Gringo Power

So Sabado Noche soon came around... and well it would be rude not to go clubbing again, a group of us from the hostel headed out to a bar at around 10 or 11pm of course, via the Super-Pancho hotdog kiosk. 1.25 pesos for a superpancho, thats er 20p or something. Then onto the bar where someone follishly ordered two bottles of bad wine. Still, we couldnt´t let it go to waste, so we finished those off, some cheeky vodkas and piled 5 big gringos into a taxi towards one of the super clubs Opera-Bay. So Saturday night, 2am club is looking rather popular with enourmous queues. So time for some Gringo-Power. "Hi we are foreign, can we jump the queue please?" A few seconds later we were being whisked towards the entrance. After initially assuming it was just our outright attractiveness that got us in, the reality dawned, that although the locals could just about stump up the 30peso entrance fee, they couldnt really afford to buy the drinks like the westerners could. It was 7pesos, for a beer compared to 1 or 2 somewhere else. The club was rather bling, and worth checking out if you ever happen to be in San Telmo district and are stuck for something to do!

Sunday needless to say, was a right-off.

Sounds like your previous IDT training is standing you in good stead - although it sounds like its a bit cheaper than that Brandy you stiched me for in Istanbull!
So - apart from the bars - how are you enjoying the culture?
