Buenos Aires

I´m now in Buenos Aires, if you hadn´t already guessed from the title. Its nice, warm, cheap, full of Argentinians who look ad speak Spanish and are all football mad. Internet cafes are back to reasonable prices (one thing I didn´t expect from america, it had worse connections than the jungle! I think everyone´s got broadband at home). Already been mustard squirted, and then mysteriously quickly some passer by happened to have a paper towel (he claimed it was birds, no breed I´ve heard off! Still, I didn´t taste it to make sure), and an intense interest in my bag and pockets, don´t think he got anything. Buenos Aires is a big city like any other. Now, do I go south to penguins or north to the lost cities of gold?
