55. The Flower
Do you feel apathetic towards Flower Power? Visit the giant flower just steps away from the massive Law Building to find out if perhaps you can feel something.
There is nothing better than to simply sit down in Plaza Mitre and gaze at
the aluminum masterpiece.
56. Go to a Seminar
From Paul Groussac to Jose Pablo Feinmann, the Argentines have had a long tradition of national, international, galactic, and metaphysical analysts. Whoever is interested, can put together a symposium or seminar according to their interests. Satisfaction guaranteed.
57. Chat with the Neighbors
Don't have enough time? Your utility bill has gone up? The damn doorman continually denies entrance to residents because he does not recognize them, particularly when they forget their keys? Conversation topics with the neighbors are and will always be the same. It's
just a question of putting yourself out there and meeting new people.
58. A movie in the Microcenter
Monday is the perfect day to catch a movie in the city's center because the tickets are half price. Go to the last showing and afterwards walk around Lavalle and Florida streets with your best tourist face.
59. Cure that Hangover
Sunday morning with a headache? There is nothing better than to take a bike
ride on the banks of the river with a friend. You can quickly scrape together
a picnic with hot dogs before heading home. Or, wait until it gets dark and
lay down on the grass outside of the Jorge Newberry Airport to watch the planes
fly over you as if you were in a scene from Wayne's World.
60. Drink Mate (Traditional Tea)
Important: Never add too much water such that all of the herb is completely
soaked. Not everyone knows how to make a good mate, regardless of what they
tell you.
61. Train Ride to the Soccer Stadium
Alone on a Sunday? If you are looking to be around people, go to the Retiro station and take a train that goes to the soccer stadiums for River Plate or for Monumental in Nunez.
62. Villa Tour
This bus tour takes groups of visitors to see one of the villas in all its
glory. Funds collected from the tours aid in building a children's cafeteria
and an art gallery. For more information
Tel: 4383 0717 Ext. 36
63. Send an Email
Every time you pass a Locutorio, you get the feeling that you have to send
an email (even if it's only spam). Why? The answer is simple: We like communication. Think about it. It's been years since we have had to write a personal letter by hand.
64. A Trip Through the Universities
A sociological exercise: Visit the universities and colleges to observe the characteristics of their inhabitants. Later, develop a hypothesis about it. Want to see unshaven dirty faces? Visit the Social Science University of Buenos Aires. Paintings and sculptures? The University of Palermo Law School. Grease under the fingernails? Argentine Institute of Motor Vehicles.
65. Go on a Blind Date
Chat rooms are partially responsible for this relatively new way of meeting someone. An ideal place to meet up and start the evening? The Obelisk.
66. The Neighborhood of Flores
During the day, buy some clothes and observe the customs of one of the oldest barrios en
Buenos Aires. At night, reserve a towncar or taxi in order to avoid the dangerous
areas.
67. The World of Peron
The area of Lobos offers the tourist a spiritual retreat starting from the
doors of Puerta de Hierro (Iron Door). Visit the General's house, then walk
the 15 kilometres that separates the city and the water to practice whichever
water sport comes to mind.
68. The Return of the Dog
The new wisdom says that every man should reserve time each day for his family AND his dog. Take the dog for a walk after dinner and, at the same time, hang out with a family member in whichever Plaza (town square) still has its lights on.
