We visited a neighbourhood called Palermo on Tuesday morning with our Italian-Swiss housemate. (who's also pretty cute haha) C'est un quartier avec des restaurants et magasins qui ressemble à la rue St-Denis mais hispanophone. On a ensuite sorti avec les autres étudiants de la famille pour feter le départ de l'Italien Suisse. On habite présentement avec une Brazilienne (Julia.. ou Juliana. Je ne suis pas certaine), une anglaise-sudafricaine (Daisy), un allemand suisse (Davide), un autre Brazilien (Gabriel). Et une canadienne russe et une canadienne francaise! :) [View Full Entry]

We are taking it easy this week as we are still tired from last week. We're also running out of things to visit. We spent Monday morning on the bus to return to Buenos Aires. We got up at 6:30am to make sure we get on time to school. Buses are really comfortable in Argentina with seats that can almost become beds. We forgot to take pictures but we should have plenty of time in our next 4-5 trips of 10 hour long. [View Full Entry]

Enfin la plage!!! :) Tout le monde nous trouvait folles de passer 12 heures en autobus juste pour aller à la plage (5-6 heures aller et retour) mais ca l'a fallu la peine. Sauf peut-etre pour les coups de soleil qui ont été douloureux pour quelques jours.... We went to the beach for half of the day. It was really nice to fall asleep under the heat of the sun, but we were constantly avoken by the saleemes of any kind, selling swimsuits, mate, sunglasses, gold chains, some kind of a wistle that is supposed to be like a bird but [View Full Entry]

Day 7  South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Tigre
Balade dans le quartier la boca. On est allé avec un étudiant suisse-francais de la classe d'Elena. On était bien contente qu'il soit avec nous parce que c'est un quartier ou il faut seulement rester dans la partie touristique. C'est un quartier qui est devenu hyper touristique grâce aux facades colorées des maisons. C'est aussi un quartier pauvre de Buenos Aires, d'ou l'importance de rester dans la zone touristique. Initially we were planning to visit the modern museum but on location found out that it was under renovation, so instead we followed south passing Russian Orthodox church [View Full Entry]

Puerto Madero

Visite de la ville "Tigre" (ville située a 28 km de Buenos Aires) avec Davide et Elena. Au début du 20e sigle, "El Tigre" était le lieu choisi par les riches pour leur maison de vacance. C'est maintenant une ville touristique ou on peut se promener en catamaran dans ses nombreuses rivières. Durant la journée, on a fait une promenade en bateau sur le delta du rio de la Plata. Then we went to the “Puerto de Frutos” (fruit port) in the afternoon, which is now a crafts fair located in the old fruit market by the riverside. The trip to [View Full Entry]

Olga woke us up at 8.15 as usual for breakfast. We told her that we prefer to sleep a little longer and have no breakfast. So she came back and woke us up again in 1 hour, so we had no choice but to get out of the apartment. We had lunch with some classmates at Cafe Tortoni. It's one of the oldest Cafés in Buenos Aires. Info sur le Café: Dans la bodega (cave) du café a fonctionné La Peña (en français La Peine), inaugurée en mai 1926, qui encouragea et protégea les arts et les lettres jusqu'à sa disparition, [View Full Entry]

On a commencé notre journée en visitant le jardin japonais de Buenos Aires. (D'ou les personages japonais en carton!). Elena almost got attacked by a bird while she was trying to take a picture. I have no idea what kind of bird it was but at one point it started to make really weird sounds and moving its beak quickly. (still while moving towards Elena) I doubt she's going to take any more pictures of birds. Does anyone know what kind of bird it is? (see picture) Apres les cours on a pris le mauvais chemin et on a visité la [View Full Entry]

The original plan was to go to the Jardin Japones, but since it was rianing a little in the morning, we decided to stop by the bus station and check out where we should buy tickets. This is the sketchiest part we have visited so far - so we kept watching our backpacks and making sure no one was following us. Going with the flow we ended up in Recoleta, one of the rich areas of BsAs and it's famous Recoleta Cemetary. It was a very strange experience for me: the most beautiful masoleums made out of marble, with delicate white [View Full Entry]

First day of classes! On a finalement commencé nos cours. Nos cours se donnent l'après-midi de 2h a 6h et on dirait que l'école a été envahi de Brésiliens. Après avoir fait le test de placement le matin on a quitté l'école pour se promener a pied au centre ville. On suis en train d'attendre le souper (C'est à 21h30) et on est en train de mourir de faim. Il va falloir s'habituer bientot a manger aussi tard... For the first day at school we had to be there quite early. And since Davide kinda explained to us how to get [View Full Entry]

Lunch
Argentina
Galerias Pacifico

Enfin arrivées à Buenos Aires!!! Apres environ 22 heures à cause du retard de mon vol New-York - Buenos Aires La femme qui nous accueille est bien gentille et nous a servi un repas spécial pour notre arrivée. On a lui avait aussi apporté une bouteille de sirop d'erable mais on a eu beaucoup de difficulté à expliquer à une Argentine qu'est-ce c'est en espagnol! We then went out with our two new roommates (one from Switzerland and the other one from Italy). They don't speak any English (but we're assuming they were pretending so) so I acted as Elena's translator [View Full Entry]
