Trip to Argentina- II

Buenos Aires...
1st impression I got was, am I in Europe, France or Italy? The city landscape is surrounded with colonial buildings from the Spanish, French and British colonization. Beautiful yet I can't shake off that feeling that hey I have been here before and am I really in South America? Beautiful architecture to gawk at as you roam through the streets. Plus you get to see really antique cars down the roads, as apparently they do not have a expiry time period for cars to get scrapped there, as long its working, you can drive it around.

People...
- Expectations were to see stylishly dressed pple strutting their stuff down the streets in STILTOES, well have to say maybe the women in Argentina has recognised the comfort and sense of wearing comfortable shoes go a long way, hence its not such a huge phenomenom as before.
- Friendly and service oriented in the occassions we encountered. Maybe Singapore should have the tipping system after all
- Hablar no espanol? Thats a tough cookie, as not all pple speak English, one needs Espanol or alot of body language to get around. Si?
- And due to cruel colonization, it is said that many native indians of AR have been moved to the southern part of the cty where they slowly die of harsh cold winters, as a result the population of the dictators future generations, has Argentine pple looking more fair skinned than the darker skin toned as the rest of South America.
- Btw this cty has 37million population, and 12 million lives in Buenos Aires, cty's area stands at 2,776,890 sq km. Took me 3 hrs to fly from Buenos Aires to Iguazu falls which is up north of the cty, equivalent of me flying to Bangkok from Singapore. :P
