Buenos Aires: 25-26 Jan
Buenos Aires is great! I may not come back!
The cousin of the guy who runs the hostel that I pre-booked, fetched me from the airport. No hassles there, or to change some dollars to pesos. Met some really cool people in the hostel.
Argentinians are very friendly and strangers will just jump in to help when trying to buy a subway or something, then point out explicitly where you have to get off, and what todo next.
CAPTION 1: My spot (lowest bed) in the hostel with 8 other people in the room.
When I don´t have a bus to catch in 90 minutes, I´ll fill in the the meaty details HERE of what I did yesterday.
Anyway, since I couldn´t get a flight to the south before next Thursday (1 Feb), I´m going to the Igazu water-falls inland in the jungle where Argentina meets Brazil, meets Paraguay. Going with Astrid, the first person I met here, who studied Chen Eng at Stellenbosch last year, from Holland. Leaving tonight on the bus for 16 hours!
27 Jan - Bus to Igzu
28 Jan - Igazu, Argentina
29 Jan - Igazu, Brazil
30 Jan - Bus to Buenos Aires
31 Jan - Buenos Aires
1 Feb - Fly to Ushuia at the end of the world!

Sounds claasic bru. I hear those falls are awesome. You barely touched ground in South America and you are already spending 16 hours with a Dutch chic on a bus ... respekt bru, respekt!! Anywho, have a great trip and we miss you here in your x-office.

{launch SB voice} Unlike Cloaca D, I have no respect for you...but...your trip is still totally awsome. Of course, not as awsome as I would have made it (motorboated, like, say, much faster down the waterfall, and not some sissy rapids).{stop SB voice}
(Dirk, he said his bus trip was NOT tiring :), so Dutch chick 0. However, his school trips WERE tiring. Resmate 1?)
Cheers
