Reflecting on Buenos Aires is a little difficult. For the time I was in the city I kept trying to get out. On the weekends there were so many places I wanted to go. Throughout the week we kept doing so much with the group to see the city that I felt on my free time I should go see what else was …

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…

 Eva Peron.  This name both unites and divides Argentina.  She was loved and she was hated.  People either respected her or they criticized her.  Her story has inspired many in Argentine society today and her legacy will continue to live on no matter where one stands in reg…

So as I sit in this coffee shop, on the corner of two very European reminiscent streets, I have to ask myself: how do they do it? By 'they' I mean the Portenos of Buenos Aires, as they are so proudly called. I'm running on three hours of sleep (which brings my total for the week up to 14), too many…

Its so good to be back in Buenos Aires. After spending 6 months here last semester, it almost feels like a second home. After a 20 hour bus ride from the Triple Frontera, I finally arrived in Buenos Aires at 7 in the morning. I get to my house and of course everyone is sleeping, or at lea…

            Our final day in Buenos Aires did not really include anything extraordinary. Instead we predominantly spent the day doing Luqman’s favorite activity-shopping. If there’s one thing I know about my friend, it’s that come hell or hig…

     Growing up surrounded with a predominantly male extended family, I have always prided myself in being very knowledgeable about sports. There are some sports I know more about such as basketball and soccer and there are some sports that I do not know much about. One of these…

The last few days of my trip I just stayed around Buenos Aires, strolling round town. However I did treat myself to a leather jacket. I went to a factory outlet shop called Bettina Rizzi, 547 Paraguay Street (www.bettinarizzi.com. tel: 4313-5307), which produced a tailor made very soft leather jack…

JB Boonstra I went to the flamenco show that  I missed the first time some people went because I was in Montevideo. It was great! I don´t remember a time when I saw so much emotion put into dancing and playing instruments. Though tango may be more exclusively argentine, (and I like…

             Historically, supporters of a local soccer team only focused on their team winning.  As long as your team was winning, it did not matter how your rivalry was playing.  Also, if a local team from your country pla…

My trip with my friend Meagan to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Rio de Jenairo in October 2007

So good...

Well it was an ordeal getting here and it's turning out to be an ordeal leaving but I have to say we have absolutely loved spending time in Buenos Aries.The city is huge but the civic planning is a marvel with wide open roads (inc the world's largest - 16 lanes!!) and tons and tons of parks. It al…
