On a lighter note, we were all vastly amused by the fact that the Bush girls have been in Buenos Aires for the past three weeks, and are in all probability, still here. They were spotted in San Telmo, off of Plaza Dorrego, an area we're all very familiar with since it's less than two blocks from our architecture project site. The other sighting of the Jenna and Barbara was at a Boca game, so they must really be getting into the local culture.
Speaking of local culture, one thing I still cannot understand is Porteno obsession with the 80's. From the ubiquitous mullet, to the clothes, to the 80's music everywhere, these people are crazy about that decade for reasons unknown. Maybe its just vouge, but Aldo was telling me that other south American countries are also into the 80s music from the US.

80's in BA: don't forget the preppy sweater tied around the shoulders look. And the bum bag/ fanny pack phenomenon that hasn't died here.
Long live the mullet - don't knock it until you've tried it! :)
It BA it has a whole different context around it - in the US and the UK, ridicule; in Argentina, instant respect!
The best thing about the 80s is that was when you and Taylor were born.
