Have had a wonderful week. Changed my hostel on saturday, as the one I stayed in was impossible to sleep in. A party place, not really my thing at the moment. Now I'm at a hostel located in an old building with high ceilings over five floors, including a very nice roof top terrace/bar. It has people in all ages from all over the world. Suites me a lot better.
When I had dinner on saturday a giant gay parade appeared out in the street. Took me by surprise as so many countries down here are still very conservative. But truly nice to see that some places are different! When I had lunch yesterday, a big union demonstration passed on the street outside. With all their drums impossible not to hear them. Paid in a hurry and ran after them to find out what they were demonstrating for. Was against the hopeless labour ministry.
I have had three tango classes, tango is incredibly difficult! But oh so elegant. Have learned the basics, though not feel quite secure dancing too much yet.
Have taken another spanish course this week, meaning I'm back to trying to get control over all the different times they use. Just as difficult as the tango.
Apart from that I've been wandering around in this amazing city. Spent sunday reading in the botanical garden with some delicious pastries. They have plenty of bakeries and delicious food here. A mixture of several european kitchens, both french, spanish and italian food are found everywhere. And wine, something I've missed in the other three countries. A good thing as well is that they fill up the glass completely. Plus that wine is usually cheaper than soda or water in restaurants. Back to sunday, I also visited some museums. The Evita museum was very nice. Just as the two art museums I went to. Saw a collection of Andy Warhol, new, experimental latin american art, old european paintings and so on. They had a lot! A surprise for me was that the National Museum of Art was free to visit.
Today I had an experience for life; skipped class to go sky diving. It was amazing! 10,000 feet straight down. The first 40 seconds' free fall was a sensation of another world. If you ever have the opportunity to try, seize it!
Tomorrow I'm going with a german girl, my room mate at the moment, to a tango show. Mandatory in this city, and hopefully a nice end to a great time in the South American capital before I take the boat to Uruguay on saturday.
