Cabillito

CABALLITO

In Buenos Aires there is a barrio or neighbourhood, which although it is a bit away from the centre of the city has, thanks to its beautiful buildings, sufficient character of its own to be taken into account at the moment of choosing lodgings. Specifically if and when we are talking about longer stays.

Caballito is in many respects very similar to the residential district of Belgrano, located in the central eastern part of the city. It lacks nothing and has nothing to envy any other part of town in regards to services. To stay or live in Caballito is an attractive option for anyone.
Its tree shaded Avenidas and streets is the perfect frame for its old well conserved patrician apartment buildings that have been totally renovated in order to offer all modern comforts to those new generation that live in them today.

The Avenida Pedro Goyena and the streets that cross it make up the heart of the best residential area in Caballito. Puán, Miró, Emilio Mitre and Víctor Martínez are but a few of the neighbouring beautiful streets. The Avenida Rivadavia offers a very fluid connection with the central parts of the city and is also one of the main commercial streets in the city.

To get to Caballito one can use one of the "colectivos" from the port part of the city, or else the Underground or subway on Avenida Rivadavia or else also the rail tram of the Sarmiento line.

Amanda Unboomed...

¨Hello and good friday...¨ is still on Rocketboom.

The internet´s most popular video blog is going through some changes and while it is mostly 3 minutes of nonsense, its wacky antics will be missed. Today, they wrote a message, to quote here... *** monday 7_17 is rendering, ETA: 10:15 am EST *** This is BAD news. I think perhaps they are losing thousand of viewers today as last week most viewers gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps some will trickle over to my new audio blog, Write after the boom

1. Amanda (Rocketboom) unboomed like Fonzi jumped the shark. While the actor that played the fonz went on to have a career, the show, happy days died. When a show "unbooms" I think that this could find its way into the Global lexicon, I may have to consult Bill Bryson or your comments for that one, but I think it works. What do you say?

Amanda unboomed... what will happen now¿, is she the show, is that other guy (Andrew, the creator)? We can only wait. And I selfishly do not want to wait anymore today, well the real reason is that I have to go to work for 10 hours.

I used to write this before 9am, so that I would have time to catch The Boom everyday after my post, it´s easier on my sleeping schedule and I can comment on the show, their insight, and tags.

All this because as of today, I see that I will have to wait, sometimes for a few days, and sometimes for a mere hour and half, perhaps the show will flounder and fail, in any case, I will now blog write after the boom.

...after Amanda unboomed
...after the other guys post´s stuff
...after the biggest vlog in history jumped the shark
...after the internal explosion at rocketboom
...right after the boom
