A group of us decided to go to one of the biggest soccer games of the year (the number one team la boca vs the number three team). We got to the stadium in the morning and waited in line for 3 hours only to find out that they were not going to sell any tickets to the general public becuase it was such an important game, only members could get tickets. We luckilly found tickets from a scalper but it took all day and we had to crawl under security checkpoints 3 times just to get close to the stadium. The most intense chanting ever, 60,000 people all jumping up at the same time, the whole stadium shook and my ears heart from the decibles. there was piss everywhere and my buddie actuallly got pissed on by this little kid. 12 foot fences with barb wire seperated the home from the away fans, but you still couldn{t sit in front of the over hang if you did not want to get spit on. We got padded down 5 times on our way in, and police had fire hoses installed all over the stadium in case things got too crazy. luckily we won so the intense energy was at least positive on the way out. I also went to a latin dance club which was sweet, and otherwise Ive just been exploring the beautiful city and soaking in the culture.
