I'm in NY, so forget about my tours till late November

Finally I'm in NYC. I was wondering wether starting a blog about my tip or not. I know I'm funny when I bitch about my own country, but I don't think that US people would enjoy me if I bitch about them. So far I'm only writing on my Moleskine journal (Reverend Jaja's present. Thank you! By the way, I went to a Jazz Liturgy and it was great. We don' t have anything like that in BA).
see you later

This is just great


Someone posted the following review about my blog on Indextar


The world is neither black nor white
For someone who inspires to be a journalist/writer, her writing style is insipid and boring. The themes can be amusing, but she describes them in a way that is so deadpan it truly is a shame. For Diva all extranjeros who visit her city are rich, that 800 dollar ticket doesn´t just materialize. For Diva all porteños are assholes trying to screw you, or screw you over. I have a lot of issues with the persona she transmits, but I still read the blog.

Ha!
Please, feel free to post a review on Indextar. The ones who love me (and proud of that fact) please write nice things; the ones who love me (but are too ashamed to say it) just write anything for my reading pleasure like the review above these lines.


The worst of Buenos Aires: Why not?


When you visit a place, you are always eager to find the best places and the coolest things to do, but the lame, the bizarre, the ugly stuff is also an important part of each city/culture. And in same cases it could be the rule and not the exception.
Buenos Aires has, fortunately a lot of great things, and you´ll find them easily in your guide book; but what about when you just want a shitty dinner? Well, I can give you some advice.

Worst tango show: La ideal

You don´t want to miss the tango show while you are in Buenos Aires and that´s ok. Where else would you find such great dancers and musician like here in its birth place? But you are just too cool to book a show at Mr Tango. Don´t worry, for a lot less you can get a much worse Tango show. La ideal tango show sucks. But i´t so bad that you´ll enjoy it. Everything is so low-cost and bad-taste that it actually ends up being a must-see if you are into Bizarre tango shows. Enjoy it!

Worst neighbourhood: Villa ortuzar

Maybe it´s because of its name that this neighbourhood is so shitty(Ortuzar: orto means butt). It´s not only ugly but also boring. When you get off the subway stop (Tronador) all you can see is the nothingness itself. No good restaurants, no green parks; just nothing. It worth a visit if you are planing on committing suicide

Worst drink: Fernet con coca

I wonder why this is the most popular drink in Buenos Aires (and maybe in Argentina) when it tastes like an expired herbal medicine. It does helps you to get drunk pretty fast though. Don´t miss it!

Worst service: ?

There has been a tie between all the restaurants/bars in Palermo attended by waitresses /"artists" in Palermo, and the old bars attended by waiters who are over 85 and suffer hemorrhoids. Anyway, I promise that you won´t miss a bad service while you visit our city, even if you are not looking forward to it.

Worst pizza:

There are a lot of new pizza-chains that suck; but if I have to choose a winner; I´d go for the pizza that you can find in the international students parties. You cannot complaint though, because it´s usually for free or you pay like 10 pesos for cheap wine plus all the pizza you can eat. Bu I guess that if you are drinking bad wine, lousy pizza is a good match, right?
