Another beautiful place in the world. If someone likes the charm of Southern European culture, with its advantages niewiatpliwymi, and even all faults, and by the way he loves the big city life-such a city is only one of Buenos Aires. Most descriptive Paris 100 years ago there fit. City, who did not sleep here, and you can probably find all the entertainment which only can be devised. Inclusive of the great Polish pub (for those interested-bar "Krakow", San Telmo, Venezuela 474). Anyway, this pub is a new example of Polish emigration. Of course, not very large, but quite different from that of 100 years ago-when I come here, and the rural poor after WWII, where they reached many Poles scattered all the world to troops in the West, etc. Today the whole Argentina, especially Buenos Aires, but (as usual) again downloading crowds immigrants. With this amendment, the new immigration from Europe or the U.S. They are mostly people who come here with some capital and to begin with, most often rather small, business. It is, moreover, very easy (not necessarily from the bureaucracy, but the business), because the words describe the way the basic functioning of the southerners is of course "fiesta, siesta and Manana," so if only a relatively przyzwiocie anyone can do his job and has a northern European approach to it is is condemned outright for success here.
But back to the city-must remember one thing. This is great. Going from the center of any page 40 km further we are in town. Officially, no less than 13 million inhabitants, unofficially belongs to add at least a million-including many illegal immigrants from neighboring Paraguay and Bolivia. They can recognize the variety at first glance-Argentinians are white, and are commonly Paragwajczycy metysi, Boliwiczycy-Indians. Classes also differentiates some of them-roughly speaking, India is August recycling (ie, rummaging in garbage cans), and metysi simple physical work. Besides, if the racial mix of the local growing-General stores are increasingly conducting their Chinese of course are jewelry retailer in the yarmulkes, and Negroes indefinite sell junk on the sidewalks. In this set does not completely surprised to hear about a Pole, who founded the company in construction and rather quickly began lists their nice-in the end everywhere and transport timber is a Polish specialty.
A transport in this city is of course a completely different story. The mere passage through the streets requires some practice and understanding of the rules. For someone with Polish is not until such a big problem, but the transfer from the U.S. or the UK could result in a certain sense of loss ... Vehicles, traffic lights follow, but they are rather pedestrian-and do not concern it both ways. With this, that she sees on the crossing in August glowing white puppet is not clear that one can go safely. Rather, a flock of bikers pass us, but in fact the car and a bus stop in August to pass a pedestrian not to be believed. Truly speaking, as yesterday stopped the car before going to make me miss it I did not know how to react.
another story behind it is public transport-bus drivers generally do not think anyone said that the gas or brake at all you can hit different than until it stops. And it actually describes everything. Apart from that night out of hours, I go to two or even four of the same line, one behind the other and at the bus stops one who is not fully loaded. Metro is even funnier. As a completely crowded can be defined off-peak hours. But in the rush hour could be observed with another self-organizing ability of normal society. Now, in the metros dzwiach usually become quite ordinary men and Rosli dopychaja himself and the rest of the passengers at the time of closing the door. Of course I have to close all the doors on the train to set off, which usually does not succeed as the first attempt-but generally works.
again-though of course the city is great. Various districts differ from each other probably more than for example the cities in Poland. Starting from this example, Puerto Madero, which has become indistinguishable from the American metropolis by Palermo, Buenos longer true, but where the local as often as you can hear English on the streets (not from tourists, residents only) to the wretched villa misera, full Métis and Indians-who recalls that, however, we are in South America.
A more-general, describing the city is still for people, not for cars. And truly speaking, who has a little car here. It is the first road in life (and it's not about fuel, insurance, or something-just a car, which as the local conditions are really expensive), and second in the city virtually useless-public transport, despite the customary traffic congestion Works fine and is also plenty of cheap taxis (specifically, the largest in the world per capita). A and so exiting the house actually do not have to ride almost anywhere. Everything is always close. Is it a restaurant or cafe, shop-way or owaki There is always a ten-minute walk in the footprint. A purchases also do not have to wear them-most of the shops provide your own transportation.
-course home from work, but sometimes far away. However, as someone do not like usual means of transport-can also do as another friend. Thanks to good relations with local police, usually comes home ... cop car.
A police general, there is a lot and is generally safe. However, if someone is not noticed earlier in this description-it is a great city. Of course, here you can get rid of the wallet, purse, or backpack. And again-in different places in different ways. In better neighborhoods first-class pickpockets operate in the medium already use methods more like trick than finesse, and the worst probably can get the caps simply. But anyway, I at least feel safer here than in San Francisco, for example, not to mention the Polish cities. Though it may have influenced it, the city did not fall asleep and not wilderness after dark. In fact, exactly live around the clock every day of the week.
So, summarizing, if someone likes-poludniowoeuropejska culture, or at least I feel good in takiech places, and by the way that live like a big city-it is the right place on earth, and equally as possible, and perhaps more civilized than at least some regions of southern Europe. It should at least visit them and try to know.
