Argentines are obsessed with pop/soda. They never have a meal without pop and will always look at me funny if I ask for water. In several of my classes the secretaries always ask me if I would like a cappuccino or coffee and I always ask for water so I have become the weird water boy foreigner. Anyways, here is the list of our favorite gaseosas/pop. Our favorite brand is h20h! Branded as the drink with just the right amount of gas h2oh! Is a nice soft drink. Although I don't think it is very healthy it still taste healthier than coke, plus it has no sugar or caffeine so it is almost like drinking sparkling cider. It is also cheap, 16 pesos ($1.50) will get you a two liter bottle. We never miss a meal without our h2oh!

4. Pomelo-grapefruit

3. Blanco- limoneto- lime

Buenos Aires has some really nice parks. Considering it is such a large and crowded city it is pretty impressive the amount of park space the city has. The Palermo parks are a great place to walk and somewhat "escape" from the city.

Tourist advice

During the weekends the parks can get crowded, so it is best to go during the week, unless you like to share the park with thousands of other argentine families trying to escape the crowded city.
