Argentina Gay Pride Parade 2008

Published by Michael on November 1, 2008 in The city. 0 Comments

Buenos Aires is the most liberal city in Latin America. As an example, two years ago, it was legalised the same-sex civil unions. Marcela Cuesta, Buenos Aires’s sub secretary of tourism, said: “We’re quite an open society, with open criteria to accept visitors. That’s what we’ve been showing and that’s why gay tourism has nominated us as a gay-friendly city.”
In November, Buenos Aires’ annual gay pride parade attracted thousands of men and women to celebrate the birth of the first gay organization in Latin America. The parade starts in Plaza de Mayo, downtown Buenos Aires, Saturday 1rst of November at 18:00 PM, goes over Avenida de Mayo and ends in front of the Congress Palace.

Dog walker, a common sight in Buenos Aires

Published by Michael on September 12, 2008 in Stay in BA News and The city. 0 Comments

This is a typical street image in Buenos Aires.

Walking in a group is for dogs very natural, a must is that the dogwalker is a natural leader and has a special effection for dogs, is fiscally able to handle little problems in the group and leads them (mostly by voice) safely through town. Don’t be suprised of the size of the group of dogs, it can be be up to 20….it’s a job!

The dog-walker starts in the morning to collect his first dog and this is the lucky one, most of the time it will be the last to deliver after about 4 hours outside, before the dog-walker goes home. In this 4 hours working day, he or she is collecting the rest of the dogs, whom mostly are very happy to get out and meet their friend-dogs and go to the park to play a game or have a chat or just sit in the sun next to a tree.

“You are livin’ like a dog ” doesn’t seems to be an awful life…
