      For the bus situation would have to side with Jordan. With that option at least he would know where you are and come back and meet up with you. With Emily getting on the next bus it makes finding each other harder.

It was a pleasure for us to be able to share our culture with you. Next time we'll give you a tango class! Big hug from Buenos Aires to Australia ❤

    Three tips in Buenos Aires for tourists in Buenos Aires :
    1- You go inside the bus by the front and never by the back and that's why the bus driver didn't see you going inside
    2-When you have a problem just ask people ( Emily was inteligent to stay in the cafe ) because the most people in Buenos Aires would do anything to help you even when they cannot understand you.
    3-Do not use your credit card too much because the exchange rate is not good The best is using cash and so use Western Union as the way to get it. There are many tourists in the internet explaining how it works with WU )
    BA is a very big city but it's the first time I see tourists so confused with the directions Anyway I loved that you guys took it so cool Buenos Aires is also a place to chill and ENJOY and you did it great until now !!! 👍

      We were confused by this because we were initially at the front door but the bus driver gestured to the back so we headed to that door instead!
      Yes, she was so lovely to look after me while I was waiting 😅

      @@JordanandEmily That bus line has pretty good schedule. If he didnt open the front door and point you to the back just mean "TAKE THE NEXT BUS". Is super normal, so the first bus dont get full and then multiple buses of the same line didnt get together to the bus stops with the first being full.
      The back doors on buses are only to descend, never to go up. The driver was not being reckless or bad, because you only supposed to go in the front.
      You can go practically everywhere in buenos aires just with buses. there are almost 500 different bus lines between buenos aires and gran buenos aires.

Super friendly people tons of book stores open till very late restaurants everywhere,many theatres -cinemas in the theatre district surrounded by pizerias, restaurants etc and people very willing to help you out when you are lost: in the city-) This was my 2nd time there and I will definitely keep going back.

    I still remember the FaceTime call we had about this little mishap, talk about stressing your mother out. Do you remember what we agreed on with what to do in future if this happens again. The one who didn’t get on the bus/train stays put & the other goes back to where you were!! Apart from that little hiccup, it looked like a fantastic day. My favourite bit was the tango dancers, I could’ve sat there and watched them all day. She looked beautiful & they made the dance look easy. A very vibrant city with so many markets, I do love a market. Love you both, mum.xx

    Ahahaha, this has got to be one of the best travel vlogs on all of UA-cam... and not just because you're in one of the best cities in the world! I can't believe how well you managed to capture what surely must have been a very stressful situation. (For the record, I agree with Jordan that Emily should have waited... with the caveat that, before doubling back, he should also have waited a moment once he got off to see if Emily was on the next bus.) BTW, if you're still in BsAs and can read Spanish, I highly recommend the numismatic museum at the Central Bank. (You'll have to go through security, but it's free and the staff is super friendly because I don't think they see a lot of foreign visitors.)

    There's actually a special rate for payments by foreign cards. It's called the MEP rate and is only slightly worse than the blue dollar rate. First the money is taken from your account according to the official bank rate and then you get a refund a few days later. So the entrance fee would have been around 5 dollars each, not 20.

The quality and content of your posts is amazing, push on and keep going for all of us who are vicariously living through your travels.
    We had a similar experience in London, we both ran down the stairs and onto the platform to take the 'tube' back to our hotel, my husband jumped onto the train already standing there but I didn't think it was the right one so I stopped on the platform, he had the backpack with the phones, wallet etc ... I think the guard must've noticed because it didn't take off until he'd hopped back off. We often think about what we would've done if he had've disappeared into the distance.

    May I suggest taking a Tren de la Costa ride to the Tigre Delta - and then a boat tour (which should include the art museum). You'd need to take the D subway to the Carranza station, and from there a northbound train to the Mitre station in Olivos.

      It seems to make sense, but in Buenos Aires, due to one way streets, buses do not necessarily return the same way, and you may end up three blocks from where you started. It is better to go off the bus at the next stop and wait for your partner

      @alfredokress4936 yes with the bus I would just get off at the next stop and walk back but we were on the subway so very easy to just circle back at most stops, I guess te other variable is we are using a single sube card so that could change things depending on who had the card on them at the time

    Im pretty sure someone already said this, but that place is so colorful due the fact that it was a very poor neighboorhood, and it was very close to the port. So people used to buy very cheap paint from the fishing boats, and ship colors are mostly very colorful.

    She's from an old comic here, she's very loved. Written by Quino, she's a child that's extremely passionate about politics and stuff it's a really enjoyable comic and it has a lot of commentary on the state of the country, the world, and the views on topics of democracy, freedom, humanity and stereotypes. I don't have a lot of memories, so I'll reread it now that i have more understanding on the topics it deals with jsjsjs

    Conventillos we're so crowded at one point that people would literally sleep standing up and held between the wall and a rope (or rest, I can't imagine sleeping like this). And the different colours used to paint the buildings in La Boca are because it was a lower class, mostly immigrant neighborhood, and the would paint their houses with any paint they could find, even if they had to use different cans of different colours.

He went and said to her you have to stop you left my wife behind so she eventually pulled over and let him off and he walked back to us.

    I think the rule if you get separated is to return to the last place you were in a group. Jordan left Emily, he should return where they were separated.
    La Boca is not the birthplace of Tango, which was a dance of the low level neighbourhoods. La Boca (literally "the mouth" of the little river (el Riachuelo) was inhabitad specially from italian inmigrants, most specifically from Genoa, many of them with knowledge of maritime affairs and therefore worked in the port of Buenos Aires. They took the remnants of the paint used for mantainance of the ships. They used that paint for their houses and therefore when they ended one color they followed with another. That's the reason of the colorful houses.
    Yes. Conventillo is de diminutive of "convento" =convent. In 1872 there was a yellow fever pandemic in the city. The posh families lived south of Plaza de Mayo y the zone of San Telmo-La Boca. The scientist beleived that the yellow fever was caused by infectious airs of the lowlands near the Riachuelo (not bad, it was caused by the mosquito anofeles which grows in waterlands). The posh families moved to higher grounds to the north in the San Nicolás/Retiro/Recoleta neighbourhouds which had higher grounds. The inmigrants rented rooms in the abandoned houses, sharing bathrooms and kitchents. These amassed people made of families living in one room helped to melt all nationalities, cuisine, traditions of the inmigrants. Argentina is one of the few countries without racial or religious unrest. We have a very big comunity of jews and also a muslim one, but they live in harmony. Pope Francis, former achibishop of Buenos Aires held ecumenic prayers where catholic, protestants, jews and muslim chiefs prayed together in the Cathedral, main synagoge or other temples of the other religions.
    The bar of chocolate in the submarino does not float, it sinks. It's the submarine in the "submarino". You stir the hot milk till the chocolate complety melts in the glass (it's a special glass held in a metal little cup to be able to lift the hot glass) and drink it.
    The main inmigration in Argentina is from Italy, second Spain. Buth in the ende of XIX century french culture and architecture were considered the best. Every rich family brought architects and materials from France to build their mansions. Now most of those mansions are public buildings, clubs, embassies or residences of ambassadors of different countries. For example in Avenida Alvear you start with the French Embassy, The Duahu house wich is the top level of a hotel, the Jockey Club and the residence of the Brazilian ambassador, all around a little square with a nice monument with bronze statues in Cerrito St and Alvear Avenue.
    Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by important buildings like Casa Rosada (President of Argentina), Banco Nación Argentina (National Bank), Other banks (you should enter to see the unbelivable decoration in the halls), the Cathedral (catholic) where is the tomb of the main national hero San Martín, the City Hall (of the city government), the Cabildo (colonial city hall), and other public buildings. The Plaza de Mayo is for demonstrations. The celebrations of sport championships are usually held around the Obelisco, which can be seen on the other end of the north diagonal avenue that start in Plaza de Mayo.
