La primavera

The spring has come. The weather is slowly (very slowly) becoming warmer. The flowers are growing, the girls are wearing less clothes, and the porteño werewolves are out on the streets waiting for their next victim.
Yes, Buenos Aires is not a mini skirt friendly city (or should I say that is excessively friendly with mini skirts?). If you want to walk around without driving too much attention (towards your body) you better not wear revealing clothes. And by revealing I´m not talking about being dressed like a slut, I´m talking about, skirts (any kind), dresses and t shirts that show your belly.
Aparently, men from Buenos Aires, haven´t received any education when it comes to how to treat women, o they´ve made up their own rules without the supervision of any member of the opposite sex.
These are some examples of "normal" men behavior:

• 
  If a group of men are talking on the street and a girl passes them walking, they should all stop the conversation, stare at her and turn their heads to keep staring at her until she* is no longer visible ( * her butt)


• 
  If you are walking alone, and someone finds you very attractive, he is entitled to tell you whatever it is on his mind. And usually those minds are full of nasty (nasty) thoughts...


• 
  If you look extremely attractive to someone, he can not only say nasty things , but he can try to get closer and pretend that he is going to touch you ( they only touch you in the worst cases, please don´t panic)
• 
  If You are in a bar/disco, and someone finds you attractive and he tries to talk to you but don´t want to, he can scream at you or even insult you just because you didn´t pay him the attention he deserved.
  
• 
  If a guy is with his girlfriend but he also thinks you are pretty, he can make you feel very uncomfortable by staring at you all night, or even try to flirt.

Hey I´m not talking about Piropos here. Or innocent flirting. I´m talking about when men are rude and think that girls are pretty things for their entertainment. So please, lets make the spring better for everybody, even for pretty girls.
And my advice for the guys: You can get the attention of girls without being a jerk, I promise.

Politics in the Bondi (Bus)

I´m going to write down some of the highlights of a discussion among a bus driver, and the 2 passengers on the first seat (while he was driving and cursing, of course)

"The blood of the Argentinians is corrupted. There is filth running trough our veins. 80% of the people are polluted with the corruption Virus" Bus Driver

"These guys are collecting signatures to approve a law and They´ve asked for mine. I told them: " this is not the way to do it, nobody will pay attention even if you collect 30000000 signatures. The only way is to force the politicians" ( I wonder what he was talking about when he said "force the politicians" ) Passenger #1

"If the president cannot stop inflation, if the president can´t repair the streets, if the president can´t educate us, then he shouldn't´t be the President" Passenger #2

We have sooo many opinions about everything. And nobody is ashamed of speak out. Maybe sometimes we should.

Anything you can do I can do better...

We are better. But better than who? Well, apparently, than anyone else ( for some childish porteños...)

Oh! You are from Yankeelandia! (yankeelandia =USA)

Porteño mind:

You owe me a drink just because your president is screwing us ("us" means "the rest of the world" in this case). And by the way, maybe you own the world, but we the ones who are enjoying life!

Oh!You are From Spain!

Porteño mind:

I wonder why Spain is doing better than us, I mean, look at this guy, he is exactly like me, he just has this annoying accent.

Oh! You are from France!

Porteño mind:

You are the best lovers in the world? Ha, This guys don´t know what they are talking about. Let me do your wife so she can decide who is the BEST.

Oh! You are from Canada!

Porteño mind:

I don´t know what´s going on in Canada, but they live next to the US. So, the same goes for you guys.

Oh! You are From Brazil!

Porteño Mind:

So What, you have the beautiful beaches and the hot girls, but we can kick your ass in Soccer

Portrait of our people

We are beautiful people, I mean, we ( porteños) are exceptional.

We are friendly and a lot MORE.

The other day I was walking around with my camera until I saw this and I thought it was extremely cute:



I´m talking about the little dog in the backpack., of course. Here is a closer image:



but the guy noticed that I was taking pictures, and as a very nice porteño that he is, he posed for the camera and I felt forced to take a picture of him saying hi:



What I didn´t capture is what he did next. He turned the waving of his hand into another common gesture here: he put the tip of his fingers together and moved his thumb up and down. I don´t know if you know this gesture, but just in case you don´t get it I´ll say it more clear: he was asking for money.

Dumb ass, I should pay the dog, not you!!!

Wine with wine

Argentina has really good wines, blah, blah, blah, excellent wines, blah, blah....

But saying it it´s not enough, you have to try them, get drunk, pass out, wake up with a hangover and then you´ll be entitled to express you opinion

And what better change than going to the wine fair?

It´s just for 3 days starting today in La Rural (this is in Palermo, Plaza Italia)

From 6pm till midnight

Good luck with wine experience!

Time out magazine loves Diva (and Bitch tours of course)
