The first trip abroad was dedicated to the company's business trip to Argentina.
After landing, the customs was quite polite, I did not speak English, and even asked me two questions to say that I did not understand, but I just smiled and stamped through.
Book a taxi at the airport for $47 in the evening to take me to the hotel, and drive all the way along the so-called widest Avenue of July 9th, which is indeed wide, but it is divided into several roads by the green belt, and the view does not look so wide.
First impression, let's talk about the bad first:
There are a lot of homeless people, and someone will stop you and ask you for money, but it's okay, just pretend that you don't understand and there will be no physical contact. There will also be people who ask for food, and when they see the fruit in your hand, they may take it directly, so give it to him obediently. At the door of each supermarket, there are basically old and weak poor who ask for money and things, and if they are kind, buy a bottle of Coke for them, and they will be happy for half a day.
The road hygiene is very poor, although there is really little dust, because of the lack of cleaners, plus laziness, the road, bird, homeless people's, paper scraps, can not be cleaned in time.
Many restaurants on weekends are not open, and even if they are open late, after 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday nights are when their local young people are high in the bar nightclub, and on Sunday night, many bars are closed, as if agreed. High prices, the country's economy has regressed to a certain point, prices are still maintained at the level of developed countries in Europe and the United States, basically eat a meal outside in addition to pizza, KFC, M, etc., the basic dipping meat is more than 200, the average price is 300, according to the exchange rate at this time, RMB a meal more than 100 is normal. Not to mention electronic products, clothes, etc., are much more expensive than domestic, drugs are even more expensive, any Swiss imported liquid Viagra da Dula Kant is more than 200 yuan, or it is recommended not to buy here.
The government's efficiency is poor, because I am on a business trip and do not have much contact, but I know some local Chinese who do business, and it is such things that I complain about the most.
The wind in winter is very strong, and it is often useless to hold an umbrella on rainy days, but fortunately, there are many showers here, and the wind is also strong, and the rain clouds generally do not stay long.
The commercial street closes very early (7-8 pm), and many weekends are not open, not like in China, weekends and holidays are the main time of domestic commercial streets, which is completely different from here
Good place:
The air is genuinely good, whether it's cloudy or rainy, the sky is very beautiful on a sunny day. The city of Bu, the capital of Argentina, means good air in Spanish, and it lives up to its name.
Beef and red wine, very good, the beef sold in the supermarket can be taken back to the hotel directly add some salt and pepper, olive oil marinated for ten minutes (sold in the supermarket) put into the frying pan (five minutes each for the front and back) or put in the oven for 15-20 minutes, it tastes great, much more cost-effective than domestic steak meat, a piece of 300 grams of steak meat, the supermarket will sell between 20-40 yuan. Argentina is also the fifth largest producer of red wine in the world, and I myself am allergic to wine, but my colleagues have a lot of praise.
People are very friendly, of course, those who do not worry about eating and drinking, food and clothing, will be very warm greetings after looking at each other, hola.
The park and scenic spots are great, the greenery of the park, the trees are a certain age, you can sit on the grass on weekends, watch children play football, or play with dogs, the fitness atmosphere here is very heavy, on weekends in the park and scenic areas can often see a variety of running, roller skating, hockey, football, a lot. Zoos will also take animals that do not harm humans so closely, and on the way to the zoo, you will see peacocks, various ponies, and duck-like animals walking with people.
Winter is not too cold, and recently it is winter here, when the temperature is as low as 7-8 degrees, and it often gets hot to about 20 degrees. Very livable.
