I could get used to this


Last night we went out around 1:30am to the other hostel for some drinks and then went out to Crobar it was “eh so so.” Very clubby and pretentious not really my style, so we only, haha “only”stayed there till about 4:30am then took a cab back.

On thing I was told many times to be aware of while in Buenos Aires, during a money exchange to make sure you are not getting counterfeit bills back. I've heard from many people that when paying cabs, street vendors etc. they will take your real money and switch it with a fake one, then tell you they can't accept your money because its fake. Or if you have a large bill and need change they will also give you counterfeit money back. So that's one thing we are always looking out for and really trying to examine the bills we accept back.

Today we went to this beautiful area in the city called Palermo. We went to lunch where there was lots of shops, bars, beautiful/crazy spray paintings on the buildings and street vendors. We walked around una plaza where local artists sell their art, clothing, jewelry, just about anything.

We walked back through Palermo Soho which was pretty similar to Soho in New York City. The boutiques were beautiful and the apartments looked amazing from the outside. There was so much to do in this area, if I lived here I would definitely want to live here. Now I'm resting up tonight, futbol match tomorrow!
