Buenos has proved to be a very lively city, with lots to do and see.  It is very safe, and very beautiful.  The streets are very busy, filled with people at all times of the day and night.  You do need to watch out for dog poop though on the streets.  The Argentines love their d…

The only way is down! After the high of Antartica, there was only one way to go, and that was down.  We finished the trip in the town of Ushuaia, which apart from being the departing point for trips to the Antartic, there really is no reason to keep you there.  So as you can imagine, bei…

Architects from Spain, cobblestones from various European cities, monuments from England, baroque mansions, gauchos from the pampas, Indians from the Andes, all have contributed to the beauty and allure of this unique destination.

Once the bar exam was done, I ventured to Argentina and other parts unknown. My buddy Larry Motts flew in from L.A. and the real adventure began.

The perfect way to avoid the cold, rainy and short winter days of the Netherlands, is to fly to the summer. It only takes 14 hours of flight time (2 hours for AMS-MAD & 12 hours for MAD-EZE) to be in Buenos Aires. But if the captain would have turned back halfway, and flewn back to Madrid, I ma…

Arrived in Buenos Aires EZE airport.  Aerolineas Argentinas is shambolic. The Argentinians are resigned to this fact.  Upon landing they all erupt into a fit of raucous applause.  Im unsure whether this is to congratulate and thank the pilot or whether it was an expression of thankfu…

           For those of you are/have been a struggling college student, you understand the love affair one can have with cheap food such as ramen noodles. This is similar to my love affair with empanadas in Buenos Aires. Now, let me explain wha…

  What was I going to do?  I went to the club at around 1 AM--and it was closed.  I was told to come back at around 2 AM.  They were right, in LA, people think about coming home at that time.  In BA, the clubs are only getting started at 2 AM.  Walking back to my hote…

While going to school in Atlanta, the most frustrating aspect of everyday living was being hit up for money by the bums who prowl the streets. Not only was it annoying to have to lie straight to their faces, claiming I didn´t have any money, but what made it worse was the fear that these (generall…

I consider myself a somewhat well traveled individual, and while I haven’t seen the world, I have seen enough to know that I want more. The biggest problem I have with traveling is overcoming stereotypes. I’ve traveled with both South Africans and Americans, and while I thought that being brand…

I just took the 3hrs flight back to Buenos Aires. 2hrs later, I will take a night bus to another city Mendoza where it is a famous red winery. In Argentina, air flights is very cheap and compatible with the bus ticket sometimes. Coz of this, I decide to skip some cities in the south and move nort…
