¡lomo, lomo, LOMO!

I hate trying to find food in Argentina. It starts off ok, medialuna and tostadas for breakfast but after that, sometimes I would rather not eat. The choices here are generally, steak, lomo (steak sandwich), lomito (small steak sandwich), meat-filled empañada, soggy, oily pasta or pizza with just mozzarella. Yum. Choices for vegetarians are mainly frigging ensalada.
We are in the big smoke now in Buenos Aires after leaving Córdoba on Saturday. Córdoba was pretty good, Steph´s friend José, local resident of Córdoba, kindly showed us around which was extremely nice of her, considering it´s exam finals and what not here at the moment. Met some nice people in Córdoba and attempted conversation in Spanish with Spaniard whose English was worse than my Spanish. I always have less to say in Spanish than in English though. If something is difficult to say I generally would rather not say it!
So we got in on Saturday night here at about 11pm. We were going to go to bed after a 10 hour bus ride but decided to go out, being saturday night in Buenos Aires and all. The captain (yes that´s what they call him) who mans the bar told us about a place called Amerika. We went out at about 2 as places here don´t crank til late. Amerika turned out to be a gay bar with bad music and big buff overbearing security guys. I didn´t like it at first but you pay 50 pesos (just under $25) and all you can drink for the rest of the night. Also, it must be mentioned that they fill your drink HALF with gin then a tiny bit of postmix. I started to enjoy it more. We were also with Alex, from mexico who we had met at the hostal earlier. He turned out to be very handy speaking spanish and all as it turned out there were lots of straight men there too that tend to babble something in spanish to you. We returned to the hostel at 7am but the disco was still pretty full. Went to hostel where captain´s friend was having an after party that STARTED at 7am at a club. I piked but the boys went and returned at about midday. Nothing really happened on sunday. We woke to watch the first half of la boca juniors (fútbol) at about 5pm and now it´s Monday. Lots of things to do in Buenos Aires, we´re going to check out the city now!
