Ah, the delightful, not-at-all-nauseating sounds of young couples in love! Along with honking horns and buses rumbling down cobblestone streets, the wet, sploshy sound of tongues exploring throats adds another note to the grand Buenos Aires symphony.

So many people and cultures from all around the globe have established a strong presence here... the Bolivian neighborhoods of Liniers, Chinatown in Belgrano, the Italian heritage in La Boca, and Once with its Jewish population are just some of them. There's even a Valencian community which celebrates Fallas in Buenos Aires!

The mare's name was "Kill Me Now". Without a doubt, this was the horse I would be betting on.
Hello boys and girls, and welcome to Belgrano "R". Let's play a game! Everyone think of an "R"-word that describes this lovely neighborhood!
The geographic center of Buenos Aires is Caballito, a charming neighborhood with large green spaces, and well served by the Subte.
