Buenos Aires 1.
Yesterday my trip from Iguaçu to Buenos Aires was a bit longer than planed, I had more than an hour delay. After arrival I went to the apartment I am renting and brought my cloths to the laundry. They washed and ironed a big amount for 8 USD. Next I went to the Hungarian embassy, and had a nice talk with the ambassador, who was very helpful. Then I went for a good night walk.
In the morning I had an economical breakfast (croison, cafe, orange juice) for 3 USD. Than I tried to get some cash from an atm, but that became a nice experience. From the 8 cash-machines 2 was functioning, 4 was officially out of order, 2 was just out of cash, that at 9 am on a Friday... I was queuing for money about 20 min, after I retrieved my freshly washed clothes and ironed shirts, and with the Hungarian ambassador we went to the Argentinean ministry for foreign affairs, where we met the Director of the Diplomatic Academy and the director of the department of trade.
After the meetings I had a nice lunch in of the local restaurants, which was ok but a bit exaggerated price (13 USD). I bought a metro-card topped it up and took the "subte" (40 cents for a ride - WTF). I visited the famous placa de Mayo, the Presidential house (Casa Rosada) and the Bicentenary Museum, which shows the 200 years of history of Argentina with a "slight touch of Peronism". :-) Then I walked along the Avenida de Mayo until the Congress and back to my apartment.
At night with a Hungarian friend of mine, Anita (she is the cousin of Beus, my old friend from the university times) we went out for dinner. We had a juicy steak, of course. :-)
