But on my first ever visit to BA back in December 2003, I walked down that street and fell in love with the city. December is by far my favourite month in BA, the schools and unis have broken up, Christmas is coming, everyone's happy, the bars are full every night and there's a tangible energy that i've only ever felt in New York before. It's the one thing that's truly special about Buenos Aires, that energy. And i first felt it along Florida. So, despite it being a rip off and a hellish version of hell, I still have a place in my heart for Calle Florida. <BR/><BR/>Shame it's 39094 times more expensive than it was in December 2003.<BR/><BR/>Damn, I <I>almost</I> posted a comment without mentioning inflation but I just couldn't help myself. How much are taxis these days?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169397688725536114.post-67259293973774964442008-03-06T18:48:00.000-06:002008-03-06T18:48:00.000-06:00You meant "Take a freaking shower, cut your hair, ...You meant "Take a freaking shower, cut your hair, and get off my lawn!", right?Estebanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546977413943507625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169397688725536114.post-773455997334512082008-03-06T07:36:00.000-06:002008-03-06T07:36:00.000-06:00I'm not a fan of crowded places either.
