Superman returns

When Titten lived in BA last time he was very fasinated about Superman. That by the way is still his bigest hero. During his fasination he ended up to be superman, and the house he lived in turned into Supermans house and his room Superman room.

Tittens friend Edu, the manager of the house was surprised and really happy hen Superman returned for a short periode of time. Superman must say that the house looked much nicer toda than two years ago and he also wish to congratulate Edu with his new supergirl Sofie.
Here Edu and Titten doing the Superman greating!

The east part of BA

San telmo Area of town where the tango came to life. Load of history and caracter. At sundays there is a market.
Typical BA band playing in the street in San telmo
Close to Boca a dangerouse area and the famous football teams location ther is tourist area with coloured houses.

BA at night


Sandra and Tarjei at a bar Saturday night
Titten and Tarjei outside the bar, brrrrrrrrrr. Titten does not look forward to Norwegian fall.
Sandra not used to the cold, but like we say in Norway there is no bad weather just bad clothes (jæææææ særlig (titten disagree, bad excuse for people to b ahppy about their cold country)

Tango for to



The popular dance from Buenos Aires, and the most beautiful in the world if you ask Titten. The argentinians are actually not too interested in it, but you find people dancing it for tourists every where.

Meat orgasme is named Lomo


Meat otgasme "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Loooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooo

It is worth the trip to Argentina alone. they have the best meat in the world. Go and order a bloody Lomo steak and you will see. They say girls can get orgasme from chocolate. Titten almost belives he can get it from the Lomo. Titten miss it allready. You have not eatean meat befor eyou have been to argentina. Gilde (Norwegian meat brand) should go on a study trip.

The price at an expencive restauratn, lomo for around 10 USD and a bottle of red wine the same. Most red wine in Argentina is made in Mendoza a city furter south. It is normally very good and cheap.

Recoleta- the cemetary

Famose cemetary where Evita is burried. Long article about it last weekend in aftenposten in Norway. The cemetary is nice 8if you can call a place for dead people nice) where all the dead have family graves, smal houses for their family. The evita grave is quite hidden but if you just look at a guy working there he knows what your question will be even though you do not know spanish.
Loads of beautiful statues of catolic symbols
Evita, difficult to get the Japanese photo, many tourists walke din the way.
Not the most beautiful but the most popular grave. Eva Peron or Evita. Here grave is a symbole of why she became so popular.

Weekend trip BA

Tittens last weekend in Latin America for this time he went back to his favorite city. Rio maybe favorite place, but BA is the best city. When Titten lived in BA it was summer and almost 40 degrees celsius. Now it was winter and between 5 and 18. Like a good Norwegian easter day. Warm in te sun and cold outside.

Titten and Sandra outside their hotel Chile in the street de Mayo
The govermental building. Really beautiful.

Sandras first trip outside of Brazil. She was really afraid of flying, but weird enough we survived bouth ways. Here on out way back. It is weird how people is afraid of the wrong things. Flying is the most secure way of transport and more secure than your home, still we are afraid even though the most dangerouse part of the trip is the taxi ride to and from the airport.

99000 empty seats


Titten heier på Lyn (Titten supports Lyn) Crazy fans Cute fans
My friend from Norway, Tarjei visited me in Rio and we went to Maracana to watch a match there. We came way to early. Thought the match startet at 4 i started at 6 pm, so we had some time to kill. I am just happy that my favorite team Lyn from Oslo do not play here, it is enough with 21 000 empty seats that screams for Lyn on the stadium in Oslo. The match between fluminese and another team had probably 15 000 people watching, this still means an almost empty staduim. But the fans are crazy and the football ten times more technical than in Norway. The match made titten miss the matches he wached when he lived in Argentina.

Copacabana





It could be the worlds most famouse beach. It is not the most beautiful, but it is the most interesting. So many different types of people. You can sit, walk or swim it for hours and just watch the people, the cariocas (rio people) to the gringos. Photos from a normal winter sunday
