Floralis Generica / Universidad de Buenos Aires

Alors j'ai finalement commencé à prendre des photos de la ville un peu. Hier je suis allé voir la Floralis Generica, dans le cartier Recoleta. Pour ceux qui en savent un peu... la fleur est ouverte le jour, et se referme lorsque la nuit! A date je l'ai pas encore vu ouverte... mais bon ca ne devrait pas tarder! (he he j'espère!) A part de ca, ici tout va bien, la température est moins froide, tout mes cours on débutés... et je commence a ma retrouver un peu dans la métropole!

P.S. Vous pouvez également voir dans la deuxième photo l'édifice de la faculté de droit de la plus grosse université à Buenos Aires, qui se nomme la UBA (c'est une université publique... pas la mienne!). Huge... non!?!

Finally got an apartment / Watch gone !

Hey everyone!

I know I know, it's been a while! Last week was quite crazy! First of all, since I last updated the blog I switched hostels cause I just couldn't stand the cold anymore, there was an open window in my room! I spent two more days in the other hostel, which was quite cool and actually had heating and no open windows!
But I spent only 2 nights there... cause I finally got my own apartment! It's a 4 and 1/2 in Palermo Viejo, and I am living there with 2 Columbian s, one who studies at my University as well, and the other is taking classes somewhere else... and yeah and they speak only espanol. We got the apartment last Tuesday, so everything is going pretty fast I could say. As of now I still don't have an internet connection at home, but I'll try to update the blog when I'm at school.

Other than apartment hunting and trying to get adjusted here, I have had the chance to taste some of the nightlife in B.A.

Asia de Cuba (July 27th):

This is a really ritzy club in Puerto Madero. Lot's of fun, we got there at around 2:30 A.M. and left at around 6:00 A.M. Good music, with a video monitor showing the music videos... but quite expensive! In this picture you can see Tanguy (from France) with Analia and her friend (two girls we met at the Club) and to my right you can see a part of Cindy (from France as well).

Here are a few pictures of the second hostel I stayed in:

In the second picture you can see Shery, one of my roommates from Columbia, and in the last one you can see me in the cab, that was packed to the max with my stuff and hers, when we needed to move from the hostel to our apartment last Tuesday!

Maluco Beleza (August 3rd)

This is a Brazilian club... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G music, dancers and Caipirinas! Had a great time with a bunch of Canadians who have been in Argentina for 6 months already! Ah yeah, and got my watch stolen from my arm without even noticing... professionals!

Club Huracan (August 4th)
On saturday, after trying to recuperate a bit from Maluca, I got convinced by Columbian friends to go to Club Huracan, which is a party that was thrown in a Basketball court and played live traditional Argentinian folk music... it was crazy fun to dance! Quite difficult but I got some cool peeps who were to glad to show me how!

Well, that's about it for the updates for now, for those who don't have Facebook and want to see the pictures of the Going Away party... here they are as promised:

Part 1 and Part 2


Take care people, I hear it's quite hot right now in MTL, lucky u's!
