I'm going to Argentina!

I bought my ticket last night. $250 dollars for a roundtrip ticket? Yes, we obviously live in the wrong country. Moving to South America as soon as education is completed. 

I was creating all sorts of plans in my head to go to Peru and/or Uruguay as well but those tickets are about 4 times more expensive and anyway, Argentina has always been the bigger dream. Although since I'll be staying in Buenos Aires, which is right near the Uruguayan border, I'll be able to take way cheaper bus rides to Montevideo and Punta del Este anyway. 

Oh man, still having trouble believing that this is my life. 

I don't know WHAT I was thinking not buying a South American guide book back home, but last night I downloaded an Argentina travel guide and a guide about 5 day trips you can take from Buenos Aires and now I'm reading up like mad. Arge-FREAKING-tina. Holy moly. 

Places that I will definitely be going to in the next two weeks:
  • Buenos Aires
  • Montevideo
  • Iguazu Falls (yeah, that's right. who needs Niagara?)
  • Tigre River
  • SO MANY OTHER PLACES
And I kind of want to attend a football match but I've heard it can get somewhat dangerous in Argentina because of how passionate they are. Still, that's one of the biggest reasons I came to South America (the passion, not the football) so why not risk it?

I'm not bringing my laptop since I'll be staying in hostels and I want to minimize the opportunity of possessions near and dear to my heart getting stolen. Still, I will occasionally be popping into internet cafés to check messages so write to me about what kinds of presents you want! And do not write steak. Or men. You know who you are.

hi! i'm from argentina^^
buenos aires is not as near to uruguay as entre rios, you should go there, it's very beautiful, mostly in february when you got the chance to see the Gualeguaychú parade ... most of the 'comparsas'-a group of dancing people with costumes and colorful carriages are constantly influenced by the Sao Pablos' parades in brazil..
well i'm talking nonsense anyway because it's autumm now and i don't think yo're gonna put even a toe in the river with this cold LOL
it's a good opportunity to go to the patagonia.. if you got the money, because it's reaaaaally expensive out there... and don't forget people will try to play of you cuz you're a tourist... be careful..
if you need help or recommendations when you're in Buenos Aires, let me a message in my blog

ps: it really doesn't worth the while to go to the 'cancha' -the football field- it's just a bunch of monkeys shouting for a guy running a ball, beyond the danger of the 'patotas'..

well... i think that's all..
oh! and go the Bellas Artes Museum and the MALBA (Latin Arts Museum of Buenos Aires), -Malba it's more commercial, but still being good...

Good Luck!
