Candy and I went to the park, where the "Tango" was going on. I gave it a try. I don´t know about the Tango, but the girl was nice!.. Today, we went to the "pink House which is the Argentine version of the "White House" but, we couldn´t go through it, because of a protest against the President was scheduled to take place.

I moved into a new apartment yesterday and love it. It's only about 8 blocks from where I was living before, but much bigger, a little quieter and closer to the really cool part of Palermo with great places to go out.

Hei hei! Da var vi endelig i Buenos Aires, hovedstaden i Argentina og en av verdens fineste byer! Kontrasten er stor fra Peru og Bolivia, det er som aa komme tilbake til sivilisasjonen igjen. En bedre og billigere sivilisasjon, med utrolig freshe caféer, restauranter, utesteder og butikker. Her er det Europeisk standard paa alt, bare til Sor-Amerikanske priser. Byen er ellers kjempestor (16 mill innbyggere hvis du tar med omraadene rundt) og har MASSE aa tilby av alt fra gallerier og museer til store parker og morsomme kjopesentre. Har spist sushi tre ganger bare den siste uken... Vi bodde noen dager paa et veldig koselig ungdomshostel i den veldig trendy og hippe bydelen Palermo og ventet paa at vaar venninne Hanna skulle komme inn fra Norge. Da hun kom fikk vi tak i en helt nyoppusset ... read more
