Real Pearl Earings How Much

And again around a week ...

... and what can I say: I like it still! And I have learned something new:

I am now for just over a week actively public traffic. I know I have mentioned the way in which the Argentines here and there, but even then it do so is something veeery different. And actually - It works! I live! And it's fun! So the driving ... life course. How (or if!) Is here attending a driving school, I totally incomprehensible. I can not imagine not easy. It Gobeil as two possibilities:
  • Option 1: You learn it that way.
    That would mean the instructor is made to you in the car and says, "Joa driving, go here," without even having spoken only once on Rules. You must stop driving cautiously to the other eight and have good reactions. What a laudable endeavor! But once you think about how would collapse in "good old Germany" the entire transport system, when all Would go as they pleased, and accidents are avoided only by listening to themselves. unthinkable in Germany! I must go now, so I'm going! * Boing * But here, here it works! Unbelievable but true ... And I've never been honked evil or even looked at, if I am someone pulled in front of the cart. The only way we proceed here, and everyone knows it

  • Option 2: You learn it "right"
    so with rules and stuff ... during the driving school is always the last one in all lines of cars, always forever stand at the crossroads, waiting for that which is left of one, so now should be waiting for you ... Hmm, maybe. But at the time the license transfer, it behaves like the "Blitzdingsen" in the film "Men in Black". The RAM is now completely erased all the rules away, and the driver looks in disbelief at his novice license and think ... "Geil ...! Vamos!"
Anyway, I go and it's gorgeous! How should I switch to Germany again but mentally, I still completely obscure. So please contact me honks not when I cut you. I do not know any better ... ;-)

Joa, what was that again?
Saturday was finally typical winter weather in Buenos Aires: 12 ° drizzle. As committed to the German but once at home. A good day for the movies then. I I Terminator 4: La Salvación watched! Who thinks now that he had a déjà vu, which also has one, because I've actually already written last week. My colleague would also like to see the movie, and I also like it to me considered a second time to completely get behind this profound epic. But what I have noticed the first time, was now even clearer
The Argentines do not think much of FSK and ratings. And so it was the world's most normal children with growth of these cuddly movie. But the trailer before the movie for various horror movie I have been shocked. And there 5-year-old sat in the rows and stared at happy the canvas of the occasionally quängelnden babies never mind. Ok, children understand the movie anyway. So not just purely from the action here, but stop at all. I had mentioned that the films are in original audio with English subtitles. Now the children can not read English, and they can also not yet guaranteed. So what do these? Nannies are so expensive? Germinates in me a business idea ...

Perhaps the Argentine parents keep these kind of movies but also simply for educational value to the breed to prepare for the tough life in a big city. When I think of the road, I feel the sudden resurgence perfectly logical ...

Sunday we have once again taken a stroll around town, this time again in San Telmo, where I was the last time late in the evening. Sunday is the day hell broke loose here! The famous antique market in San Telmo attracts thousands of tourists and locals in some of the decaying roads, there are all sorts of trash, junk and trash, but also very beautiful old things. There are performers, for example, a tango-dancing puppet play, or simply on the street tango. These vendors sell empanadas and all Cortado. Very nice! are photos of them as always here! Muchos saludos

until the days! :-)
PS: I'm really looking forward to going home ...!

Sd Magic Gate Controlador

Viva Colonia!

would like to ... I said last Monday, but unfortunately the ferry for the return trip is already completely booked out. Colo nia? Ferry? Who me crazy now deems should look times on a detailed map of the area of Buenos Aires ... But from the beginning: I have to force me, at least every weekend to write the experiences of the last week here, it happens that is so much that I might otherwise forget. In addition, the posts are then too long. So think again ...:

On last Sunday the 7th June, I've probably seen the loudest movie in the cinema that has ever threatened my ear: ación La Salv : Terminator!
What can I say? FAT! He had it all: love, poetry and lots of banging . Here you look the way usually movies with original sound and English subtitles. This is t oll, we can still learn at the movies. Can we really give it as a learning material in the tax ...? No sé.

Well, happened during the week in the evening not much to go out eating. Friday morning, have We accidentally discovered a nice bar in walking distance and used for a Cortado. This is the favorite drink of coffee Porteños how the native inhabitants of Buenos Aires read: An espresso with milk. Yummie. Since then we have the same done to explore this bar once in the evening. And so it proved on Saturday. One or the other Tequila Sunrise and red wine were on the table and suddenly ... -PENG - was the Bude rappeldickevoll! We have not noticed how the music hour after hour to 20dB louder. All at once rocked the whole bar and it was a lot of dancing. Was beautiful, you can do it! :-) The thumb in the picture is our Camarero Marcello (Waiter), which we has now adopted for the evening. If you look closely, football scarves seen on the wall, including FC Schalke and Bayern Munich. I think if I bring a Hannover96 scarf, I have the red flat rate for life. Here we'll come back ...

Sunday 14 June 2009.

Buenos Aires is counteract experience of several opinions not at sea, but on Río de la Plata , the 290 km long and up to 220 km wide estuary of the great South American streams Paraná and Uruguay. Just minutes away from us is Tigre, located directly on Del impressive this ta brown waters, lies precisely on the Río Luján, which flows there into the Río de la Plata. And this is where you can make great boat trip through the many branches of the huge body of water. Map: Here!
Yes, the water is really brown ... and 2.5 hours were perhaps a bit long, but it was also very nice. Many small houses with small investors, including magnificent facilities and simple shacks, everything. A b time to time there is an old, rotting ship at edge. The picture does to the cars in the city ...
Whether this gem a poster advertising for real estate is well placed? Marketing is everything! In
Web Album are some more great photos from the tour, and also the evening when we were in P alermo Hollywood (yes, the district is really so and is next to Palermo Soho) shopping a bit.

On Monday we were free, because earlier in the week was a holiday. The Argentines are in fact smart enough not to put all date-based holidays on the following Monday, so you will always have a long weekend de. Not a bad idea, right? We wanted this day off from the shops in Buenos Aires have certainly times out and use were planning a trip to Colonia . Colonia del Sacramento is a v erschlafenes town in Uruguay, on the other side of the Río de la Plata, to achieve high-speed ferry in an hour. Unfortunately, so many Argentines were probably went to Uruguay, that the return trips to BsAs was completely gone. The alternative was a typical tourist-bus tour through the city to here and there, to be where it Hoen sc seems to get off time and a bit to explore the area.
how we got into Recoleta
on already well-known artist market from , then again in the Micro Center in the Plaza de Mayo, and finally in La Boca , the "Linden" from BsAs with its brightly painted facades . Here, in the football club of the Boca Juniors "has become a star Diego Maradona is revered and still divine.
between the stations we have seen a lot of monuments, statues and monuments, and we ducked just in time before the low-hanging tree branches .
On the return trip from La Boca were perhaps 5 ° above the open top bus, but we have to endure the cold smile - but perhaps that was simply frozen just the face.

much from me first. I wish all in the northern hemisphere a great summer! Muchos saludos y abrazos
