Trip to Iguazú & Buenos Aires by Steve

Almost a week, I’ve backed from the 9 days trip of AFS.
So, Let’s continue my journey right here~

Day 1 (20/may) Leaving Roca

I was leaving my town, Roca, to Buenos Aires (Capital of Argentina) at night, and met ‘Sapo’, Ziggy, Mari, Frida firstly on the bus.

(pier in Barrio Boca)

Day 2 Arriving Buenos Aires & a smart decision

Simon(another exchange student in Roca who joined the trip also) and we decided to have a triple room that mean there would be 1 more exchange student sharing the room with us, It could be a completely stranger.
And yes, we met our new friend from Germany, Julius. He’s also a exchange student from AFS but we’d never met each other before.

THAT’S our awesome starting!

City Tour…

Main street of the capital


Day 3 City Adventure

In the morning, I did a super adventure with Simon and Julius in the Capital.
Visiting Puerto Madero in raining

several good architectures

nice weather made photos

Just a while later of that, we got to start our 20 hours bus travelling to Puerto Iguazú. I had met Kwan, a girl from Thailand who’s 25% Chinese. We were having a long long lo…ng talk like 5 hours, It was really nice ‘cause she knew plenty of Hong Kong! And I’d quite surprised by her satisfied Chinese, even there’re some hilarious mistakes. Btw there’s also a Japanese in the trip with us, Masan, from Ichi. However, 3 Asians from 3 different countries, Spanish was the only common language we speak… hahaha

Day 4 Northern Misiones

On day 4, we visited Mina de Wandas, San Ignacios with heavy raining, unlike the typical weather in south America, that wasn’t a sunny day, but kinda to Hong Kong climate, moistly, cool.

While Simon, Julius and I were walking from hotel to the center without any clues, luckily we met a typical helpful south American , he introduced us the main streets, the center, the bar, even the hospital.

Day 5 Accident

In the morning, we travelled with a guide at the Iguazú National Park, we walked the entire morning. Beside, the best of that day would be the safari, we had crashed and got wet right under a waterfall, that’s was so cool! WATERFALL!!! that’s why I was there!
On the way to Safari…
What I shot on the boat:

<- look the orange boat, that’s exactly how we got in the waterfall, and I was in the first row ! the best photo I took in Iguazú

this is the biggest waterfall in the world !

Border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay

and we met some orphans were singing over there, life suck..

At night, everyone was going to Brazil to watch a show of Murata(sexy dancing) except those from USA, HK, China and Japan, ‘cause we couldn’t pass without visa… Maybe they hate superpowers…

So, I planed to go to the town center with my American friends, but we met an accident while I was tying my shoe, a motor crashed to a car, then the motor drive was flew over the car, and landed only 2 steps from my back. Beside fearless, I learned how close of the death…

Rest of days: revisiting & super shopping

and I took a photo with Messi and Maradona!

Lastly, I wrote in English ‘cause I want to share about my trip with more people, e.g. my friends all over the world. I don’t know if I’ll keep writing in English but I’d sure this blog will be updated with tons of pictures all the time! So, please Subscribe me!

Next trip would be Ski in Bariloche!! wowow!!
