Buenos Aires is without doubt the best city I have ever been to. It is European in style but everything is very cheap. There is so much to write about my two weeks here that I will split it into sections. 1. A typical 24 hours in Buenos Aires... Wake up at 4pm, take a shower and hang around drinking Quilmes (beer) until around 11pm. Then have brunchinner at a local restaurant. After this, head to a club around 3am (Get there before this and you will be on your own). Leave the club at 6am and get a taxi to the after club. Leave the after club at 11am and head back to the hostel for some shut-eye. 2. The Food... The food is absolutely delicious. Even in the most exclusive of restaurants, I have been eating three course meals with wine for about 7 pounds. 3. The Women... Wow, what can I say? If you appreciate good looking girls then Buenos Aires is your mecca. Close to 99.9% of the women are what I would call 'marriage material' They are simply stunning. The problem is that, unlike Brazil, the women here know they are hot so you have to put more groundwork in! 4. The Nightclubs The clubs in Buenos Aires are the best I have passed through. They are all well decorated and the dancefloor is full of some of the most attractive women I have ever seen. I went to clubs called - Museo, Maluco Beleza, Sunset and Opera Bay. 5. Football... Football is the lifeblood of any self respecting Argentinian. You can watch football while you wait for the tube and even when you are eating in restaurants. I saw a few men walking with their wives and kids who had portable radios wrapped around their ears! It is like they would die if they could not either listen to or watch football 24 hours a day. Boca Juniors are leading River Plate in the national league by 2 points with 4 games to play. 6. The Hand Of God... The locals love to remind me of '86 but when I question them on the recent 3-2 defeat to England they either ignore me, walk away or say 'no me acuerdo' which means 'I don't remember'! I had the pleasure of watching a Boca game that Maradona was attending. He only played 70 games for Boca but with 35 goals in that time he is regarded as a God by all the fans. The game I went to see was delayed because he was late arriving to his seat! My favourite phrase during the two weeks here was 'Maradona es un tramposo' which means 'Maradona is a cheater' 7. The Falklands War... I have decided not to bring this subject up with the locals yet as I get the impression that they are still a touch bitter. There is a permanant protest in Plaza de Mayo and the newspapers report that Kirchners' govenment are seeking political means to take back the islands. On all the maps here, the islands are marked as 'Islas Malvinas (ARG)' The people are in denial and surely the local OS are breaking some laws? 8. The districts of Buenos Aires... Microcentro...the city centre where I have been staying in a lively hostel called Milhouse. 24 hour party scene! La Boca...to the south of the city, La Boca is the poorest area of Buenos Aires but has colourful buildings and is home to Boca Juniors Football Club. I went to watch Boca against Arsenal Sarandi - Boca won 1-0 - (see my photos) San Telmo...Tango central, I didn't see much of this area but there is a tasty Parilla where I ate my first Argentine steak. Puerto Madero...my favourite district of the city is sited along the east coast of the city. This port area is lined with 5 star hotels, fancy restaurants and chilled out coffee bars. My local was a place called 'Asia de Cuba' (see my photos) Recoleta...to the north of the city centre, Ritzy Recoleta as it is known is home to the cemetary where Evita is buried. It also has some great parks, restaurants etc. I watched 'Hostel' at the cinema here (Tarantino needs to be locked up). There is also a super cool sports bar called 'locos para el futbol'which contains big screens and tasty waitresses for people who are crazy about football - and tasty waitresses! Palermo...this is further north than Recoleta and is also full of lush green parks and designer shops such as Cartier, Louis Vuitton etc. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara used to live in a flat here when he was my age. He studied medicine at the faculty of medicine which has its own tube station! Palermo also has the museum of belles artes which I went to. I saw a piece by Picasso here. San Isidro...this is right at the northern tip of Buenos Aires and is almost a city within its own right. We went here to meet some Argentinian friends who live in houses with swimming pools and servants. The city has an old section with cobbled streets and houses with the most breathtaking architecture. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara also used to live here when his father frequented the local yacht club. From here you can look down the River Plate to the city centre. Next up, the old smugglers port town of Colonia Del Sacramento in Uruguay.
