Aisku, eurpietiskas pyragas aplietas latina sirupu - Maradonos antrininkas, pardavinejantis desra ir suri is krepsio gatveje, tango avalynes ir drabuziu parduotuves, emocingai garsus praeiviu pokalbiai gatveje. Pirma diena prasivaiksciojau centro gatvemis, keistas jausmas - tarsi trumpam griztum i Europa - turtingu tevu vaikuciai protestuoja pries vargsu arkliuku engima, verslininkai garsiai itikineja mobilius telefonus, mcdonalde bei burger kinge buriuojasi storapilviu eiles. Sienos pamargintos politiniais lozungais, daugybe teatru, muzieju, knygu parduotuviu. Didziulis, kultura kvepuojantis miestas (savaitgali prie teatro zmones stojasi i milziniska eile), vieta, kuria geriausia aplankyti keliu savaiciu atostogu metu, kai pinigine plysta litais. Hostelis pasitaike smagus su terasa-baru ketvirtame aukste. Vakare hostelyje dirbantys vyrukai pasijunge gitaras, istrauke bugnus ir kale rokenrola iki paryciu. As po paros keliones autobuse biso nesulaukiau.
Buenos Aires reminds Europe a lot - convenient subway system, wide, clean streets, massive buildings, cosy cafes, african guys selling fake watches and gold on pavements, asian businessmen in a hurry, cute girls look spanish or italian. The main avenue by request of first city mayor was built like a boulevard in Paris. One argentinian guy who lived in Madrid for a while told me that both capitals are similar. I was in Madrid only for a few hours trying to get some sleep in a park so I can´t compare.
Of course Maradona´s twin selling sausages and cheese on the street or special tango shops won´t let you forget you are in South America. First day I took a walk in city centre. Walls are covered in political graffiti, rich parents´ kids protesting against animal cruelty, mcdonalds and burger king offering ´healthy´ food. Buenos Aires is very cultural city - many theatres, book shops. It´s a place to visit during few weeks holiday when your vallet is full of money. The hostel I stayed in had a rooftop bar. At night time the guys working in hostel took guitars and played rock n roll till early hours.
Argentinos sostineje pavasaris, sviecia saulute, praeiviai akis slepia po juodais stiklais. Sestadieni kojas pramankstinau siauriniuose miesto barrios (rajonai). Recoleta kaiminysteje karaliauja turtingi buratinai, iejimus i apartamentus saugo sveicoriai, kartais gali pasijausti kaip kokiam Manhetene. La Recoleta kapinese turtingi ir zymus, vargsams leidziama apsilankyti.
Aplink pilnu pajegumu veikia gatves turgus, kuris jau pradeda igristi. Palermo rajonas, ikurtas italu, plysta restoranais bei dizaneiriu parduotuvemis, aki traukia spalvoti namai, nes siaip centras labai jau angliskai pilkas. Pagrindiniam skvere eilinis gatves turgus, daugybe zmoniu, i rankas brukami meniu anglu kalba, nauja darba susirades Sabonis. Griztant atgal, gatves nuzaliuodavo vesiais parkais, sostines gyventojai neskubedami varte laikrascius kavinese, sunu vedziotojai prazygiuodavo su minimum penkiais ivairaus plauko ar dantu astrumo ketrukojais.
Uzsukes i Retiro rajona, i hosteli grizau Florida gatve. Net nezinojau, kad tokia superturistine gatve egzistuoja, gatves artistai, turu siulytojai, tango sokejai, etc. Spejau nugriebti eilines grupes pasirodyma, argentinieciai groja nerealiai, muzikos kokybe nusluostytu nosi daugeliui Lietuvos estrados zvaigzdziu. Vakare isejus pavalgyti picos (italu maistas emigrantu deka ne ka prastesnis nei Europoje) netyciomis pataikiau i saviveiklininku koncerta. Moteriske bufetavos sukuosena nuostabiu balsu liejo sirdi pirmoji. Ja pakeite atlikeja, kuri atrode kaip Malvina po nevykusios plastines operacijos, balso silpnuma atpirko israiskingomis mimikomis, nusmukusia liemenuko petnesele jau antro posmo metu ir jausmingais ranku mostais. Mikrofona pereme koncerto vedejas - diedukas elegantisku kostiumu, skambant tango ritmui galingai suokes apie gyvenima.
On Saturday I headed to northern barrios (neighborhoods). Recoleta is the place where rich people live, some apartments wouldn´t be out of place in Manhattan. La Recoleta cemetery is the place where rich and famous go to sleep forever.
There was a street market around the cemetery but I´m getting tired of all the markets, they are same everywhere. Palermo, barrio started by italians, had one on the main plaza as well. Loads of people, restaurants, designer boutiques over there and some colourfull house (city centre is very english grey).
On the way back I passed few nice parks, the guys who getting money for walking with minimum five different size dogs, very touristy Florida street where the band was playing fantastic music.
Sestadieni vakare ´padariau klaida´ - isejau pasitoosinti su airiais. Prasiejom per pora baru, o po to pakliuvom i vakareli, organizuojama vokiecio. Vienu zodziu, i futbolo rungtynes, kurios vyko sekmadienio popiete visi ejo nemiegoje haha. Varzybos tarp River Plate ir Colon buvo migdancios, bet komandu palaikymas labai triuksmingas ir smagus.
I ´made a mistake´ going out with irish guys on Saturday night. We went to few bars and were invited to house party organised by german guy. Next day football match between River Plate and Colon we watched in stadium without sleep the night before. It was fun.
Paskutine stotele Argentinoje - nedidelis miestukas Puerto Iguazu prie Brazilijos sienos. Labai turistinis, bet mielas, spalvotas, pakiures ir siltas. Pagaliau po pusantro menesio nereikia megztinio vakare, o diena tenka braukti prakaita nuo kaktos.
Last stop in Argentina - Puerto Iguazu, small touristy town close to brasilian border. After six weeks of cold finally I don`t need warm clothes in evening and it`s so nice.
Cia atsibeldziau aplankyti srauniausiu pasaulyje Iguazu kriokliu, estafete perims nuotraukos. Vienas svarbus dalykas - aplankius krioklius jautiesi kazkaip taip anaip dvasiskai svarus, pabandykit.
I came here to visit the Iguazu falls, the photos will tell the story. Just one thing - after visiting falls I feel so clean spiritually, you need to try it.
This song from Cuba was very popular in the hostel`s bar.
