Top Reasons Why To Love Summer In Buenos Aires:
Tits and Ass on the News
It wouldn’t be an Argentine summer without tits and ass shown on TV – and LOTS of it. Everywhere you look HOLA TETAS, HOLA CULOS. It’s like a Wild On E! / MTV Spring Break / Crónica TV special.
The Commercials
Argentina is known for their funny, inventive commercials – especially when summertime rolls around. These pretty much exemplify how the creative and funny content that comes out of these publicidades.
Speedy: Oriundos Verano 2011
Sprite: De Lejos Están Todas Buenas
Claro: El Tema De Verano
Real and Fake Beaches
Once someone told me that the best Argentine beaches are in Uruguay. But despite what these beach snobs say, there are beautiful weekend vacation spots along the Costa Atlántica. Steer clear of the Mar del Plata craziness, which might be comparable to the Jersey Shore, and check out more relaxed destinations like Mar Azul, Cariló, Mar de Las Pampas and Villa Gesell.
If you can’t make it to the real beach, no need to worry – you can stay in Capital and still get the whole playa experience: yellow umbrellas, sand, beach volleyball, outdoor showers – you know, everything important minus the actual ocean. Visit Buenos Aires Playa, Peru Beach or even a plaza in your barrio and it’s almost like the real thing.
Empty Subte
Riding on the subway can be hell on earth – it’s like walking into a sauna with horny men pushing up against you and pushy old ladies with slapping their hand fans in your face. But when summer rolls around, the number of sweaty men with dripping arm pits manage not to get up in your grill, and elbowing middle aged woman (and men) tend not to push so hard to get a seat. What a time to ride the subway!
I think the worst people on the subway are older men. They do all the pushing and they smell the worst.
P.S. My favorite commercial is totally this one:
from a few years ago, but i love all these quilmes commercials “el verano te encuentra” with the typical argentine vacation spots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FikzU4yeu9Y
Uruguay is another country, actually. Or i didn’t get the joke. :P
You mean to say Uruguay and Argentina are two different countries?!! All these years living here and I thought Uruguay was in Zona Norte… ;)
Brilliant,I just LOLd at work and everyone looked at me.
