La UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires) y el cementorio de Recoleta (tomb of EVITA)

Some days passed by so I got some new things to tell. At the moment I'm still trying to find my way through the city. From day to day I feel more comfortable taking the "colectivos" (buses) also knowing most of the time that I'll be missing the right stop. It's really hard to get off the right time, the bus drivers drive so fast that it's not only hard to follow their routes on the map but also to find the right bus stop on the streets. Mostly they don't have bus stops how we know them. It's more a kind of a sticker at a street light with the numbers that indicate which buses are passing by. Passing by doesn't mean they're really stopping! In order to get on the bus it's necessary to put your hands in the air so that the bus driver knows that you want to hop on the bus - which doesn't mean necessarily that he'll stop. Anyway - I'm glad I made it from my home to the UBA and back - by bus.
Today I went to another touristic attraction - to the graveyard of Recoleta, another part in the city. There the tomb of Evita - the famous wife of Juán Perón - can be visited at a very large graveyard. It was funny - even though many other important people from Buenos Aires have been burried there but everybody just seemed to pilgrim to her tomb which was full of flowers. You can see pics here. On this album you can also see my faculty.

Muchas cosas que escribes me acuerdan de Chile: Esto con los buses es lo mismo en Chile: Si quieres bajarte del bus en una "parada" no frenan sino que tienes que saltar del bus.
La universidad tuya me gusta - es muy diferente de la universidad de Augsburgo *g*

besito :-*

Hey Danilein!
Alles klar?
Hab grad deine Beiträge gelesen! Yeah, Tango! Que bueno!
Bin gestern Nacht aus Belrin zurückgekommen. War da 4 Tage mit noch anderen knapp 50 Leuten aus der jüdischen Gemeinde!
War super! Haben voll viel gesehen: Bundestag, Spreefahrt gemacht, Denkmal der ermoderten Juden Europas, Mauerm uvm.
Dein Appartment ist ja voll gemütlich! So hab ichs mir auch ungefähr vorgestellt, nachdem ich deinen ersten Beitrag gelesen habe! Und dein Zimmer, echt cool! Die Couch sieht wirklich so richtig zum sich "drauf fläzen" aus! :-)
Du musst nächstes Mal mehr Fotos von deiner Uni (besonders auch von außen, und die Räume von innen in Großansicht) reinstellen!
Wann gehts los? Am Montag?
Bei mir geht am Montag mein Praktikum beim SWR in Mainz los, bin schon voll gespannt! :-)
Wünsch dir was, Dani,
lg,
David.
