Muy Bien B.A!!!!!!
Oh helloooooo
now although its only been a week or two since I last wrote, well a fair bit has happened and I dunno how to condense it all without boring the arse off you. Theres been a country change, a week of boozing and steak eating and a lot of clubbing....
So I gets me to Lima, Peru, to catch a flight to Buenos Aires. Tried to think of ways of spending 12 hours in Lima before said flight and frankly if I could get the 12 hours back I would. Its a shoreside weirdy beardy place of fog, pollution and little to see. Got back the airport and watched all of the Argentines fight to be at the front of the boarding queue. Sit quietly and sensibly at the gate thinking
'Tsk, we all have our boarding passes, no need to fight'
and was last on the plane only to find people swarming up the aisle because as I looked at my ticket seat number 32H I noticed that the seat rows all only went to ... 26. Great. Lan airlines had 'swapped' the plane and hadnt thought to notify the crew. Anyway dunno who got off but all sorted in the end and just over a week ago I landed in Buenos Aires and dyou know what? Its effing great here!!!
Rinsing my money like you wouldnt know but I dont care!!! Tango in the streets, fantastic markets, great clothes, BIG FAT JUICY STEAKS FOR 3 QUID!!!! And oh! the clubbing clubbing clubbing. I have only seen BA in the day a couple of times but it looks lovely ;)
Tell a wee lie there, I have actually attended spanish lessons all last week and God, theres a lot of lauguage there isnt there? My mum was like
'oh but Spanish is easy isnt it? Like pharmacy is 'pharmacia'......'
hmmm sorry Ma, just adding 'O's' and 'A's' on the end of everything didnt work very well so thought Id better get a bit in. Staying in another terrible-on-the-kidneys hostel called Milhouse and have many a new amigo. For those who love the old dance music Im proud to brag that I went to Club 69 on Thursday, Ministry of Sound @ Pacha on Friday and Opera Bay last night... lost me camera (stolen) me switch card (misplaced) and me marbles (urrrm, maybe sometime ago).
Aside from the night life ive been to a tango show (cheesy but verrry impressive) had a tango lesson and eaten the best steak as big as my head in a place call Des Nivel two nights in a row cos im a greedy cow- luuuurvley!
Should mention all the lovely people (Jean, Ana, Jacinda, Phil, Joe, Ross, Ben) who are all as dismayed as me at the sleeps in and lack of sightseeing.....
Oh well, manyana....

Hi Lesley,
Very funny blog, it also gives some tips where to go out in BA, something I was looking for.
Cheers,
Wael
