Loros & new concert tickets

October 22, 2009

Yesterday I came back from university when I saw a hustle and bustle of green-yellow loros in front of my apartments building at Plaza Lavalle. There were about ten of them flying around - from one palm tree to another. I hope next time I’ll have my good camera with me to take a good shot of them. These loros are called cotorras argentinas [lat: Myiopsitta Monachus]. They are making quite a noise. ;)

Today, at the Ticketek at Centro Cultural Recoleta, Tina and I bought tickets for the ‘Pepsi Music 09‘ concert, one of the most important concerts in the year. We got tickets for one of the two national concert days. There are 15 national bands playing that day: Calle 13, Catupecu Machu, Vincentico, Misterio, Los Autenticos Decadentes, Los Tipitos, Gogol Bordello, Cultura Profética, The Ting Tings, Maximo Park, Karamelo Santo, Dante, Dr. Krápula, Zoe, Mamá Pulpa. At one of the international concert days ‘Die Toten Hosen’ are playing. They are quite famous here. The concerts will be in the Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires. It holds 30,000 spectators.

We enjoyed a bit the very nice weather in front of the Hard Rock Café with a nice view overlooking the Plaza Francia and the Plaza Intendente Torcuato de Alvear. There we saw a couple of cotorras argentinas flying over our heads. :)  

I wanted to buy a ticket for Jason Mraz concert as well but all the cheap tickets are already sold out. There are only the most expensive tickets left which cost three times more. Therefore just one concert. It is better for the wallet anyway. ;)

Next weekend I need to go to Colonia (Uruguay) to extend my tourist visa for another 90 days. There are two different boats. The faster boat needs 75 minutes to cross the Rio de la Plata. I hope there will be good weather to enjoy the day trip! I’ll finally have the chance to eat some good fish. :) In Bs.As. they only have filete de merluza (hake fillet) in supermarkets and restaurants. My professor recommended chivito uruguayo, a special Uruguayan meat dish, to me. We’ll see! ;)

btw: paper napkins in restaurants and bars are usually hard like baking parchment; therefore absolutely useless :(

Resorts Lover:

I’ve not been in the Philippines for long but its clear to me it’s an amazing land. Anyway, I’m just commenting here because I’m reading blogs about Manila. and found your blog through google. If you can share any ideas on things to try when in Manila then I’d appreciate hearing them. Happy Holy Week!

Vliebergh Anne:

Hello Ingo,

My name is Anne Vliebergh, I am a 42 years old woman of Belgium and I have a request for you.

I’m reading with great pleasure your blog because I’m a big big big fan of Argentina. I had the luck
to spend 2 weeks in Buenos Aires in July, together with my friend, a lady of about my age too.

We had the time of our live over there as we have a lots of friends over there and now we were able to meet
them in person. We have received so many enthousiastic reactions when we came home so that I decided to write
down a report of our trip. Afterwards I added some photos to my report…but the problem is that we don’t have
so many photos and we didn’t have such a great camera…so can I use some of the photos on your blog
in my report. Of course I’l mention your name and if you like I’l enumerate the pictures that are yours.

For the moment, the report only exist in Dutch (I’m Flemish). I’m looking at a translater to put it in Spanish
because I have to spread it in Argentina also. I do speak a bit Spanish, but not enough to translate the whole
report. So, if I have the Spanish version, and if you like, I can give you a copy of my report in Spanish later on.

I hope on a positive reaction !

Enjoy the coming New Year !!!

Anne, Belgium.

Weather here in Bs.As. is just too hot! It’s 2am and we still have 28°C. There will be 36°C tomorrow. Good that I’ll go to the Jungle where it’ll be 3°C less - but 90% of humidity :-S

"The forms of tango are like stages of a marriage:
The American tango is like the beginning of a love affair, when you're both very romantic and on your best behavior.

contra un ocaso amarillo
