A bit busy this week. I'll quickly run through this before I start getting busy again. Where was I. Oh yeah saving some of the best places for last. I left off on the day trip to Colonia. 1 thing interesting about the immigration between Argentina and Uruguay. The 2 immigration counter are actually side by side. The immigration officers from both countries actually sits next to each other at the same counter. The pass your passport to the next guy once it's done so U only have to go through customs once instead of twice. Once U disembark you are free to exit and not have to go through immigration again.
Now on to Buenos Aires. It's a nice modern city. Easily one of my favorite city so far. There are police everywhere. You can find them stationed at just about every junction in the city centre.
Here is the Pink house. The Argentinian Presidential Palace. Those who have watched Mcdonna's Evita should be familiar with this building
Next up is the Caminito in the La Boca district. Many of the older traditional houses for the poor are now converted into cafes with Tango performance.
The Boca Juniors stadium is nearby
Moving on to the rich pple's area, Puerto Madero
For those of you looking for good restaurants, this is the place to be. There are many rows of fine restaurant in this area. Had the best freaking steak ever at one of the restaurant here.
Heading to the city centre. The main shopping area is around here.
I spent about 4 days in Buenos Aires before catching the hour long flight to the Iguassu Falls. I crossed the border back into Brazil from the Falls. Anyone heading to South America, there are 2 things you definitely need to see. 1 is Manchu Picchu, the other one is the Iguassu Falls. This place is huge. It is at least 3 times the size of the Nigeria. It makes the Nigeria look pathetic
This is the start of the falls. The trail takes about 30-40 mins to complete.
End of the Falls
The Argentina side of the falls
I took the helicopter rider to around the falls. This 2 were taken on the helicopter. The picture really doesn't do the falls justice unless U view it from up in the skies
The back of the Falls
There isn't much else to do at the falls. Probably 3 days max. Last stop Rio de Janeiro. It's about an hour's flight from the Iguacu. I don't think the most famous landmark here needs any intro. Christ the Redeemer is way overrated actually, it looks good from afar but up close it's not very spectacular non is it as big as I thought
The other famous site, Sugar Loaf Mountain
And of course the place is famous for it's beaches. This is the famous Copacabana beach
Let's not forget Samba Dancing
Since there are a few queries on this I'll make a quick note. I'm not going to have a full report on this, not used talking about this as it is but I met an American guy in Buenos Aires who was working in Rio. Met him at breakfast every morning and we started talking. He showed me around Buenos Aires and when I headed to Rio, he played host. Here's the thing about South America. The women in South America are VERY OPEN even the women in Ang Moh countries like the US and Europe is nothing compared to those here. They are very friendly and very easy to hit that is if you speak Spanish/Portuguese. Lucky for me, my new best buddy speaks both. He brought me to a few places in Buenos Aires and Rio. The proportion of Chio Bu to average looking girls in those places is unbelievable. The only way you're leaving those places alone is if you're really trying hard to. So that should answer the last question. Anyone heading that direction can PM me about those places if they are interested.
Final note on this. I would really want to head back there if I can afford it. There are a few places that I did not managed to see, Angel Falls, Salar De Uyuni, the glacial at the southern tip of the continent and of coz more Latino girls. I strongly recommend everyone to go there at least once in their life time. There is way more to see and do there than places like the US and Europe
