good morning guys welcome to bonus Aires
and Argentina if you happen to be new
around here I am Trevor and this is Anna
we are the delightful travelers make
sure to hit that subscribe button and a
little bell to follow along in our
adventures so this might seem like an
odd choice but we're starting things off
in a Japanese garden it's beautiful and
tranquil here and the reason we thought
we should start it off here is because
we wanted to show you that in the city
this size there's something for
everybody
[Music]
so this garden is actually run by the
Japanese Argentine cultural foundation
it was founded in nert but it was
inaugurated I believe in 1967 and it's
the largest Japanese garden of its type
in the world outside of Japan it's kind
of surprising because it's not that big
I wouldn't say by any means it's the
biggest garden that we've been in before
but gentlemen maybe there's not that
many Japanese gardens outside of Japan
[Music]
so there's one thing we can tell you
with certainty it is absolutely
beautiful here and there's also not a
lot of people I know it's not fifty
pesos with what like four dollars yeah
per person so guys I'll tell you what
there are two absolute epic bridges here
basically when we're on and that one
this guy over here yeah and it's kind of
making us want to go to Japan we've
never been before but we do need to go
back to Asia so maybe it'll be our next
trip
[Music]
so those gardens were absolutely
beautiful if you get the chance to come
to one of series we highly recommend you
check those out just take long to do no
no no and we're so we're making our way
through recoleta the gardens were kind
of on the edge of it so now we're sort
of going through the neighborhood and
we're making our way to a place again
that you might not expect it's a
cemetery a very popular attraction in
the city you'll see
[Music]
Wow it is absolutely beautiful in here
we love when we get to find things like
this in cities it's not the first
cemetery we've ever come across though
happened in Paris yeah so we've done a
lot of cemeteries but we're trying to
think of ones we've logged before
complete Pere Lachaise in in Paris yes
very famous one and it's kind of
embarrassing I don't because one of our
very first we have to link to it for you
guys look if you want to watch you go up
there if you want to see how it all
started that's very cringe-worthy I know
a lot of people might find it kind of
morbid that we really enjoyed cemeteries
but there's something really unique and
like cultural about it to see how people
are buried or in tuned or however you
want to call it throughout the world
here I'm gonna guess this maybe isn't
the norm and Argentina this is I think a
very affluent place so people very
famous people are buried here former
presidents um
I think the most famous person is Eva
Peron who is the president's wife and
she's a vita you've probably heard of
her it's also set on I'm sorry I'm gonna
have to go to my phone for this it's on
5.5 hector's and there are four thousand
six hundred and ninety-one bulbs here
Wow right that was really big yeah 94
have been declared national historic
monuments so I think I think this extra
set Cemetery goes back to the eighteen
hundreds at some point and now it's
considered one of the most beautiful
cemeteries in the entire world
[Music]
so one thing we are noticing right away
is how different all these Tunes are
there's some that are very colorful
there's others that are barely standing
and they have support pins yeah they're
working on some - yes some of them look
really new probably not new but they
look new they do in very good shape and
then there's like lots of different
themes happening I saw one that looked
like it was Egyptian well then one that
look like has a head like a egg on the
top
Wow like it's absolutely beautiful you
could spend a lot of time here because
it's so big so if you're wondering there
are a lot of people here but you can
find definitely the quieter areas we've
been trying to stay away from the famous
tombs on purpose just because we wanted
to quieter spots video but I mean
there's a lot of people but it's not
jam-packed or anything like that it was
[Music]
so this magical place we are in right
now is called el ateneo grande splendid
and it is a bookstore slash kind of like
a library all I know is it's
over-the-top beautiful it's gorgeous
it's actually in an old theater you can
see like the Opera seats and the front
of the theater which I think it's now a
cafe gone to yeah we're just admiring
the crazy crazy view it definitely one
of the most beautiful bookstores we've
ever seen it's gorgeous I think 3,000
people come through here each day so
it's definitely very popular so if
you're coming here as an
english-speaking tourist like we are I
heard they don't have the best selection
of English books so if you're booked
shopping maybe not the best place unless
you can read Spanish but the view is
unbelievable it's gorgeous in here the
ceiling is over the top then you have
all these different levels the lighting
ahead red that it this is rated one of
the top most beautiful bookstores in the
entire world I think national
Geographics at that so Anna and I were
just saying maybe we should make it a
mission of ours to visit some of the top
rated bookstores around the world
believe it or not we were at another one
that was equally impressive in Porto
we'll make sure to link that video
because that one was just as amazing as
this but to see if someone's find any
books back there
nope hablo espanol
[Music]
alright guys we've just hopped in a cab
and we came back over to our
neighborhood that we were staying and
it's called Palermo Hollywood and it is
awesome yeah so it's a little quieter
than the other area we were in today
it's got a great cafe called me because
we have made all over the place people
sitting outside enjoying drinks crosses
used to be some lots of different types
of food here so if you're worried about
like only finding FIFA in Buenos Aires
there is loads of options in this
neighborhood so it's kind of funny we
were told before we got here that it
would be very hard for someone that does
not eat me too
in the city yeah people had said if
you're not a Beefeater which I don't I
don't generally eat beef I have a really
hard time finding anything and we found
the opposite like we found everything
here we ate sushi last night Branson
[Music]
alright guys we found a place called ko
I think dumplings and beer we did fail a
little bit on the food because we've got
our beer but the foods I mean be warned
about here is that food doesn't start
often until late here at 7:30 then last
too late but we're earlier my right now
and really hungry but a lot of
restauranteurs like 8:00 8:30 even 9
o'clock at Sun so be ready for that
all right I got a pilsner today I'm
gonna give it a shot
very tasty definitely not going to
complain about that I'll tell you guys
what though one of the things we love
about this area is just how everybody's
outside the moment it's nice out it's a
big cafe culture there's people getting
together and just having a great time we
are hoping we can make it to 7:30 we got
about 45 minutes to go because there's
dumplings here and we want to try them
so we'll see if we can make it alright
guys we fought through our hunger we
made it to 7:30 it's now dark out we got
some dumplings they are pork dumplings
so I feel like I need to clarify some
things we were talking about meat
earlier just probably in the last year
so I started eating pork I've always
eaten chicken beef I have not made it up
to yet maybe this should have been the
country that I'm doing in but I haven't
yet oh we have a few days left of them
anyway for now I'm gonna try these pork
dumplings
they look very tasty interesting note
there's no dipping sauce yeah I thought
there might be
delicious without the dip tail can see
in there there's a little bit of
seasoning a little like Asian flavor in
there steamed on one side and then like
fried on the other so they're like a
little soft on one side and crunchy on
the other side all right like this is
good okay you got me so excited for
these
oh I don't know if you guys can see it
dripping so like the insides really
gooey and very flavorful and the outside
it's kind of sticky but where the burnt
marks are that's where it was seared of
course just adds this like bit of
crispness like anisette
very good dumplings we like about one a
series of all the options down here with
food so glad we're trying this out
tonight by the way if you guys were
wondering why we're not eating
Argentinian food we already have in
another video so you're just like tune
in for the first time you're like why
aren't you eating beef and me then what
we what we eat traditionally we've done
that a couple videos ago we'll make sure
to link it on the screen so you can
check it out it was delicious and such
an epic day but for now since we are
more necessary like we said we're just
enjoying all the different cuisines
because the city so big and as ever
[Music]
well what a day this has been
exceptional but we will say it took us
all day to do all of these things right
yeah it's a really big city so get
around oh yeah so if you like if you're
a planner we're not that much of a
planners but if you are a planner it
really does take longer like everything
took an hour longer than we thought and
we still managed to do it and we still
went out at a very slow pace but it did
yeah like it's nighttime now and we
thought we would have been finished
hours ago yeah so to recap today we
started at those amazing Gardens the
Japanese gardens which were we'd love
seeing that kind of stuff and then after
that what did we do again a cemetery oh
yeah right the cemetery and that was on
like I'm we knew that was one of the
things you had to do here yeah we did a
lot of people suggested to it yeah lots
and thanks all to all you guys push it
on Instagram we get a lot of people
telling us what to do
and they give us like tips and tricks
and it's excellent we love when we get
that kind of insight after that we had
that amazing amazing amazing and it was
cool to come back to this neighborhood
and just hang out this is very close to
our place as well let me also say I
really love that all the things we did
today what kind of knock things that you
would expect to see here and this would
be like this yeah I mean they're very
touristy things but just not this
unexpected yeah absolutely now if you
haven't watched our last video yet we
were hanging out in Mendoza City and if
you go it's very different than this
city
obviously and in our next video we are
digging
Juanes area so much we're gonna stay
here for a bit yeah we're gonna maybe
explore the new neighborhoods different
neighborhoods this one it's gonna be so
much fun what if would have last so far
