Argentina has introduced today the requirement for all vehicles to have a 2 yearly check; the VTV.

I think this might be a fail…

BA VTV/ MOT fail

Spotted this apartment for sale to day, not sure how much but it seemed very peaceful and the neighbours are quite famous…

Buenos Aires Recoleta

The neighbours:

 

Buenos Aires Evita

 

Coming in by air; Buenos Aires is huge, huge and remote… or at least it seems remote after flying over what looked like farm land for a couple of hours before touchdown. Green would be another description, the area around the airport is very green, lots of pampas grass – of course.

There are some rather strange activities going on at traffic lights, walking out in front of the traffic with advertising hoardings seems a little odd at first; but I suppose we have the sandwich board men in the UK as well these days.

Entertaining the traffic with flaming ‘bolas’ we don’t have; well not yet; I may have a bit more time on my hands soon so I might set up stall at the Bearwood lights, I think it could be a winner.

Buenos Aires - Avenida 9 de Julio

Another bit of private enterprise going on seems to be rubbish sorting, there are quite large piles all over town with folk rummaging about in them; they seem to be looking for the cardboard, I didn’t expect to see this kind of thing…

They call Buenos Aires ‘The Paris of the South’, if you need a comparison I would have to say Barcelona would be a better match; but this is first impressions…
