People have been asking why I haven't written in my blog for a while. The truth is I feel totally unispired but so that you know I am still alive I decided to make a list of what I do and do not like about Buenos Aires, where I have been for the past week.

Things I like

- It has beautiful squares and buildings
- People are generally friendly unless you try to purchase a cheap item with a big bill, in which case they instantly become rude and almost invariably refuse to sell you said item unless you present them with change.
- I spotted quite a few good looking guys in the street
- There are a lot of dogs
- It has quite a lot of green
- It reminds me of Italy

Things I don't like

- Hostels are expensive
- It is virtually impossible to get any change (see above). This is true of all Argentina but it's particularly bad in Buenos Aires
- Dinner time is far too late (this is also true of all Argentina) and the food I haven't digested gives me nightmares at night.
- All bars and restaurants have the air conditioning full on, causing my nose to run and my bones to ache
- Most of the good looking guys I saw were in the company of equally good looking girls
- It reminds me of Italy

Excellent!!
Your little blog about my city is really amazing!!! I agree with you in most cases. B.A. reminds you of Italy, oh my god, what a synthesis (I don't know if the spelling of this word is ok?). In my trips to Italy I found the origin of most of our troubles and virtues. Mamma miaaaaa

Ciao
Me alegra que te haya gustado mi blog. No se si lo sabes pero yo soy tana y tengo un relación de amor y odio con mi país.
