Technopolis is basically a giant fair that showcases all of Argentina's "cool" things and technology. Free admission (paid for by the government) meant that it was a easy and fun date with the wife, just a 45 min bus ride to the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The day we went was holidy which meant that it was packed full of people. One bad thing about free admission is that almost everything had a long line to get in, for some reason Argentines seem to like forming lines and waiting, (there is a line for everything, the bank, grocery store...).

Anyways we had fun walking around and looking at what we could see, which was mostly people standing in lines waiting to go inside to see something. We walked around, had a picnic and looked at the interesting dinosaur exhibit, which also had a long long line but we could still see the dinosaurs.

We then decided to wait in line to what looked like a cool modern art exhibit. After waiting for 30 minutes in a short line we were finally let inside, but it wasn't a modern art exhibit, it was, well I'm not sure what it was, just a little warehouse with college students thesis' in display cases, their actual papers just sitting behind display cases. It had something to do with music and the math behind music and notes, who knows, so we looked around, laughed, and tried to figure out why we had to wait 30 minutes to get inside.

Then we went to a big expo center and they had a video game exhibit, pretty cool right, but there was a long line and Monica didn't want to wait in a line to see something she had little interest in, so I managed to peek inside, and after seeing Xbox 360 and dance dance revolution on display, I figured it was probably good we didn't wait in line, not exactly the E3 expo in Las Vegas.

The dinosaurs were cool and they also had some mockumentary about aliens attacking buenos aires in the sixties which was covered up by the government, that was interesting.

A fun interesting fair which was not exactly a World's Fair or Stark Industry new technology fair.....
Argentina is still pretty far behind the USA.
