Out and About

Sunday night is a big “going out” night in BA. On Sunday we went to Sitges again, we wanted to see the drag queen. We went for dinner first at a little restaurant in Palermo. We were aiming for a restaurant that Chris and I enjoyed last time we were here, Bar 6 on Armenia. It’s closed down for what appears to be some major fumigation and rodent management! I’m not sure we’d still go there for dinner, even if it did open again. A shame though, it was lovely.

The restaurant we chose was just down the road and we all had noodles. I had tofu, Vlad had beef and Chris had chicken. All good. We had a bottle of Malbec that we didn’t really care for. I need to find out more about Argentine wine.

After dinner we went to Sitges again. We wanted to see the drag queens. This time we might actually have been a little late... all the tables were taken and the “show” (karaoke) had started already. We stayed there for a few hours before heading to the club Amerika, which was loads of fun. We seldom went clubbing in London so I don’t imagine we’ll be doing much of it here, but it was good to see.

Something I’ve noticed is that people drink very lightly here. Even at 03.00 in the morning in the club everyone was fairly together and well behaved... so not like London then. It was a fun night.

While digging around I came across this interview that Time did with Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in September 2007, before she was elected. 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

Ølsen in Buenos Aires

Well Ølsen last night was great. It's in a stunning old warehouse with extremely tall ceilings and Scandinavian simplicity. The garden is a particular treat and a delight to enjoy when arriving. The food was good, although I wouldn't say that best and possibly not worth the price, it's not cheap, but the sharing starters with mini vodka shots were very good. After Ølsen, I came home and watched telly. I seem to becoming nocturnal.
