it is raining cats and dogs outside, no one in the right mind would even think about going outside in general…Not only was I naive. I literally at the time had a foot the size of king kong probably stuck in my head as I decided to [View Full Entry]

Montevideo, topped with a visit to Estadio Centenario!!!

South America » Uruguay » District of Montevideo » Montevideo

At the Estadio Centenario

Today I woke up literally before dawn as we had to get to the port really early in the morning to get to Montevideo! This time everything was smooth as we had arrived really early and got into a nice posh boat with its own duty free shop and stores inside whilst you’re travelling to Uruguay. When we finally arrived in Montevideo, for some reason being near the Cuidad Vieja, which is famous for its artistic side of things, Montevideo overall, I felt was much more peaceful, nicer and less daunting than Buenos Aires, even though they have a lot of [View Full Entry]

Dark Knight was great but we missed our boat to Colonia!

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

17/7/2008 After class today, I had decided to go downtown and do a bit of shopping, it was cool to find so many stuff like Billabong and Quiksilver brands which were from Oz here in BA….I said to myself I wuldnt get them only because it is kinda lame to be buying stuff you could get in Aus for more or less the same price. But, after seeing a pair of Havaianas, I decided it was too tempting not to get a pair for around 10 aud dollars. As I was still feeling kind of ill, so I decided not to [View Full Entry]
