2 Months in BA

Wow, I can't believe I'll have been in Argentina for 8 weeks tomorrow. The time has been flying! Buenos Aires is enormous, and one of the best things about it is that there is always something new to do. The only annoying thing is that it can take FOREVER to get there, depending upon whether you take the Subte, the bus, or a cab.
On the transportation note, everyone has to use monedas, or coins, to ride the bus. The problem with this, besides that fact that I find carrying change annoying, is that there is a moneda crisis, and everyone is hoarding the monedas! Businesses will literally not give you back change to keep monedas, and I'm always asked, "Do you have 20 cents?" and have to lie and say no because I need my monedas! I have found that the Subte and Asian grocery stores are really good places to get them, but it seems ridiculous. You'd think the government would change the system.
One thing that surprised me was that although BA is huge, there aren't that many skyscrapers. The buildings are about the same height, except for in the Microcenter, or financial district, and go on for miles. Apparently this is because there used to be a law that no building could be taller than this oblelisk monument in the city center, so all the buildings are just a little bit shorter than that.
About the food: I think every restaurant here has the same menu. There is the cafeteria stuff (aka coffee, hot chocolate, tea, croissants), sandwiches, pasta, pizza, bife (steak), and salads (which consist of lettuce, tomato, egg, and shredded carrot in there most complex form). It is so weird! We went to an Armenian place with belly dancing last night, and in addition to the Middle Eastern cuisine was the stereotypical cafeteria, pasta, sandwich etc. menu! The meat is great here (its what Argentina is famous for) and hopefully I'll be going to an "asado" or Argentine barbeque later today to celebrate a Brazilian friend's birthday.
I'll keep you updated!
