Today was a pretty lazy day. I went back to Recoleta Market, yet was unable to find anything that I felt like buying. Shopping is an ordeal in Buenos Aires. ATMs dispense 100 peso notes, yet most merchants/vendors never have change for the 100 peso note and often times, won't make the sale because they can't break the 100 peso note. It's frustrating. There are also a LOT of counterfeit pesos in circulation, so I always had to make sure I had the real deal.
I had dinner at a cafe around the corner. Most restaurants don't open for dinner until after 9 PM. Luckily, we had a 24 hour cafe nearby. After dinner, I decided to check out the nightlife. Bars don't open until midnight. I found a bar and it was waaaaaaaaaaay too crowded for my taste. Argentines are, by and large, really thin people. I happened to stumble across the only place in Buenos Aires that was full of Rubenesque individuals in their 40's and 50's, undulating on the dance floor. I had one Quilmes and then ran back to the hotel.
