Buenos Aires is a shoppers paradise, there are streets and streets full of shops with little of the repetitive chain store influences we are so used to at home. There's even a Harrods department store, even if it's not quite the same thing. Womens clothing seems to be the major theme, which whilst expensive is unlikely to find you in the same dress as the bosses wife at dinner. The Argentinians like to eat late, go to a restaurant for dinner at 8 and you'll have the place to yourself. By the time you're settling the bill at 10 the place will be starting to fill up and sitting down for a big meal at midnight is not unusual. There is a wealth of restaurants in the city, but be sure to try one of the large Barbeque type places which feature a large charcoal bonfire surrounded by racks of roasting meat in the window. Therein lies the rub, Buenos Aires is not the place to go if you are vegetarian, they like their meat here, be it beef, pork, lamb or goat. Be very wary, however, of ordering a mixed grill as this tends not to contain bits of different animals but rather different bits of the same animal. Unfortunately in this instance they do provide english menus which will enable you to complete your bovine anatomy lesson. Must see's include the tomb of Eva Peron, which takes some finding in the cramped cemetary, but is worth the walk on a sunny day. The actual tomb is something of an anti-climax, but the flowers and open displays of affection you'll find there are very moving.
