Everyone is out running, roller blading, playing football, having a picnic or a ton of other unusual things like tight rope walking. Truly amazing.

As in the USA exists the so called "Sweet sixteen" here the tradition is to throw a big party when girls turn fifteen. They rent a place specially for the party, invite hundreds of people, arrange a fancy catering, etc. And none of this partys would be complete without the birthday girl showing to all the people present the photos that she took pretending to be like a model or something. Puerto Madero is a very popular place to do this sessions and you could see this any day you go there.<br /><br />Hope this is useful for someone!<br /><br />HernánHernánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799473305005560204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-83931685900116562832011-02-13T10:40:31.601-08:002011-02-13T10:40:31.601-08:00I really love the message you send across through ...I really love the message you send across through your visuals on this blog.

Today this bookstore not only sells books but also music CDs. Books in many different languages can be found here. It is a huge store. There is a coffee bar located on what used to be the stage. From that viewpoint, one can see the whole bookstore. It is amazing. The theater's "boxes" are still that, but one can simply sit there and read for hours on end. If you visit Buenos Aires, this is a must do. Located on Avenida Santa Fe, it is quite easy to locate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-23929688991747904042010-11-17T12:32:12.672-08:002010-11-17T12:32:12.672-08:00This looks like a pasta shop to me, not a restaura...This looks like a pasta shop to me, not a restaurant. Given our Italian heritage, we eat a lot of pasta in Buenos Aires (I cannot say Argentina because in other provinces pasta is not consumed as much as in B.A). Pasta is particularly consumed on Sundays (when families gather for long lunches), and on every 29th of each month we eat Noquis (Gnocci). Pasta shops like this one, can be found in most neighborhoods. It is always fresh pasta by the way, made on premises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-26061221663746212792010-11-17T12:27:55.097-08:002010-11-17T12:27:55.097-08:00I was born and grew up in Buenos Aires.

Let me point out some important things about us: a) We've always had fruit/veggie stands everywhere in the city. b) Eating fruits and veggies has always been an important part of our diets. c) Even though for some reason people and the media think that we only eat meat we do not. Our country's bounty also provides us with great poultry and fish; thus this is part of our diet as well. Pasta, paella, etc. also enter the picture because of our ancestry. The same goes for German dishes, French dishes and the like. d) Our main protein dishes are always accompanied by a well assorted salad or a panache of veggies. Restaurants always have fruits and veggies in their menus (veggies for side dishes / fruit for dessert). e) It is not common for people to serve themselves at the fruit stand. The attendant does so, gladly! f) There is no display rack or anything like that underneath the fruit/veggies. This is done one by one just like building blocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-58484401723364328622010-11-12T16:21:15.782-08:002010-11-12T16:21:15.782-08:00hey happy new year and nice photo.hey happy new year and nice photo.Rajasthan Tourhttp://www.rajasthantoursoperator.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-77281846124786674982010-11-12T07:51:22.808-08:002010-11-12T07:51:22.808-08:00I can answer your question about "El Rechifle...I can answer your question about "El Rechifle": That´s right, it's a murga, and it's actually part of the mural that's underneath this one done by the murguistas themselves who practice in front of it, and which was painted over.

The fact that you can see old cars is because there are also many people who can't afford a new one. But there's no doubt that they would LOVE to have a brand new car...<br />Cars aren't designed nowadays to last forever. Those were the times of the old Chevrolet and the others, which materials were really resistant...<br />What is true is that in Argentina we are not used to buy things thinkin about throwing them away when a prittier item comes out.<br />No offense! I felt like I had to comment this :)<br /><br />And, talking about the "colectivos" -most of us call them "bondis", why is it striking that each line has its own design? =P Where are you from?
