These are a few of my Favorite things...

So I realized that even though I have been living in Buenos Aires for 4 months now I havent really written too much about it. For the sake of time I am just going to write some of my favorite things about this great city. For some this will mean absolutely nothing to you, for others maybe it can be a good reference for when you travel to Buenos Aires someday, and finally I am sure my fellow gringo-porteños will be able to appreciate most of these things and even add a few more....Shall we begin?
