Out The Window!

A little note on something strange but wonderful that I neglected. An apparent tradition (?) in Buenos Aires that left me utterly amazed, even though everybody else seemed totally cool about! On New Year's Eve, in the Microcentro, the "City" so to speak, apparently everybody throws out the window all the papers, notes and work diaries of the dying year! It's literally raining paper!!!

Have a look:

  1. Hey, just finally got updated on your blog! How long are you staying in Buenos Aires for... a) Until you learn enough Spanish to visit other places too, b) until you decide to move to move to the next place, c) until you run out of $$$ ??????
    Have a great time pit-pit :)
