¿WWCarolinaD?

Our 'equipo,' aka my program's group, is starting to cross the line from tourists to residents. With the help of porteños, many rides on public transportation, and a healthy dose of curiosity, we're slowly learning the customs and geography of this large cosmopolitan city.

Through this process of live and learn, trial and error, 'oooh, ahora sabemos' (oooh, now we know), one thing has remained stable- Carolina gives the best recommendations.  

Carolina's Recommendations (executed):
1. Azúcar- a bumping salsa club that is full of patient locals ready to teach and share the love of salsa.
2. El Tigre- a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of BA (see prior post).
3. Ciudad Cultural Konex- a big o culture shock of themed nights and outside partying. Think an island spring break in the middle of the city.
4. Plaza Serrano- half outside market, half local designer department store. Absolutely amazing shopping experience.
5. Viruta- a tango venue that also hosts swing classes on Sunday nights. Class A people-watching. Slow, slow, quick, quick.

So what are our plans for this weekend? Ask Carolina.
