Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
The bus from Iguazu was supposed to reach Buenos Aires at 10am. In the end, we reached at 12:30 noon. It didn’t matter to me since I was jobless and schoolless.
While on the bus, I managed to conquer my motion sickness and write up a few disjointed blog posts. At times like these, I really wish I have 3G internet so I can surf the web.
When our bus arrived at our destination, there was a group photo. Try squinting to see me.
I took the same bus as I did coming back from the US embassy. It felt strange to look at this city which I’ve been in for about 3 weeks. I recognized some of the street names and some shop fronts looked familiar.
I headed back to my old hostel. Now I have a new bed space, the furthest away from the window (Hurray!) and has a less saggy mattress.
I spent most of the afternoon on the bed, trying to get a nap. It didn’t work.
In the end, I walked to the supermarket for dinner. As usual, I bought steak (it’s just so cheap here!) and half a head of cabbage because it was cheap (S$1 per kilo!) and I need my fiber after countless suppers of steak.
While I was preparing my steak, the hostel receptionist who was from Buenos Aires gave many tips for cooking steak:
- Beat the meat to tenderize it (I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way.)
- Cooking in on an iron grill (and not the frying pan I was using.)
- Pair the steak with a strong Malbec (not the wimpy rosada Malbec that I got.)
Anyway, my steak turned out awesome even without his tips. Still, I might take his advice when I’m cooking my next meal.
The rest of the night was spent preparing my newsletter and looking at random things on the internet. I should start planning touristy trips out of the hostel.
