Ok, yesterday was spent at one of the most amazing places in the world, without a shred of doubt, but right now I have to blow of some steam. When crossing from Puerto Iguazu (the town near the falls on the Argentinian side) to Foz do Iguaçu (the Portuguese counterpart) they assume a lot of the people aren't staying more than over the day to see the brazilian side of the falls so they often don't get an entry stamp into brazil and unless you ask the bus driver ...

It feels a bit like I'm loosing speed here when it comes to exploration and partying. I arrived quite early to Buenos Aires after a marathon session on a bus, and had checked in and gotten breakfast by 11-12. After that, pretty much all I've done is go to La Boca, a neighborhood famous for two things: 1, being the tango district of BA, and 2, being a working class district (e.g. one of the more dangerous parts of BA).

This sounds like a recipe for motion sickness and a stiff neck, but the busses here are definitely the most comfortable I've seen. Sure, they are two-floor busses, which usually means horribly vomit-indu...

I think the picture describes my situation aptly and appropriately... Pretty much what I've been up to the last couple of days, hanging about, curing my jetlag, checking out some of the more famous places in Argentina like the massive Freudian-complex penis they have erected (every possible pun intended), the pink house instead if the white house (I knew Latin America would be a bit gay, but the house of governance being pink is just...) and the national museum o...
