Fin de Semana


This weekend, I was able to see more of the ‘nightlife’ with friends. Last night, we arrived at a small Argentine party around 11:30. Everybody kisses on the cheek to say hello and to introduce themselves. We arrived a little late but the food had just started cooking. We talked and laughed while waiting an hour for the asado. One thing I’ve noticed is that people here are connected. People will look in your eyes from across a room. People here will sit next to you. They will hug you. People will walk arm and arm with you. Not just men and woman. With all people, there is a feeling of being comfortable with whom they are. After the asado, at 2:30 am we went to a VH1 party that we had been invited to. In any club, there is a cover charge and it is crazy, almost like Las Vegas but without pretension. There is no ID required,ever. Inside, English music played and many people knew the words. Dancing, singing and laughing, people here allow themselves the freedom to really have fun. No wonder Sunday is for relaxing here.
