Welcome to BUENOS AIRES!!

Bin a long time
shouldn`a left you
without a dope blog
to read thru.

There will be lots more pictures and entries from the rest of my time in Canada (LOTS more) but first a brief update is needed. Ulala and i flew down to Buenos Aires on Thursday night and arrived Friday around mid-afternoon and got settled into our new place sin problemo (without problem). BA has been interesting so far. The city itself is terribly dirty but the people seem very friendly and i`m really looking forward to exploring the city and the culture more. Our place is in Palermo area, which is trendy and known for shopping. We`ve walked around our neighbourhood a bit and found the grocery stores (in which, to my delight, i found massive bottles of Heineken and Stella for roughloy a dollar Canadian!!) and pharmacies and an electronics shop. We also passed many fashion boutiques along Santa Fe avenue and judging by the window displays, i am going to really like it here in Summer (It`s Spring here now, for all my Northern Hemisphere amigos). Most importantly right next to our building is a fabulous wine and cheese shop, those being two things Argentines do exceptionally. There are shelves upon shelves stacked to the ceiling with bottles of red and white and then at the back there are stacks of HUGE cheese wheels. Wheels! Whole bigger-than-your-head wheels of cheese! The only real drawback to this is that when you enter or exit our building you can smell the cheese. It`s a little weird. And we`ve been checking out the selection on Argentine TV which has included a few episodes of Los Simpsons en Espanol (and since i know most of the episodes by heart i can use it to practice my Spanish!) and a ridiculous number of Denzel Washington movies. No joke! We haven`t watchjed any in their entirety yet but so far we have come across four of his movies in less than two days! Germans love David Hasslehoff and Argentines love Denzel Washington. On that odd note i have to post this without pictures since we do have internet but for some reason i can`t upload photos. I`ll figure it out tomorrow. =)
