Puerto Madero


Life goes on in Buenos Aires. But one thing changed since my last post: I started Spanish lessons. I have two teachers: Gisela and Romina for a total of four hours a day. I am starting with the basics, the present tense, how to introduce myself… I learn quite quickly as French and Spanish are quite similar regarding many aspects. But I have to say that I am really feeling like a kid when the teacher claps because I have said something the right way.
In spite of my lessons I continue to discover the city. The last Barrio (district in Spanish) I have been to is Puerto Madero**. This posh area counts many restaurants, and buildings of international companies. It is a bit the Canary Warf of BA. There is especially one restaurant I have been to with two Israeli friends called Siga la Vaca** (meaning catch the cow). This restaurant is a tenedor libre (meaning free fork). In those restaurants, very famous in Argentina you can eat as much as you want for a fixed price, wine included. Not all of them are good, but this one offered very good meat.
