First post!

So. I`ve finally arrived at the Milhouse Hostel in the St. Nicolas part of Buenos Aires. After a billion hours on the plane, a ride through which I actually slept most of the time, it was nice to make the first steps on Argentinian ground at 8 am local time. sunny weather, 9 degrees and fairly windy already makes me feel a little better about not having had the time to visit Iceland this year.

I`ve already met a couple of nice people, and the mission for these 5 days in Buenos Aires is to look for someone who might join me on the bus to La Paz. When the Hostel receptionist heard about my plans to reach Cuzco, Peru and ultimately Quito, Ecuador by bus, he just laughed and wished me good luck.

After checkin, I took a stroll with my new dutch and english friends, to look for something for lunch. After one hour of finding nothing, we ended up in a very boring and international cafe. Guess we`ll save the specialities for later. On our way home, i learned that the most striking thing about the city center, is the trafical anarchy that results from having 10 lanes and only one traffic light in each direction. Well, not the Thai kind of anarchy, but still a huge mess.

Since i don`t want to exclude anyone, i`ve chosen to do the blog in english. But should you want to make comments, feel free to do so in your own language (as long as i understand it). So..ehm..no spanish..until later.

So, this was a fairly boring post, but there`s a first time for everything.

/I (who has never (nor will he EVER) applaud a plane landing).
