GETTIN' BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

Buenos Aires would have not been half as fun if we had not met these guys. Its not so much about where you are in the world, but about making connections with real people.

TRAVELLING LIKE A TRUE PORTEÑA

El Mitre.

INTERESTING THING ABOUT BUENOS AIRES #7

El Flor.

Yup, just that. A solar energy powered flower that opens and closes depending on the position of the sun. Essentially of no utility to the people of Buenos Aires, only a tourist attraction. A really awesome tourist attraction.

CANOE'IN' UP A STORM

Due to stormy, below-freezing weather, only the toughest exchange students made it on the tigre-canoe expedition.






Antici-pation.












Worth it.

TAKING RAIN SERIOUSLY

THE PHANTOM OF SAN ISIDRO

The most territorial dog ever.





At the Tren de la Costa station in San Isidro, there lives this dog. Perro vs. Tren battles took place every 15 minutes when a train passed by. This dog loathed the Tren de la Costa and tried to bark it away every time it entered the station. You would think he would just learn to get along with it, but not this dog. He obviously has territory issues.

CORPORATE AMERICAN EXPORT CULTURE
