Sun bathing
by Maggies
Looks like Portenos (BsAs inhabitants) love spending time in the parks, unless they are discussing important political matter or reading in one of many cafes.
Anyway, you can see many locals doing sports, walking or just lying down and taking sun in the parks.
Tigre, one hour escape from Buenos Aires
by jumpingnorman
I heard about this popular delta region which can be reached in one hour when heading north from Buenos Aires. I took the taxi and I don’t know how much I paid ($50?), but I knew it was not much. It is a popular weekend getaway for portenos.
When I got there, there were nice little shops and the water was “inviting” me to ride a boat to explore the delta. Boat companies are very easy to find to schedule 1 to 3 hour rides, depending whether you want to include a meal on one of the delta restaurants by the water. Of course, I was hungry and chose the meal and was not disappointed later. The salmon was good!
The Delta del Parana ‘s waters stream in from the inland jungles of Argentina. The boat passed lots of colonial mansions and beautiful houses along the riverbank.
If you don’t want to take the taxi to tigre, take the Tren de la Costa route instead to enjoy a more scenic ride. There is a stop at San Isidro which is a pleasant suburb with an outdoor shopping center.
Music Matters
by leok about Musimundo
It's the Virgin Megastore/HMV/fnac of Argentina - the stores stock books, dvds, fairly cheap electronic equipment (including some very cheap unknown brand portable cd players), concert tickets and lots and lots of cds.
If you want a chance to browse and sample some of the latest S American groups head over to their flagship store on Avenida Santa Fe where there are several listen pods set up - or you can take a cd to the desk and ask the assistant to play it to you.
If you are carrying a bag and the security guard starts waving at you it's because you'll have to stick in in a locker which needs a 1 peso coin - you'll get it back afterwards.
The exchange rate means you can get some real bargains (I bought 28 cds here including lots of British bands as well as some Argentinian discoveries) so best take advantage of the opportunity while it lasts.
Irish Pub in BsAs
by Patriquito about The Kilkenny's Irish Pub
It's an Irish Pub just like Irish Pubs are like in all over the world. They have live music, you can eat and drink (irish) beer or cocktails. This one gets really crowded at the weekends after midnight. They charge 10 Peso for the entrance of males if you arrive late, but literally they don't, because the 10 Pesos are a voucher for drinks. You'll find people from every part of the world here since this place is mentioned in lots of guidebooks and brochures. But the locals also go there.
