For the bus situation would have to side with Jordan. With that option at least he would know where you are and come back and meet up with you. With Emily getting on the next bus it makes finding each other harder.
Hi guys! We are the tango dancers who appear in the video, Rodrigo and Valentina! A friend sent us his blog! We are very happy to hear that you liked the tango so much. It was a pleasure for us to be able to share our culture with you. Next time we'll give you a tango class! Big hug from Buenos Aires to Australia ❤
Wow! We're so glad your friend sent you the video! It was so great to see you both dance well be sure to let you know when we come back for a tango lesson! 💃 🕺
Three tips in Buenos Aires for tourists in Buenos Aires : 1- You go inside the bus by the front and never by the back and that's why the bus driver didn't see you going inside 2-When you have a problem just ask people ( Emily was inteligent to stay in the cafe ) because the most people in Buenos Aires would do anything to help you even when they cannot understand you. 3-Do not use your credit card too much because the exchange rate is not good The best is using cash and so use Western Union as the way to get it. There are many tourists in the internet explaining how it works with WU ) BA is a very big city but it's the first time I see tourists so confused with the directions Anyway I loved that you guys took it so cool Buenos Aires is also a place to chill and ENJOY and you did it great until now !!! 👍
Amazing!! We were confused by this because we were initially at the front door but the bus driver gestured to the back so we headed to that door instead! Yes, she was so lovely to look after me while I was waiting 😅 Thank you so much!
@@JordanandEmily That bus line has pretty good schedule. If he didnt open the front door and point you to the back just mean "TAKE THE NEXT BUS". Is super normal, so the first bus dont get full and then multiple buses of the same line didnt get together to the bus stops with the first being full. The back doors on buses are only to descend, never to go up. The driver was not being reckless or bad, because you only supposed to go in the front. You can go practically everywhere in buenos aires just with buses. there are almost 500 different bus lines between buenos aires and gran buenos aires.
@@JordanandEmily yeah he probably meant to take the next bus because it was running late and the next one was almost there, people from Buenos Aires would understand it but obviously not you, he didnt realize you were foreigners. And then he wasnt expecting for anyone to come up through the back doors so just took off as soon as he saw everybody got down.
AWESOME place , just got back to Toronto from a 12 day vacation. Super friendly people tons of book stores open till very late restaurants everywhere,many theatres -cinemas in the theatre district surrounded by pizerias, restaurants etc and people very willing to help you out when you are lost: in the city-) This was my 2nd time there and I will definitely keep going back. Despite the finacial challenges people are facing they remain friendly and helpful.
The rear doors are for exit only, that's why the driver started without waiting for you. The card reader is only by the front door. I'm glad you still got to enjoy your day despite the rocky start 😅
Hahaha we knew that! It's the same in Adelaide but we were waiting at the front doors and he didn't open them! Instead he pointed backwards.. we thought he meant back door but I think he meant take the next bus for some reason haha
@@JordanandEmily Hahha yes! Ff a bus driver points backwards that means: "take the next bus". There are some hand gestures in Argentina you better get use to :)
I still remember the FaceTime call we had about this little mishap, talk about stressing your mother out. Do you remember what we agreed on with what to do in future if this happens again. The one who didn’t get on the bus/train stays put & the other goes back to where you were!! Apart from that little hiccup, it looked like a fantastic day. My favourite bit was the tango dancers, I could’ve sat there and watched them all day. She looked beautiful & they made the dance look easy. A very vibrant city with so many markets, I do love a market. Love you both, mum.xx

SUBE card stands for "Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico" (Unified System of Electronic Tickets). But it's also a pun, because "sube" is Spanish for "get on" (the train/bus/whatever).
There's actually a special rate for payments by foreign cards. It's called the MEP rate and is only slightly worse than the blue dollar rate. First the money is taken from your account according to the official bank rate and then you get a refund a few days later. So the entrance fee would have been around 5 dollars each, not 20.
Well after the little mishap of earlier, you had a lovely day exploring. Lovely coloured buildings and so much to see just wandering around my kind of day. Thanks
SOLD! What a fabulous city… was hoping you two would sign up for tango lessons😉 Food looks incredible, as does the architecture. Looking forward to the next one.
Still here? Go to the milonga of the CCK, thursday's night. Its free, AND has a cool mix of people (youll find old n young n straight n queer n porteños n foringers). the building its amaizing, its the big one next to the Alem station.
Did you go near the River Plate stadium, where in 2009 AC/DC played that crazy packed concert? If you never seen any video from that concert, there's lots on TH-cam and it's wild.

Hi, Emily and Jordan: May I suggest taking a Tren de la Costa ride to the Tigre Delta - and then a boat tour (which should include the art museum). You'd need to take the D subway to the Carranza station, and from there a northbound train to the Mitre station in Olivos. All the Best!
Ahahaha, this has got to be one of the best travel vlogs on all of TH-cam... and not just because you're in one of the best cities in the world! I can't believe how well you managed to capture what surely must have been a very stressful situation. (For the record, I agree with Jordan that Emily should have waited... with the caveat that, before doubling back, he should also have waited a moment once he got off to see if Emily was on the next bus.) BTW, if you're still in BsAs and can read Spanish, I highly recommend the numismatic museum at the Central Bank. (You'll have to go through security, but it's free and the staff is super friendly because I don't think they see a lot of foreign visitors.)
I think this is the best solution we've had so far! It makes sense for the person to wait at the next stop for a little before heading back! Thanks so much for your compliments, they really mean a lot! 😊
Guys , hurry back. B.A have everything , museums, cinemas, geat parks , pizzerias, theatres , notables bars , very statues , the architecture wirh europeans reminiscences , a amazing nightlife , the 9 of july avenue , the widest in the world , the Rosedal of Pslermo a place full of many flowers and a lake to navigate . You won't be bored here , we are waiting for you in this magical city . You are going to fall in love of B.A . Bring many more friends. ❤😅
Thanks so much for the great work you guys are doing, we so look forward to watching your videos ... binge watched all of them from the start and are now caught up! The quality and content of your posts is amazing, push on and keep going for all of us who are vicariously living through your travels. We had a similar experience in London, we both ran down the stairs and onto the platform to take the 'tube' back to our hotel, my husband jumped onto the train already standing there but I didn't think it was the right one so I stopped on the platform, he had the backpack with the phones, wallet etc ... I think the guard must've noticed because it didn't take off until he'd hopped back off. We often think about what we would've done if he had've disappeared into the distance. Also ... thanks for your recommendation in the newsletter about the podcast Sports Bizarre, my husband loves it!!
Thanks so much for this comment and for watching along (and going back to catch up, that's crazy!!) We're so glad you're husband got onto sports bizarre! Such a good little podcast 😄
My wife and I are currently in Buenos Aires and almost did not make it on to the subte together...our agreement is if we get separated in that instance, the one whom gets left behind stays put and the othe just circles back...that makes it much easier to locate them ...😊
It seems to make sense, but in Buenos Aires, due to one way streets, buses do not necessarily return the same way, and you may end up three blocks from where you started. It is better to go off the bus at the next stop and wait for your partner
@alfredokress4936 yes with the bus I would just get off at the next stop and walk back but we were on the subway so very easy to just circle back at most stops, I guess te other variable is we are using a single sube card so that could change things depending on who had the card on them at the time
Jordon is right. That’s the plan we have when travelling one stay and the other come back. But we now travel with having esim on the phone, so can contact each other anywhere.
Chicos con el sute B y el colectivo 33 de cualquier ramal en una hora estan en la Boca desde Villa Urquiza , les doy la opcion mas rapida, pero hay varias. me encanto el vídeo.
hola chicos el colectivo cierra las puertas siempre, una porque lleva aire o calefaccion segun la estacion del año y otra para que no pase ningun accidente.. porque en Argentina si vas apurado no importa vez la puerta abierta y te subis o bajas del colectivo en movmiento .. tipicos accidentes de nuestra amada nacion.. vi que anduvieron por mi barrio espero les alla gustado LA BOCA
So beautiful couple! I really enjoy watching your videos... Thank you so much for talking so good about our country. Also, thank you for showing us things we don't pay attentions about our place. I'm not sure if I'm writing this right because my English is work in progress... But I want to show how glad I'm with you guys ♡ thanks for creating this kind of videos ♡
You have to enter the bus by the front door so the driver can see you, and you can pay. Entering by the back door is not allowed, that's used only for people leaving the bus. 😅
Ah! We were confused because he didn’t open the front door for us at all and gestured backwards so we took that to mean use the back door but our mistake!
Jordan for sure. Stay put. Started watching your videos for my upcoming Bolivia trip and now watching all South America:) you didn’t do San Pedro de atacama?
Hahahaha we didn’t get to atacama even though we were going to. We had a few visa issues we didn’t realise we’d have as Australians! We were so comfortable with visa on arrivals that we somehow forgot to check until the day before we were planning to enter Chile, turns out it’s a more challenging visa to get for us!
Most buses in Argentina stop every 2 blocks, the one that was left behind should stay put and the one ahead should walk back 2 blocks and find the person in the bus stop.
Watching from aside, it seems easy to know what to do in the public transport situation, but it was fun to watch your little unexpected adventure. I think one of the easiest way could have been Jordan getting of at the next stop
Conventillos we're so crowded at one point that people would literally sleep standing up and held between the wall and a rope (or rest, I can't imagine sleeping like this). And the different colours used to paint the buildings in La Boca are because it was a lower class, mostly immigrant neighborhood, and the would paint their houses with any paint they could find, even if they had to use different cans of different colours.
El tema de los diferentes colores de pintura es porque la mayoría de los que vivían eran marinos y usaban los restos de las pinturas de los barcos .Un abrazo
You are doing the typical foreign tour. What you saw in the video is only a part of Argentina, that is only the citizen life of Buenos Aires, or as we call it "Porteños". Muy buen video! ⭐⭐⭐
Im pretty sure someone already said this, but that place is so colorful due the fact that it was a very poor neighboorhood, and it was very close to the port. So people used to buy very cheap paint from the fishing boats, and ship colors are mostly very colorful.
I loved your video. I am going to BA soon and have the same worry about loosing each other. What app you have on your phone and does it only work with wifi? In Australia no sim card seem to be useable in Argentina. Do you recommend us to buy from a local shop there?
The maroma (the rope thing) was not a hammock, it was a literal rope that immigrant italians living in La Boca used to tie between two walls... they used to put their armpits on the rope and sleep like... hanging. The worst part: it wasn't free, you had to pay in order to sleep there.... lol. I guess it's better than sleeping outside haha
I think the rule if you get separated is to return to the last place you were in a group. Jordan left Emily, he should return where they were separated. La Boca is not the birthplace of Tango, which was a dance of the low level neighbourhoods. La Boca (literally "the mouth" of the little river (el Riachuelo) was inhabitad specially from italian inmigrants, most specifically from Genoa, many of them with knowledge of maritime affairs and therefore worked in the port of Buenos Aires. They took the remnants of the paint used for mantainance of the ships. They used that paint for their houses and therefore when they ended one color they followed with another. That's the reason of the colorful houses. Yes. Conventillo is de diminutive of "convento" =convent. In 1872 there was a yellow fever pandemic in the city. The posh families lived south of Plaza de Mayo y the zone of San Telmo-La Boca. The scientist beleived that the yellow fever was caused by infectious airs of the lowlands near the Riachuelo (not bad, it was caused by the mosquito anofeles which grows in waterlands). The posh families moved to higher grounds to the north in the San Nicolás/Retiro/Recoleta neighbourhouds which had higher grounds. The inmigrants rented rooms in the abandoned houses, sharing bathrooms and kitchents. These amassed people made of families living in one room helped to melt all nationalities, cuisine, traditions of the inmigrants. Argentina is one of the few countries without racial or religious unrest. We have a very big comunity of jews and also a muslim one, but they live in harmony. Pope Francis, former achibishop of Buenos Aires held ecumenic prayers where catholic, protestants, jews and muslim chiefs prayed together in the Cathedral, main synagoge or other temples of the other religions. The bar of chocolate in the submarino does not float, it sinks. It's the submarine in the "submarino". You stir the hot milk till the chocolate complety melts in the glass (it's a special glass held in a metal little cup to be able to lift the hot glass) and drink it. The main inmigration in Argentina is from Italy, second Spain. Buth in the ende of XIX century french culture and architecture were considered the best. Every rich family brought architects and materials from France to build their mansions. Now most of those mansions are public buildings, clubs, embassies or residences of ambassadors of different countries. For example in Avenida Alvear you start with the French Embassy, The Duahu house wich is the top level of a hotel, the Jockey Club and the residence of the Brazilian ambassador, all around a little square with a nice monument with bronze statues in Cerrito St and Alvear Avenue. Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by important buildings like Casa Rosada (President of Argentina), Banco Nación Argentina (National Bank), Other banks (you should enter to see the unbelivable decoration in the halls), the Cathedral (catholic) where is the tomb of the main national hero San Martín, the City Hall (of the city government), the Cabildo (colonial city hall), and other public buildings. The Plaza de Mayo is for demonstrations. The celebrations of sport championships are usually held around the Obelisco, which can be seen on the other end of the north diagonal avenue that start in Plaza de Mayo.
From an Argentinian perspective I have to say that the majority of us don't know English so hearing someone talk to us in that language throws us off so much, so the translator plays a fundamental role here. 😂😂😂
We were in Paris, it was December and freezing cold, we were using the hop on and hop off bus to get around, day 2 we went to get on the bus we met up with a couple from the UK we had met the day before, the bus pulls up and there was a really grumpy woman driving, she told some people they couldn't get on because they had the wrong ticket, my husband jumped on the bus and she shut the door and left me and the other couple behind. He went and said to her you have to stop you left my wife behind so she eventually pulled over and let him off and he walked back to us.
That character is Mafalda, the main character of her own newspaper strip. Created in 1973, Mafalda's personality traits makes her pretty similar to Lisa Simpson, the sharp kid with acid yet innocent observations about the 'world of the grownups'.
@@JordanandEmily Well, in Argentina she's as popular as The Simpsons or Garfield (instead of Mondays, she hates soup). It's a recommended read, with lots of funny takes on daily life situations, sometimes mixed with last century's politics too, although some jokes may result hard to translate.
My advice and something we did as kids and something I have passed onto our children is that we make a plan if something where to go wrong you all meet at X place or X fountain at the end I would have done what Emily suggested Jordan get off at the immediate next stop and waited there. Also from someone that has been married 20 years Happy Wife Happy LIFE
the best way is down in the next stop and wait for the next bus, and don't worry, this type of situations can be more often than you think, cause the bus drivers sometimes are too hurry XD
My friend and I got separated in the tube in London. She didnt think it was the right train but i figured they would all go to the same place. The doors closed behind me and left her behind. Luckily she had told me we were going to Tottenham Court so I just got off there and waited for her. She was so mad at me though 😂 😂😂
Son geniales amigos Jordan and Emily , excelente trabajo, me suscribí a su canal, vinieron a Argentina mi País, besos y abrazos saludos cordiales!👍🙏🤝❤🌷💐🌹
Oh my gosh what an ordeal! I've always been taught as a child that you stay put, if something like that happens... and wait for the other person to loop around! At least you guys will know exactly what do to if (god forbid) this ever happens again!!
The correct solution would have been to hop off and wait for the next bus, but I can imagine the stress of being alone, in a developing country, with no data, in a big city, etc etc etc. But you seemed to manage it quite well haha
It's not a subte card per se, and SUBE does not stand for subterranean. SUBE stands for single electronic ticket system and it's for subways, regular trains, and short-distance buses. And btw, in that scenario... STAY PUT. That coffee shop looked cozy though, serendipity.
He was right, Emily shouldn't move not only because is the more sensical option, but adding to that, she hasn't data connection on her phone and as she told, she didn't even know where to get off. At the end, the lesson is, when going abroad with family NEVER be without cell data plan. It rare that the driver left someone behind with the bus not being full. Happy staying in BA
Hey guys, I'm Eduardo from Salta (Argentina). TH-cam recommended me your channel and I'm glad it did. I've watched a couple of videos and you both seem so nice and fun 🙂 There's another australian couple I follow on TH-cam (Slaiman and Kate) and Emily looks like Kate's cousin or something, they both look alike 😅 By the way, Emily has the most amazing eyes 👍 Anyway, hope you had fun in my country 🇦🇷 Now I'm about to watch your video in Santiago, Chile ▶️
Hi. Caminito is not the birthplace of tango. It's known because it was the inspiration of the homonym tango song composed in 1926 by Juan de Dios Filiberto (music) and Gabino Coria Peñaloza (lyrics), which is one of the most popular songs in tango history. The birthplace of tango is a topic still under debate among scholars.
Who's right!?
Like for Emily
Comment for Jordan!
Jordan was right ;)
Sorry, I think Emily was right. Not sure about the bus depo but a nice coffee place though. What a story though
Jordan must go find his princess
For the bus situation would have to side with Jordan. With that option at least he would know where you are and come back and meet up with you. With Emily getting on the next bus it makes finding each other harder.

Amazing video/information. My wife and I will be there at the beginning of next month. Thank you
Thats great! You'll have a great time, make sure you try as much food as possible 😄
You guys were in my borough (Villa Urquiza), the best in Caba. The B Line, is the most used subway line.
That's why it was so busy! 😄 such a cool neighborhood!

Oh my gosh - no way! She was incredible 🥰
Villa Urquiza is a great neighborhood to live in, very easy going and quiet (compared to most of the city)
It was lovely to stay in!
Stay put! So long as one person knows where the other is, it’ll be smooth

Jordon is right. That’s the plan we have when travelling one stay and the other come back. But we now travel with having esim on the phone, so can contact each other anywhere.
Thank you! 😊 I think we're in the minority somehow though haha

Chicos con el sute B y el colectivo 33 de cualquier ramal en una hora estan en la Boca desde Villa Urquiza , les doy la opcion mas rapida, pero hay varias. me encanto el vídeo.
Thank you ☺️
Recoleta cemetery is a must
Next time!
Son muy divertidos.... Vuelvan!!!!
😊
I love how they got lost but they though exactly the same thing. 'I am going to a coffee shop' 'she is going to a coffee shop'
😄
hola chicos el colectivo cierra las puertas siempre, una porque lleva aire o calefaccion segun la estacion del año y otra para que no pase ningun accidente.. porque en Argentina si vas apurado no importa vez la puerta abierta y te subis o bajas del colectivo en movmiento .. tipicos accidentes de nuestra amada nacion.. vi que anduvieron por mi barrio espero les alla gustado LA BOCA
Thanks for this! We loved it!
So beautiful couple! I really enjoy watching your videos... Thank you so much for talking so good about our country. Also, thank you for showing us things we don't pay attentions about our place.
I'm not sure if I'm writing this right because my English is work in progress... But I want to show how glad I'm with you guys ♡ thanks for creating this kind of videos ♡
Thank you so much!
Your English is great 👏
Thank you for having us in your awesome (and delicious) country 🇦🇷❤️
Greeting from Argentina!
thank you 👋
You have to enter the bus by the front door so the driver can see you, and you can pay.
Entering by the back door is not allowed, that's used only for people leaving the bus. 😅
Ah! We were confused because he didn’t open the front door for us at all and gestured backwards so we took that to mean use the back door but our mistake!
Jordan for sure. Stay put. Started watching your videos for my upcoming Bolivia trip and now watching all South America:) you didn’t do San Pedro de atacama?
Hahahaha we didn’t get to atacama even though we were going to. We had a few visa issues we didn’t realise we’d have as Australians! We were so comfortable with visa on arrivals that we somehow forgot to check until the day before we were planning to enter Chile, turns out it’s a more challenging visa to get for us!
Most buses in Argentina stop every 2 blocks, the one that was left behind should stay put and the one ahead should walk back 2 blocks and find the person in the bus stop.
Walking back is something neither of us considered 😄 good idea
Watching from aside, it seems easy to know what to do in the public transport situation, but it was fun to watch your little unexpected adventure. I think one of the easiest way could have been Jordan getting of at the next stop
😄
just a friendly FYI: Villa Urquiza, where you were staying, is pronounced "vee-sha oor-kee-sa" LOL that feels weird to write
Haha can imagine it was off to write but makes sense - thank you! ☺️
Conventillos we're so crowded at one point that people would literally sleep standing up and held between the wall and a rope (or rest, I can't imagine sleeping like this). And the different colours used to paint the buildings in La Boca are because it was a lower class, mostly immigrant neighborhood, and the would paint their houses with any paint they could find, even if they had to use different cans of different colours.
This is so interesting - I wish we knew this to include this in the video! thanks so much for providing that extra information!
El tema de los diferentes colores de pintura es porque la mayoría de los que vivían eran marinos y usaban los restos de las pinturas de los barcos .Un abrazo
You are doing the typical foreign tour. What you saw in the video is only a part of Argentina, that is only the citizen life of Buenos Aires, or as we call it "Porteños".
Muy buen video! ⭐⭐⭐
Yes a quick touristy tour for us! Hopefully next time we can see more
Stay put! Always!
haha yes!
Buen trabajo, muy buena edicion del video! saludos
Thank you!!
Im pretty sure someone already said this, but that place is so colorful due the fact that it was a very poor neighboorhood, and it was very close to the port. So people used to buy very cheap paint from the fishing boats, and ship colors are mostly very colorful.
Wow! Thanks for letting us know
I'm from Buenos Aires but I've been away for a year now, and I'm home sick. Damn I miss home so much. Nice video!
In Buenos Aires, there are police officers who speak English. There are police stations that are specifically for tourists.
I loved your video. I am going to BA soon and have the same worry about loosing each other. What app you have on your phone and does it only work with wifi? In Australia no sim card seem to be useable in Argentina. Do you recommend us to buy from a local shop there?
Hi there! Yeah just grab a sim card when you get to BA, any will do :) they're easy to connect and usually unlimited data
what app did you use to locate each other?
@@JordanandEmily
@@happytime9615 eventually we found wifi and shared location throigh Facebook messenger!
I'm with Emily ... hop off the next stop and she will see you :) Probably have a "back up" plan already worked out for next time ... 🤔😉
yes! We have a plan in place now 😅 hopefully won't need it though
I’m with Jordan.
Yyeeesss!! Thank you!
-Jordan
I hope you´r stay in our country will be delightful
Of course it will be 😀
The maroma (the rope thing) was not a hammock, it was a literal rope that immigrant italians living in La Boca used to tie between two walls... they used to put their armpits on the rope and sleep like... hanging. The worst part: it wasn't free, you had to pay in order to sleep there.... lol. I guess it's better than sleeping outside haha
That's so crazy! But your right. Much better than outside 😄
You should go to San Isidro the next time!!
Added to the list! 😂
Lovely couple!!
Thanks Suay! 😊
Bienvenidos 🍻🇦🇷💪
Gracious!!
The statue at the begining of video is Mafalda, an argentine comic character from 1960s
Thank you! 😊
Tip: when in argentina board the bus thru the front door. Welcome to Argentina ❤❤❤
Thanks for that! He didn't open the front for us haha so we were confused!
I think the rule if you get separated is to return to the last place you were in a group. Jordan left Emily, he should return where they were separated.
La Boca is not the birthplace of Tango, which was a dance of the low level neighbourhoods. La Boca (literally "the mouth" of the little river (el Riachuelo) was inhabitad specially from italian inmigrants, most specifically from Genoa, many of them with knowledge of maritime affairs and therefore worked in the port of Buenos Aires. They took the remnants of the paint used for mantainance of the ships. They used that paint for their houses and therefore when they ended one color they followed with another. That's the reason of the colorful houses.
Yes. Conventillo is de diminutive of "convento" =convent. In 1872 there was a yellow fever pandemic in the city. The posh families lived south of Plaza de Mayo y the zone of San Telmo-La Boca. The scientist beleived that the yellow fever was caused by infectious airs of the lowlands near the Riachuelo (not bad, it was caused by the mosquito anofeles which grows in waterlands). The posh families moved to higher grounds to the north in the San Nicolás/Retiro/Recoleta neighbourhouds which had higher grounds. The inmigrants rented rooms in the abandoned houses, sharing bathrooms and kitchents. These amassed people made of families living in one room helped to melt all nationalities, cuisine, traditions of the inmigrants. Argentina is one of the few countries without racial or religious unrest. We have a very big comunity of jews and also a muslim one, but they live in harmony. Pope Francis, former achibishop of Buenos Aires held ecumenic prayers where catholic, protestants, jews and muslim chiefs prayed together in the Cathedral, main synagoge or other temples of the other religions.
The bar of chocolate in the submarino does not float, it sinks. It's the submarine in the "submarino". You stir the hot milk till the chocolate complety melts in the glass (it's a special glass held in a metal little cup to be able to lift the hot glass) and drink it.
The main inmigration in Argentina is from Italy, second Spain. Buth in the ende of XIX century french culture and architecture were considered the best. Every rich family brought architects and materials from France to build their mansions. Now most of those mansions are public buildings, clubs, embassies or residences of ambassadors of different countries. For example in Avenida Alvear you start with the French Embassy, The Duahu house wich is the top level of a hotel, the Jockey Club and the residence of the Brazilian ambassador, all around a little square with a nice monument with bronze statues in Cerrito St and Alvear Avenue.
Plaza de Mayo is surrounded by important buildings like Casa Rosada (President of Argentina), Banco Nación Argentina (National Bank), Other banks (you should enter to see the unbelivable decoration in the halls), the Cathedral (catholic) where is the tomb of the main national hero San Martín, the City Hall (of the city government), the Cabildo (colonial city hall), and other public buildings. The Plaza de Mayo is for demonstrations. The celebrations of sport championships are usually held around the Obelisco, which can be seen on the other end of the north diagonal avenue that start in Plaza de Mayo.
Todos nos aburrimos a los tres renglones.
@@JoshuaPers Nadie te obliga a leer, pero tampoco es necesario que pongas un mensaje innecesario.
From an Argentinian perspective I have to say that the majority of us don't know English so hearing someone talk to us in that language throws us off so much, so the translator plays a fundamental role here. 😂😂😂
Haha
Emily tiene razón!! Emily was right!!
We were in Paris, it was December and freezing cold, we were using the hop on and hop off bus to get around, day 2 we went to get on the bus we met up with a couple from the UK we had met the day before, the bus pulls up and there was a really grumpy woman driving, she told some people they couldn't get on because they had the wrong ticket, my husband jumped on the bus and she shut the door and left me and the other couple behind. He went and said to her you have to stop you left my wife behind so she eventually pulled over and let him off and he walked back to us.
That's crazy! I guess it depends on how cranky the bus driver is hahaha
You arr really funny. Suscribed. Greetings from Argentina!
Awesome! Thank you!
That character is Mafalda, the main character of her own newspaper strip. Created in 1973, Mafalda's personality traits makes her pretty similar to Lisa Simpson, the sharp kid with acid yet innocent observations about the 'world of the grownups'.
Your the first one to answer that haha thank you so much! 😊 she was everywhere!
@@JordanandEmily Well, in Argentina she's as popular as The Simpsons or Garfield (instead of Mondays, she hates soup). It's a recommended read, with lots of funny takes on daily life situations, sometimes mixed with last century's politics too, although some jokes may result hard to translate.
Jordan, no tuviste miedo que te robaran los "faroles" (ojos) de tu compañera? ja ja ja Gracias por venir!!! Suerte!!!
😄 🤣
My advice and something we did as kids and something I have passed onto our children is that we make a plan if something where to go wrong you all meet at X place or X fountain at the end I would have done what Emily suggested Jordan get off at the immediate next stop and waited there. Also from someone that has been married 20 years Happy Wife Happy LIFE
We usually have a plan 😄 just not this time! Happy wife happy life are some of the truest words ever spoken haha
08:47 Danger! The signal of a gun
🤔
Australia is just as exotic, please do videos there.
We definitely will!! Multiple actually 😀
@@JordanandEmily yahoo
Stay with mum n dad, free rent and free food.
the best way is down in the next stop and wait for the next bus, and don't worry, this type of situations can be more often than you think, cause the bus drivers sometimes are too hurry XD
Such a hurry!
Love this vlog saludos desde Buenos Aires =)
Thanks so much! 😊
la opcion mas logica es esperar en la siguiente estacion, como ya lo habian planeado antes del incidente.
Lovely argentina. Is it expensive there?
It can be! They have an interesting situation with their currency!
It’s very cheap for foreigners nowadays
Villa Urquiza IS PART OF THE CITY; you probably meant downtown.
Weird! That's where we stayed!
My friend and I got separated in the tube in London. She didnt think it was the right train but i figured they would all go to the same place. The doors closed behind me and left her behind. Luckily she had told me we were going to Tottenham Court so I just got off there and waited for her. She was so mad at me though 😂 😂😂
😄 everyone reacts differently when it happens in real life! Haha
I don't know when was this recorded but... 8000 is like 8 US dollars at the "blue" rate or around 20 US dollars at the Credit card rate
Recorded recently but we were converting to Australian dollars!
Hi guys, you should know other neighborhoods in the city like Puerto Madero, Palermo, Belgrano, etc. , greetings
We really want to explore more!
@@JordanandEmilySee if you will have enough time to explore it and enjoy it.
I love tango
Me too 😍
Emily wins, Jordan should have got off at the next stop and waited
This is maddness! 😄 surely I'm not alone in this!
-Jordan
El pibe entrando por el medio del bondi y la cara de la piba cuando lo ve. 02:38
At least you got a little & funny adventure with the bus system, lol.
😄
Emily, you should stay put and wait Jordan to hop off the bus and returned to picked you up
Son geniales amigos Jordan and Emily , excelente trabajo, me suscribí a su canal, vinieron a Argentina mi País, besos y abrazos saludos cordiales!👍🙏🤝❤🌷💐🌹
Thank you so much ❤️
👍🙏🤝❤@@JordanandEmily
Oh my gosh what an ordeal! I've always been taught as a child that you stay put, if something like that happens... and wait for the other person to loop around! At least you guys will know exactly what do to if (god forbid) this ever happens again!!
That's what I (Jordan) thought to! I just remember so many news stories where people go missing its because they venture off instead of staying put!
@@JordanandEmily But it was damn entertaining to watch 😉😂
Espero que les guste Argentina un beso Saludos
We do! ❤️
Another amazing video, keep up the good work
guys! Never board the bus through the middle or back door! Always enter through the front. the other 2 are for going out. LOL
Hahaha it seems simple now! But in the moment, we thought we were following the drivers instructions! 😄 oh well, love and learn!
The correct answer is, get off at the next stop. If you wait to make it to the end, it may take 2-3 hours to wait.
Why were you sitting so far away from the tango dancers in an almost empty cafe?
It was to help with noise when recording! Also we were low key scared of receiving a swift kick to the face while they danced 😄
Italia Tuvo más influencia sobre sobre Argentina por la gran inmigración italiana y europea en general
The coffee was great!
The correct solution would have been to hop off and wait for the next bus, but I can imagine the stress of being alone, in a developing country, with no data, in a big city, etc etc etc. But you seemed to manage it quite well haha
Haha it's a hot topic for debate!
It's not a subte card per se, and SUBE does not stand for subterranean. SUBE stands for single electronic ticket system and it's for subways, regular trains, and short-distance buses.
And btw, in that scenario... STAY PUT. That coffee shop looked cozy though, serendipity.
Hahah that's a good way to look at it, finding the cafe was serendipitous!
He was right, Emily shouldn't move not only because is the more sensical option, but adding to that, she hasn't data connection on her phone and as she told, she didn't even know where to get off.
At the end, the lesson is, when going abroad with family NEVER be without cell data plan.
It rare that the driver left someone behind with the bus not being full.
Happy staying in BA
So true but oh well 😂
Que arriesgados viajar así, pueden terminar en cualquier lado.

Hey guys, I'm Eduardo from Salta (Argentina). TH-cam recommended me your channel and I'm glad it did. I've watched a couple of videos and you both seem so nice and fun 🙂 There's another australian couple I follow on TH-cam (Slaiman and Kate) and Emily looks like Kate's cousin or something, they both look alike 😅 By the way, Emily has the most amazing eyes 👍 Anyway, hope you had fun in my country 🇦🇷 Now I'm about to watch your video in Santiago, Chile ▶️
Amazing! We will have to check them out ❤️
Thank you! 💙💙
I recommend you guys to travel to these Southern European countries;
- Spain🇪🇸
- Portugal🇵🇹
- Malta🇲🇹
We really want to get to allllll of these!!
I'll be paying $30 to stay in the town center in a 4* hotel that's not expensive
U guys not using the official exchange rate right?
No! We did the western union thing! ☺️
Hi. Caminito is not the birthplace of tango. It's known because it was the inspiration of the homonym tango song composed in 1926 by Juan de Dios Filiberto (music) and Gabino Coria Peñaloza (lyrics), which is one of the most popular songs in tango history.
The birthplace of tango is a topic still under debate among scholars.
Thanks for letting us know!
If it happens again? stay in the same spot... and the other will come to you! even if they have to walk several blocks!
Team Emily! 😂 wait at the next station
😄
