Martha and me couchsurfed the first three days with Jorge, who lived with two friends in a house 20 minutes outside the city center, in a quiet and nice neighboorhood. After picking us up from the train station, he had to leave for his work. Thats how fast you get to a house of your own in BsAs ;) Pretty amazing how trustful the people on Couchsrufing are...
Since we didn't sleep in the night, we were really tired and slept the whole afternoon. The guys came home in evening and we talked a little with them. They seemed really nice, realxed and satisfied with their lives. They all played instruments and had this hippy-thing to be all relaxed about everything^^ Even after Jorge almost broke his butt while playing football (at work!!), he didn't complain and busied himself with playing on the guitar.
In the night a friend of him picked us up and took us to a Club/Bar/Restaurant, where we listened to live-music and drank something. Really nice night with good music.
The next day we went into the city and explored a little bit of the city center of BsAs. Its very green with lots of nice buildings. I really like the architecture of the buildings. Not like in Santiago, where most buildings got destroyed by earthquakes, some of the builings in BsAs are pretty old but really good taken care of.
The "teatro Colón" for example is one of the oldest theaters in Argentinia and looks amazing from the out-and inside. We even bought tickets for 10 Ar.$, which are like 2€, for a ballet on our last evening in BsAs. We only had standing places but it was amazing anyways...
Back to our couchsurfng experience again...Jorge and his housemates, which all work in the same place, took us to their office and Nico (the chef of the work) made us some nice food. By the way, their office is awesome!! Its a villa, located in a nice neighboorhood near their house, with a pool, a huge nice kitchen and a fire place in their huge garden. They all have a key for it and are allowed to go there whenever they want! Best work I have ever seen ;)
Teh next day it was raining so we spent our time helping Nico (Jorges housemate) cooking 120 Empanadas for his family christmas dinner and of course got some to eat in return. Sooo good!!
I the evening we packed and went to our hostel, which we had booked over christmas...
