Big In Japan

Almost six days ago, we set off from Buenos Aires on a night bus to Iguazu, and thus commenced the first leg of our 5 week journey. It takes about 18 hours on the bus, and no it did not have ckickens or anything. I was wondering how I was going to get through the ride with neither Ipod nor book for comfort, but my fears were assuaged when I saw the media lineup on the Crucero del Norte busline. Apparently 1980s nostalgia is even stronger in Argentina than it is in the States. They played a medley of music videos starting off with this gem, and other songs that had been lost to Father Time, before making their way to Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Doo Doo Doo Dah Dah Dah. Then the movies started...almost every American movie that I have seen in Argentina has been for the first time, and not without reason. So far I have seen: The Legend of Bagger Vance, What Happens in Vegas, Shattered, Die Hard 4, and Untraceable. Die Hard 4 was hands down the best.

The falls were amazing. Can´t really put them into words. There were literally 40 waterfalls all in one place, lined up next to each other, in two sometimes three tiers, coming at different angles. On the second day it was sunny so there were rainbows everywhere. It looked like Never Neverland.
