I never had the pleasure of experiencing the ‘Paris of South America’ before the economic crash, but even as a city now in the midst of recovery, there is still a pervading air of confidence in the local population. The beautiful locals strut about like there is not a care in the world and despite economic hardship, the younger generation still parties like there is no tomorrow. So, as a foreign visitor to Buenos Aires, I often ask myself, “where does this confidence come from??” [...] [...] Buenos Aires is a city brimming with confidence.

And the fashion sense of the local Porteños is truly European, and in many respects more cutting-edge. Designs of clubs, bars and restaurants put London and New York to shame. Architecture in Puerto Madero, in particular, is as revolutionary as other dockland redevelopments in some of world’s major cities. And – here is the clincher – many young Porteños have lifestyles unimaginable to most Westerners. There is, of course, an enormous tide of poverty within Argentina, though it is so far removed from the lifestyles of these young Porteños that it’s hard to fathom that they coexist.

The plan was to learn some Spanish and to get to know the Buenos Aires’ nightlife intimately. The most logical place to begin a search for accommodations (short-term or long-term) is, naturally, a real-estate agent. And lo and behold, there are several scattered about the streets of Palermo Viejo with appealing photos of apartments on their windows. I am adept at dealing with real estate agents in my home country (I believe that the attitude ‘never falter’ springs to mind). However, I was just about to learn a few lessons in the art of negotiating an apartment, Latin-American style.

Buenos Aires has often been referred to as a Circadian Rhythm nightmare for foreigners who are accustomed to bars closing around 2 am. Most bars and clubs really don’t get going until the wee hours of the morning here, and you may find yourself frustrated by your body’s inability to sleep when you will it to after three weekend nights out until 7 am. Enter Office Hour, the Porteño counterpart to “Happy Hour” in the States. You get to enjoy the bar/club scene for a full five hours, including free cover (before 8:30 pm), AND manage eight hours of sleep, while still waking up early enough the following day to make the most of the sunlight. If that’s not enough of an argument to partake in Opera Bay’s Wednesday night festivities, consider the extremely good-looking clientele looking to work off some stress from the office with a cold Iguana on the dance floor.
