Avenida Santa Fe

Chris and I popped out this evening to Avenida Santa Fe to try and get my local SIM card working. Ridiculously I’m having trouble with it! I thought I’d left my mobile jinxing behind me in the UK.

It seems fairly nice, standard mall I guess.
Avenida Santa Fe is a huge shopping street and it was packed. This was about 19.00 so everyone was hurrying about the place, shopping and making their way home. It was very energetic and very exciting, felt like a real urban scene.

It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US...

Yesterday Chris and I took a long stroll. Along the way we came across and area (just near Abasto) with thousands of shops selling store manequins. It was very strange indeed. In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
