Hey folks !
Tomorrow I leave Argentina just for 3 weeks as I will come back. I make a quick detour to Brasil to visit Antoine and attend the Carnival...
So let´s say that I have not been impressed so far by Argentina. Yeah it is great, beautiful etc but my experiences have been a bit disappointing.
After a nice stop in Salta, I visited Cordoba (huge city !!) and Rosario, and finally Buenos Aires.
I have not done much in Cordoba and Rosario (mostly visiting) so no posts.
What we can notice is that I got robbed in Rosario by gunmen. The usual thing, I was walking by night in the city in a remote area and there were some guys... I am still wondering whether the gun was real or fake but I did not ask them... and gave them what I had...so a crazy 100pesos, ie 20euros ! I was not ready to get injured for that money !! And I got totally eaten by mosquitos. Lately it is very warm here and there were heavy rains. This combination made huge amount of mosquitos.
On the other hand I have been delighted by Buenos Aires. Such a great city !! I am happy to come back in couple weeks.
What to say about Argentina ?
- They are crazy about meat. Example: The Big Mac has not 2 but 3 steaks !
- They have a very strong accent. Hard to understand but the worst is that I dont get understood !!
- It is rather expensive. I mean it costs around the same as Belgium but after Bolivia it is a shock !
- Cities are beautiful. Lots of plazas and nice buildings.
- Girls are breathe-taking.
So for now I have a mix feeling but I am sure this will change when I am back.
I will visit Mendoza (main place for wines), Buenos Aires and host Benoit and Romaine, to visit Iguazu and most probably the North again.
