• Buenos Aires is a very European capital and we felt that it was a great place to be in too
• Fab. - even though Eva Peron/Peron is still adored
• Classy town – big port
• The wide city boulevards are ten lanes wide in both directions – yes 20 in total
• Great Student life!
• Eating meat, notably the beef, is an incredible taste discovery – even Sabine enjoyed their BBQ’s – within her limitations!
• Football crazy
• Did not really discover why the economy is and remains so screwed up – but it is. Tax and other government corruption is perhaps the root cause – but this seems to be a rich country in every respect
• Even Harrods has closed down!
• Lots of clothes bargains to be had – totally different clothes from Vietnam of course – bad for the Credit Cards!
• The Tango – Graham still cannot dance it - the disappointment of the honeymoon. The male street dancers look very pimp’ish though
• The city of the dead, the Recolta cemetery obscures the Père Lachaise.
• Polluted city – especially buses who are the worst offenders – haven’t seen as much road side pollution even in Santiago (where the inhabitants are very aware of their pollution disaster/problem)
• Good cost destination (unlike the rest of SA?).
• Taxi s do not seem to have chock absorbers fitted – a BA cost economy?
• BA (as in that awful Airline has local offices) no sales staff or customer service persons – just a service desk in Mexico!
