Argentinian impressions

Here some first impressions of the 'chaos' in Argentina:

1) Why is driving the public bus difficult in Buenos Aires (especially for Germans)?
  • E.g., there is one line 57 (to my school), but this line 57 had 20 different routes, of which you can only use 2
  • There are no timetables - you just go to the stop and wait until the bus comes
  • There is no overview of the exact stops (not in the Internet, not outside nor inside the bus). For getting to school, I need 50 minutes by bus - after 40 minutes you just start asking the bus driver or the people around you when you arrive at a stop close to University de Austral.
  • Yet, I have to say it is a fantastic bus system - you get nearly everywhere in the city!!!
2) Why is it always wet on the pathways, even if it did not rain?
  • Because the housekeepers are cleaning away the dog's poo from the street every morning
3) Why is taking the subte in the morning or afternoon (rush hour) a bad idea?
  • You cannot enter the train, it is so crowded, there is no space at all - similar to the trains coming from the suburbs to Cologne at Karneval.
But, AMAAAAZING - wherever you are - people help you and take care that you get along. :-)
