The Weekend of Little Sleep

On the weekends in Buenos Aires, this place is crazy...really crazy. The night of October 2nd we went to a pub called Shamrock, followed by a club called Niceto Club, which much to our suprise had a transvestite show that night, thus we polished our beers and headed home, the time 4AM. I guess you would think wow 4AM, thats really late. I need to explain the Argentine day for you, eat breakfast 9-11, lunch around 2pm and dinner around 10pm, then most people go to a pub or lounge for drinks and don´t go to the club until 2am, clubs here stay open until 7 or 8 in the morning. So by Argentine standards we wimped out, by my standards and my body´s standards, i was effin tired and needed some shuteye.

Yesterday (Friday, October 3rd), we started the day off in our coffee, tea and croissants routine in the heart of Buenos Aires Al Centro area, very cosmopolitan city, especially this area. After breakfast we headed out for Dylan to pick up a belt and then headed back to the hotel. Had a mid-afternoon nap, then went to work out in the local gym we found a few days prior. Our pet peeve was the stinky man who doesn´t know how to shower or change his stinky clothes, seriously you couldn´t work out in a 5 meter radius of this guy. He would work out in one area, and everyone would move to another area. Unfortunately he worked out at the same time as us on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

After stinky workout time, we headed back to our hotel and changed into our newly tailored and delivered suits and headed to a high end restaraunt on the water where we had giant pieces of some of the most tender steak ever, and rocked a bottle of Patagonian wine. From there we headed to a lounge with pool tables called Deep Blue, and after to a club called Crobar. Crobar was very crazy, we arrived there at 1:30am and it was empty, by 2:15am it was packed. Met some cool people from Brazil, and got back to the hotel around 7am...3 hours before checkout, haha...so had a 2 hour powernap. Packed up and went to the bus station to buy our bus tickets. Bus leaves for Puerto Iguazu today at 6:55pm, staying on the Argentinian side of the Iguazu Falls. Should be a quieter time there.

I have travelled in Latin America quite a bit and love it, but for those who are scared of going because of the news or stories they have heard, I would recommend Buenos Aires, they city is safer (seriously little crime and police on every corner) than Regina or Calgary, it has a ton to do and a very European vibe to it.
