What I Love About Buenos Aires

(1) The city itself

...I had to

(2)Music and Dance
Ubiquitous in the streets

Street tango in San Telmo neighbourhood

(3)Shopping.
Honestly, here is one of the best places to go to find anything you could possibly imagine. In particular, i absolutely love the San Telmo antique market on Sundays, where you can find anything from sunglasses to tobacco pipes, to a random assortment of glass bottles... i even saw Salvatore Ferragamo shoes for just $30! Pity they weren´t my size.

And of course there´s just good old, European (and local) brands, particlarly down Santa Fe

San Telmo market.. what a shame it rained

Aaaagh

(4)Architecture.. if there´s something i haven´t seen much since i left, it´s good design. Love the mix of modern and Spanish influences

(7)Football
Went to Canada vs. Argentina for the social game just before the World Cup. Went for some awesmoe beer and Choripan (chorizo and bread.. kind of like a south american hot dog). Argentina dominated, but nonetheless was still a very exciting match

...What happens when a Kiwi and an Irish sit together

Blood sausage.. yuk!
