Opera Bay and El Cemeterio de Recoleta

We went to see Evita´s grave yesterday. It was okay I guess. But the cemetery itself was breathtaking. It reminds me of Sicily once again. It was all mausoleums... and only the very wealthy get buried here. It´s crazy though because the caskets in many of them don´t go underground or unseen... you can see them right through the glass doors! There were also some walls where the caskets were put in, but because of age and time I guess, the concrete caved in, so again you can see caskets in them. The statues were amazing, very dramatic. I have really great pics... that one day you may all be able to see!

Opera Bay is a club. Wednesday night is the after work party, kind of like happy hour..except of course it doesn´t start till 9pm. It was awful. These guys have no game!!! Seriously... one guy came up to me and was talking about my eyes... blah blah blah... then told me to kiss him! When I wouldn´t he said okay have fun and walked away... and on to his next victim. The guys grab, grab, grab... and make the worst passes at you. I don´t understand how this can work for them?! Going to the bathroom was like a video game... how many guys can you dodge... my biggest piece of advise is don´t make eye contact!!! Also, the guys here don´t buy you drinks and have no qualms about coming up to you and asking YOU for a sip of your drink... what in the world makes them think that is okay?! I would love to hear an Argentine woman´s perspective on this!!! The place was modeled after the Sydney Opera house... it is huge and had an 80´s room, a 90´s room (so much fun!) and techno outside by the pool. I will never go back here. It was the first time I have ever not liked something about BsAs. How does one meet a guy here? Very curious...
