Why is this week so important for our country?

You should know, but I´ll tell you anyway.
Almost 200 hundred years ago, there was a major revolution in Buenos Aires, and basically we kicked the Spaniard viceroy´s butt and sent him back to his country and blah blah blah. But all of that is history, who cares about what happened 200 years ago? Why should it be important to commemorate the week of the Revolution of May?
Luckily, some very smart businessmen had a vision( I can imagine them meeting at a conference room just like in the days of the Revolution of May and planning a new revolution) and they decided that this week was no longer going to commemorate something that happened so long ago. So they declared that from now on this is the week of the Pizza and Empanadas (May 24th to May 31th).
How brilliant is that? Forget about history, think about Pizza and Empanadas. This is a strong message that I´m sure it´ll help our future generations to discern what is really important. Pizza and Empanadas week. Sounds great, tastes better.
So instead of trying to find out what happened in Buenos Aires in 1810, find out which are the new flavours in your favourite Pizza place.

Theater Colon turns 100



One of the most important opera houses in the world is closed for its birthday because they are "restoring it". This process started 2 years ago, and the works were going to finish before the 100th anniversary, but, since we are in Argentina, and we are always running a little bit late, it will take another 2 years till the restoration is complete.

This theater is one of the must- sees in Buenos Aires, and even though you cannot enjoy a show in there, at least you can take a guided visit. But only for 2 weeks, after that they´ll go back to "work".

Here is the link of the calendar with all the guided visits and the performances (that will take place in other theaters)
