Today was our first day in Buenos Aires, Argentina after a long journey from Pittsburgh and a delay in Atlanta. While waiting for our flight in Atlanta, we met a sweet couple from Argentina who told us a lot about what we were going to be seeing and about some places that we definitely should not miss out on. One thing that was different from what we had previously learned was that Uber is actually illegal in Argentina but still widely used by the younger population. The husband was also a physician who has practiced in the United States and in Argentina, so it was interesting to learn about his perspective of the healthcare system. After landing in Argentina, its similarities to the Indian airport in Chennai stood out to me immediately even though the city was fairly different. The amount of European influence on the city also stood out to me, as I was surprised to see the number of pizzerias and Italian restaurants located downtown. For lunch, we were taken to one of these restaurants and it was surprising to see empanadas on the same menu as various traditional Italian pasta dishes. While talking to the CAPA tour guide, she told us that there used to be many immigrants from Europe, but the recent new immigration trend is from China and Venezuela. Our CAPA guide also told me that there is little to no immigration from India and shortly after I was asked if I was Brazilian while waiting on the side of the street. During the ride from the airport to Recoleta, the area where we are staying, the differences in architecture and condition of living was very apparent. The city was also much quieter than I expected and lots of stores were closed; since Argentina is a very Catholic country a lot of stores and businesses are closed on Sundays. Overall, the city is so cute and it was an exciting first day even though our walking tour got cut short because of our flight delays. The buildings and their architecture are so interesting to walk by and I love being able to see all the cafés and boutiques in Recoleta.
