The city is spectacular - elegant buildings, green leafy plazas, miles of markets in bohemian San Telmo, bright corrugated iron and lattice buildings in La Boca, crazy 16 lanes of Av 9 de Julio, Casa Rosada (the Pink House - where Eva Peron addressed the masses - and btw it's completely impossible not to burst into "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" whilst standing in front of it) and a fast, cheap subway (Subte) with the original wooden carriages from the 1920s (as Bin and I watched it take off with arms and legs still hanging out the doors in peak hour one morning we simultaneously decided to walk). Absolutely glorious city ... I'll be back (after a few more Spanish and Tango lessons).
