Flash Boobs Party Cove

January 4, 2011
happily we got yesterday in Buenos Aires, but today, for about two hours longer we leave it to go farther south. I will not tell us very zalowaly it's so short here we are. This is not a captivating city. First of all, it is very dirty and the cars run like crazy, you have to have eyes on the head about this, especially with the not always are separate lights for pedestrians. You just have to use the opportunity to run to the streets, when it can.

After a tiring, especially because of its length, travel by plane, but we had enough strength to move last August after a little town. Today pokonalysmy even bigger stretch, so it hurt us a little leg. But now we are waiting 20 hours riding buses, so the "rest".

Today we went in the neighborhood called La Boca, famous for its colorful houses and a bit of artistic atmosphere. The area, however, primarily attracts hordes of tourists like us. But the few times we trailed broken Polish, and this mainly in connection with the word "Poland" on my shirt. By the way it turned out that Argentineans Poland is associated with the trash-metal band Kat and Lukasz Podolski, who plays in the German football team, but it does not bother to call him a Pole.

crazy about soccer here, moreover, can see everywhere. The most popular souvenirs is a different kind of football shirts and scarves. You can also do a picture with Maradona on the poster or in a plastic version. With difficulty oparlysmy this temptation ...

The rest of the city is very diverse, many neglected homes here, or the strange structure, but also being taken at the beautiful houses in August with elaborate carvings on the doors and facades.

first day also proved to be a true test of my really poor knowledge of English. It turns out that even in the capital is hard to work it out in English, and express my attempt to learn English in recent weeks, very useful to us in August. So if somehow we get along, whether we were able to buy tickets for these long distance buses, which zaplanowalysmy.

buses here are main means of transportation between cities. Hence, a great range of hauliers, and thus unprecedented in Europe's comfort. On long routes can ransom of FMO, and almost Anchorages accumbens. For this there is full support inclusive with meals. Unfortunately

of Anchorages were already quite redeemed, so zadowolilysmy August pollezacymi. We hope it is enough for us to get enough sleep and somehow senses they spend long hours in buses. A wiec: vamos!

We have arrived in Buenos Aires just yesterday, after a long flight, and will be leaving the city in just about 2 hours. Not that we cry much over that: Buenos Aires is not the most charming city we have seen in our travels.

What hit us most (almost literally) is the traffic here. The cars go almost as they please (fortunately respecting the red light but not necessarily other drivers or pedestrians), many crossings lack traffic lights so one must really be extra careful and cross at first opportunity. The city, as many in latin America (certainly in Brazil as we remember it) is dirty and the building mostly ugly and in some state of ruin. But once in a while you see a jewel: a beautiful bulding with stunning ornaments on its walls and gates.

Then there is La Boca. We walked it today: the most colorful district of the city, with a somewhat bohemian atmosphere. Colorful buildings, colorul murals and even colorful tango dancers posing for pictures. And of course Maradona rulling the streets painted on the walls or in plastic form to hug for a picture.

Those first hours in Argentina showed also that Argentinians do not speak English. None of the normal people we had to deal with did. This proved especially a problem when we tried to buy tickets for our following bus trips. None of the vendors could speak even basic English and were it not for Agnieszka we would be spending the rest of the 7 weeks in the capital. She, after just about a month of studing English, managed to get all the required information and buy us tickets for three trips, for the right dates and times, the required comfort class etc. I was just amazed!

A word on bus trips ahead of us. Bus is the main means of transport here, especially considering very long distances between the cities. This is the reason for, unknown in Europe, comfort offered by multiple carriers. You can get a wide, reclining seat (up to a point of making a fully flat bad), meals and steward service. We are staring our 20 hours bus journey soon so we will let you know how it went.
