  • Celebrating 21 Years of Life in Argentina
    CELEBRATING 21 YEARS OF LIFE IN ARGENTINA Aaand I’m back. After a hectic, time-consuming shopping period, I finally got the time to write this entry! Basically the past few weeks were spent traveling to 10 different classes and listening to their respective professors give introductions, and then judging by those whether or not I wanted to pursue the class. I also considered factors such as class size and how well I liked the professors. IFSA warned us how the Argentine university registration processes was notoriously disorganized, and that was certainly the case. Besides castellano, my classes include a seminar about political and social processes in Latin America, a class about contemporary solidarity movements in Argentina, and a human rights class. I’m also taking a film and literature class with a contemporary focus on the 21st century. That class, as well as castellano, is taught at the IFSA headquarters in center of town on Avenida Corrientes. The seminar is taught at La Universidad del Salvador, off Avenida Córdoba a little farther out in Recoleta but nearby a Subte estación. The rest of my classes are at La Universidad Católica Argentina in The San Telmo/Puerto Madero area. Out of all three places, UCA is by far the most modern, though it is an absolute pain to access- if you’re traveling from the center of town, you have to give yourself at least half an hour to cross the Plaza de Mayo (especially when there’s a protest) and then three wide avenidas. I should note that, yes, both universities are very much Catholic, with crosses and pictures of Pope Francis everywhere.

  • Buenos Aires Research Guide Where to Stay Travelling Around the City
    Buenos Aires Research Guide This is a multi-authored document on carrying out research in Buenos Aires, compiled by staff and students at the Centre of Latin American Studies, Cambridge. We hope it will be helpful to you and to many others in the future. Please email Joanna Page ([email protected]) if you have any new discoveries to add or to update any details that are wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Where to stay Most students/researchers would opt for one of three areas: Palermo, Barrio Norte or San Telmo. Palermo is the quietest and has low-rise buildings and lots of trendy cafes/restaurants, but it can feel a bit touristy, it’s further out from the city centre and the transport links aren’t as good, depending on which part you’re staying in. San Telmo is a more traditional neighbourhood and lots of people love it, but some parts are more rundown. Barrio Norte is probably a good compromise – nice, safe neighbourhood with lots of facilities and good transport links to the centre. Best to choose somewhere near a subte station or near major bus routes (eg along Avenida Santa Fe, Las Heras, etc.). Travelling around the city You will need to buy a Sube card for a small deposit on arrival, which will work for buses and the metro. This can then be recharged at metro stations and many kiosks. For travelling throughout the city, the websites http://beta.comoviajo.com/ and http://mapa.buenosaires.gob.ar/ are very useful. You can enter your starting point and destination and they will calculate the fastest public transport connections between them.

  • Destination Report
    Miami , Flori daBuenos Aires, Argentina Overview Introduction Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a wonderful combination of sleek skyscrapers and past grandeur, a collision of the ultrachic and tumbledown. Still, there has always been an undercurrent of melancholy in B.A. (as it is affectionately known by expats who call Buenos Aires home), which may help explain residents' devotion to that bittersweet expression of popular culture in Argentina, the tango. Still performed—albeit much less frequently now—in the streets and cafes, the tango has a romantic and nostalgic nature that is emblematic of Buenos Aires itself. Travel to Buenos Aires is popular, especially with stops in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Palermo— and each of its colorful smaller divisions—and the array of plazas that help make up Buenos Aires tours. Highlights Sights—Inspect the art-nouveau and art-deco architecture along Avenida de Mayo; see the "glorious dead" in the Cementerio de la Recoleta and the gorgeously chic at bars and cafes in the same neighborhood; shop for antiques and see the tango dancers at Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo Street Fair on Sunday; tour the old port district of La Boca and the colorful houses along its Caminito street; cheer at a soccer match between hometown rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate (for the very adventurous only). Museums—Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA: Coleccion Costantini); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes; Museo Municipal de Arte Hispano-Americano Isaac Fernandez Blanco; Museo Historico Nacional; Museo de la Pasion Boquense (Boca football); one of two tango museums: Museo Casa Carlos Gardel or Museo Mundial del Tango.
