Buenos Aires

So we made it to Argentina. I guess it's the first visit to this country for everyone of us but we hope it won't be the last! Let's start with some food talk for once...the first month of the tour in Cuba and Colombia the food experience was pretty much dominated by rice and beans. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it especially because i don't get it too much back home in Switzerland.
In Brasil we got to eat lot's of fried stuff like Coxinha or Pastel. Both of them were available on every gas station and on little streetfood places in every city. And of course I should not forget to mention Prime Dog, Sao Paulo's number one spot for late night burgers and Acai.
Now in Buenos Aires we can totally feel the influnece of the Italians that immigrated to the city in the early 20th century...there are lots of pizza places all over the city and they are good and really cheap! And they like to add A LOT of cheese to their pizza. So the last couple of days we have been on a pizza diet...
So far we played three shows in Argentina and all of them were great fun! One of them took place in the center of Buenos Aires and the other two in Berisso and Temperley which are smaller cities in the greater area of Argentina's capital. Getting to the gigs here is quite an experience because other than in the countries before we're only using public transports which is kinda funny because we're getting a lot of attention when we try to squeeze into the subway with all our gear during the rush hour. But it's all worth it and to be honest I'm quite surprised in a really positive sense how well the shows went so far. I would not have expected so many people to come out for example in Temperley on a late sunday night.
Argentina definitely is a great experience so far and it' not over yet! We're stoked for what is to come!
