Buenos Aires Travel Blogs

Background: Following independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentina's progress in democratic consolidation.

NO ONE MISSES THE GAME

Sat 13th After spending all morning trying our best to get over jet-lag, we made our way to the English meeting in B.A. Only about 50 publishers, with the speaker coming from Dallas, TX. We met a kiwi who was on the same flight as us too, how’s that? They have visitors from everywhere all the time. It was good to understand what’s going on and to participate. You really appreciate how hard it is for the local bro who does the WT in English but you can see would prefer to speak in Spanish, for us guys who are too [View Full Entry]

First Day of School

South America » Argentina » Buenos Aires » Buenos Aires

Oh boy…school starts today. And at such a reasonable hour. My first class is at 11:30. Kazuko does not have her class til 2PM today. Somebody turn off that stinking alarm clock and let me go back to sleep. Coughing still a all night problem. Lets see…learn everybody’s name and draw a picture of the world. I failed miserably on both counts. Geographie one is harder than I thought. I forgot Australia completely. I guess I better read up. And no one would play with me at recess. It has to get better. I am sitting in on Kazuko’s movie class. [View Full Entry]

My Jet

Que Tal? Hi Kids! I´m here in Buenos Aires. I haven´t done much except lots of walking and meeting people. This city is very interesting… I could probably say a lot but I´ll just stick to the key points. These are: what are people wearing, doing, graffiti-ing, and eating. Oh, flights were good - unremarkable. Saw Ironman on the plane and finally realized how hot Robert Downey Jr. is. Maybe I finally got past that scene in Less Than Zero… Eating: So far I´ve had a couple opportunities to eat Parrilla, the traditional Argentine bbq. It´s pretty good. My host, Dieg [View Full Entry]

Underground Adventures

Is this Monday already. Day three in country and still trying to overcome the cough, cold and jet lag. At least we could sleep in this morning. We don’t need to be anywhere til 2:30 this afternoon. I think I will go back to bed. Now it is time to check out our subway skills here in Buenos Aries. We have a pass for about 60 trips so that should last a few days. We can add money to the pass by just holding it up to the window at the station and giving them however much we want to add [View Full Entry]

Kampen skulle begynne kl. 16.20, og mens vi var og spiste (kl.14.15) var det allerede lange koer opp mot stadion. Det kom 2 minibusser til med folk som hadde kjopt arrangert tur og som skulle spise. Tilsammen var vi ca. 40 personer - inkludert [View Full Entry]

Iguazu

These past few weeks have been great, as always. I love my host family. I have spent a lot of time with them lately and it has been a blast. My host brother who lives in spain has been with us for the past month and just left. Last Friday was his birthday and my host sister's birthday (they're twins). We had a nice dinner at home and I met some more of the family. Some of their friends came over later and we all went out to a boliche called Dorsia. It was a blast. The next day was Nicole's [View Full Entry]
