El Buen Orden in Buenos Aires
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 30 July 2009
San Telmo is the oldest barrio (neighborhood) in Buenos Aires, full of colonial brick buildings, tango halls, cafés, old churches, and a gritty, authentic feel that all reflect the area’s past as the most multicultural and bohemian neighborhood in the city. So it’s no wonder that you can find tons of small shops selling antiques [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Feria de Mataderos in Buenos Aires
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 11 July 2009
The Feria de Mataderos is the real deal. There are other basic Sunday markets in the Buenos Aires neighborhoods of Recoleta, La Boca, and San Telmo where you can get cool jewelry, handcrafts, paintings and caricatures, etc. But the Feria de Mataderos is a real experience and worth the 45-minute bus trip from the center. Colectivo [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Tired of Argentine food yet?
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 3 July 2009
I am. Have been since week 1. Whoever left Argentina out of the spice trade those few thousand years ago, bad move. But there's hope! Oooh and hope tastes like honey and flaky phyllo and nuts and spice.

el gripe, Macs, and an angry Jew.
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 2 July 2009
All over the city, people are scrunching their scarves up over their mouths and noses hoping to avoid the coughs and sighs and sneezes of strangers. Even school's out for swine flu. All the universities and schools have closed to stop the spread of H1N1. So the exam I have on tuesday? NOPE. NOT GUNNA HAPPEN. Sin embargo, I'm still waiting to find out if I'm going to have to do something else, like a write a paper or something to make up for it.

When there's nowhere else to turn...
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 24 June 2009
Ok I have something to admit. I'm not totally proud of it. But it needs to be said. My new favorite place in Buenos Aires is... uuuh I can barely bring myself to say it.

Escape from the city
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 23 June 2009
A post on how much I love Colonia, Uruguay is long overdue. I’ve been there three times now, and am looking forward to one last ferry ride over there in a few weeks. If you’re into quaint, sleepy, almost even deserted, but absolutely beautiful towns, Colonia del Sacramento is the place to be. It’s right across the river, and the barrio histórico, full of shops and so-so parilla and seafood restaurants is right on the water (some times if you squint real hard the water even looks blue).

Sundays in San Telmo
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 10 June 2009
I love Buenos Aires (BA). BA is one of those unique, terribly fascinating cities that one stumbles upon, falls in love with and keeps coming back to. It has a buzz that’s one-of-a-kind: I’m not sure how I would describe it; maybe that’s because the buzz has so many facets: it’s sensual, raunchy, hip, [...]

A lovely day
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 26 May 2009
Today was a lovely day. I woke up at a nice time, made delicious oatmeal with raisins and banana--the fact that instant oatmeal is sort of hard to come by in the shops here is a blessing, since now I am the master of perfect REAL oatmeal. Haymarket's steel-cut oatmeal bowl with fruit compote is still #1 though--went to yoga, went to the library, and ate a delicious sandwich of arugula, mushroom, sun dried tomatoes and queso blanco on pan de campo at one of my favorite spots in the whole city: Boutique del Libro.

That rock star feeling in the Lost World
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 22 May 2009
That rock star feeling in the Lost World (a page from my Travel Journal) The Iguazu Falls are located in the far northeastern corner of Argentina at the tip of a spit of Argentine territory that’s squashed between Brazil and Paraguay. It was interesting to see how the pilot navigated the plane to the Puerto Iguazu airport, [...]

Happy Birthday, Buddha (Vesak at the Fo Guang Shan temple in Belgrano)
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 18 May 2009
Made it this morning just as the ceremonies were starting... only to realize my camera was without its memory card. Good thing I live 2 blocks away from the Buddhist temple. So I flailed around the corner in my yellow high-tops and bra that was not meant for flailing. And then I flailed back. Phew.All the picture from the ceremony are here.

Interrupción
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 15 May 2009
The Subte folks went on strike this afternoon, just in time for all of BsAs's commute home. Lines for the collectivos stretched around corners and across streets; I've never seen anything like it! By some act of díos a completely empty 67 pulled up to the line I was in and I actually got a seat. The dude sitting next to me fell asleep on my shoulder and I didn't have the heart to wake him up until I had to get off. It looked like he had been having one of those days... and hey, haven't we all? I've had days when I wished there was a cute girl in a soft sweatshirt to fall asleep on too.

Recipes for memories: ceviche, hauncaína, tallerines con pollo
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 1 May 2009
I’m fairly certain that everyone who reads my blog already knows about my experiences in Peru (or at least that I’ve been there), but if there’s any other creepers reading who don’t, I’ll just start this post by saying that I LOVE Peru. So much so that I even tattooed my love for Peru on my foot.

Delicious things.
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 21 April 2009
Since I can't stream NPR in BsAs, my main way of staying connected to what's going on in the world is by reading the headlines on The New York Times: Global Edition web page. I set it as my homepage so even if I don't feel like making an effort to be a good, worldly citizen, at least some of the planet's goings on confront me every morning. Today, one of the featured columns was about recipes for healthy cooking.
