1st of May in Buenos Aires....!!
Tag der Arbeit.... it's called DIA DEL TRABAJADOR aqui.... and it means lots of demonstrations and protests from the Partida Obrero, die Arbeiter-Partei Argentiniens, working-class party of Argentina, were taking place today....the Casa Rosada on Plaza Mayo was fenced away and lots of police security at the presidential palace and in the streets and big Avenidas around there.... and since I live right next to Plaza Congreso (in front of Palacio del Congreso) there was a lot of stuff going on there too.... many people and groups were meeting there to march towards the presidential palace....
but no worries - I'm okay, didn't get involved in any protests or demonstrations.... and nothing dangerous going on here, no attacks on the president or other scandals...
and 1st May also meant that it was a National holiday and I didn't have to work today... :)
went out dancing on SAT and last night.... and I'm getting used to the Argentine way of going out.... every here happens late...!!
You eat dinner about 11.00pm, then you go dancing at a club around 1.00am or 2.00am.... they are open till 7.00am on the weekend.... then you have breakfast - usually Cafe con Leche y Media Lunas (mini croissants) - and at 8.00am the SUBTE (the Subway en Buenos Aires) starts working again and you can get home quickly and easily.... :)
so it was a nice long weekend.... with little sleep, and I still feel pretty tired....
went to AZUCAR in Belgrano on SAT night and LA SUDACA (which is only 3 blocks from my house....!! How convenient..!!) on SUN night.... had a good time dancing, met some very nice people, but also unfortunately quite a few very arrogant Argentines..... oh well, hay de todo....normal....
but overall it was a good weekend.... and for sure, I know I won't get bored here.... ;)
aaahhh - and it's getting colder here now..... leaves falling of the trees too.... hhhmmm, strange feeling to experience fall in MAY....!! ;)
wenn es eigentlich bei uns in Europe endlich so langsam Sommer wird.... ;)
well, ya me voy a descansar y dormir por un rato..... besos y hasta pronto.....xx
