Buenos Aires

The Capitol building, modelled after its American counterpart. It is very nice, and hard to get a picture of due to the fence behind right behind me. Hope i'll get a better picture of the real thing when i go to DC in March.













From the Necropolis in La Recoleta (the richest part of BA). This is a cemetary for the rich and famous, and is full of tombs and sarcophagi trying to overgo eachother in their opulence. In short, it's a pissing contest for the dead. It feels very weird to walk around here, specially if you go early before all the tourists arrive. I was pretty appalled by the whole thing, some of these graves are bigger than houses and must have cost more than most people earn in a lifetime. With all the rich people lying here, you'd think they would have enough money to care for the place. Nope, they have the gall to ask tourists for donations and to buy maps and stuff. Guess that's how one becomes rich in the first place, by spending other peoples' money.







Another one of the "graves". Can you believe the hubris of some people?




















Rows upon rows of little death boxes. Sell your car and your house, and you might afford one too.

















This one is obviously modelled on The Tardis of Doctor Who fame. I like the modifications to the original design, lets in more light and gives it a nice modern look. Cudo's to the dead guy for brightening up my day.

For the footie fans. I didn't go to the stadium on purpose, it was on the way to the harbor so i stopped by to have a look. There was even a look-a-like of Maradona walking around on the next street trying to stiff tourists for a picture.
He didn't fool me, he didn't look at all like he'd done a few kilo's of cocaine over the years.
