The first time you try to order a pizza in Buenos Aires you’ll realize that pizza, like many other things in Argentina, is just a little bit different. As a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, I am here to give you the breakdown: Salsas (Sauces) Buenos Aires has been on yellow heat alert, reaching 38°C – 40°C high almost everyday since last week! It’s the summer here and that’s why this is the season when most of the Argentine city dwellers go South to escape the extreme heat. For those who are still in the city, staying inside with the [...] It’s sometimes hard to remember that Christmas is fast-approaching here in Buenos Aires. For one thing, it isn’t cold — an unthinkable sensation for those of us hailing from north of the equator.

The sheer numbers of them prove that Buenos Aires has one of the best ice cream in the world. You surely have to try them out, if not once, [...] I wouldn´t by any means call myself a wine connoisseur. Far from it. But this is wine-rich Argentina, and I do enjoy drinking wine but don´t usually have tons of money to spend on it. I always find myself in my local chino (supermarket usually run by Chinese descents) gawking at the [...] As Starbucks invades the world, including gradually taking up corners in Buenos Aires since a few years ago, the Starbucks lingo: tall, grande, venti, trenta, frappuccino etc, are also slowly entering the already coffee-riched Argentine culture.
