De nuevo en Argentina


It will be a challenge not to write any comparisons between Brasil and Argentina and step on any latinamerican toes, so dear argentino-brasileno friends, don't take it personal!

I recently asked Justus if there was anything he missed from Sweden. After some thinking he said "the people". I got silent (shocked) for a few seconds until he shouted NAAAH! A very funny joke.
Here however, I miss the brasilians a little bit. Now, comparing people from Buenos Aires to Argentineans in general is just as fair as comparing stockholmare with swedes (even if the mayority of the Stockholmare are born and raised in smaller towns, but that's another story). On our 3rd day in la capital federal we can say that there are very nice people here as well, but they are not all absolutely wonderful, as in Brasil.

The weather however is something we are much more happy about here. Clouds, rain and 10 degrees colder than Brasil makes it possible to be outside all day. Love it! 

We have again been super lucky with our home exchange and have a fantastic flat in Palermo Soho, possibly the best location in Buenos Aires. 4 blocks from the gym where I've signed up, amazing cafes, restaurants and shops everywhere. I really love this city.

Junia likes the "mot" in Argentina as well. Her father thinks that the beer is a bit big though. 

Rule: if Alma is asleep on your stomache - you stand up and eat.

In front of casa rosada (Argentina's equivalent to the white house, even if Kirchner only workes here) it started to pour down
