I am now in the south of Argentina, in Bariloche, the famous Patagonia; which is amazing. Now I need some ideas about what activities to do in Buenas Aires. Any comment or tip will be more than welcomed

Downtown has many things to offer such as places to buy gifts, malls or theaters. In Buenos Aires you cannot miss the "parilla" restaurants that are the ones who offer bbq. Argentinian food is fabulous. Then you cannot miss the Tango shows which are shown in San Telmo are and downtown.
Cheer up!

when will people stop raging about the quality of food in bs as? yes the steaks are good but not THAT GOOD. in my opinion they are over salted at its difficult to get them to cook it to the taste of the customer. for example- when was the last time you managed to get your steak still bleeding, in my opinion the way it should come. in bs as never. my spanish isnt great but the waiter undestood when i asked for it 'con sangra' and what kept turning up was somewhere between medium and annihilated. admittedly there are some all you can eat places which offer good value and reasonable quality but not to the extent of claiming bs as to be at the forfront of world cuisine. yes it beats bolivia for food but lets not get carried away. we think its great because its stupidly cheap compared to europe and the states not because it has significant quality.
'the best argentine steak ive had has been in an upmarket place in arequipa peru where they cooked it to perfection 'oozing blood and without half the salt production of uyuni'.
one more thing......

where are the vegetables, where is the balance, when you eat several pounds of steak every night at midnight thus not giving your system any chance to digest without complimentary produce it is not in the least bit healthy. i sometimes felt like a cow had been shoved down my throat.......

had enough....

bs as is ok! i had a great time for two weeks.other people seem to 'stuck' for longer. basically it involved drinking and getting blown out by the locals. all good fun........but i still dont get the hype!

as i expressed in a previous interlude.
GO TO SALTA!!!!!!!!!!!
