Yes, Maria confirmed that the custom is to throw all good old papers and not needed documents out in the streets the last day of the year. People even collect things they know they can throw away on that particular day! So the streets are white and the cleaners hope for no rain...
Went to the cementery of Chacarita, where the famous tango singer Carlos Gardel is buried. A wonderful calm awaited me there. I like cementeries! To escape from the chaos in the city. And I had this nice, really nice talk with an older lady that came to "my" bench to have her Sunday chat with a foreigner. That is the best, meeting Argentinians and asking them stuff about life here.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and myself a couple of comments on this blog! :)

Haha, bailarina, varsågod. Antar att stämningen inte är att leka med på nyårsafton i Buenos Aires, även om Möllevångstorget också erbjuder underhållning på sitt sätt, närmare inbördeskrig än fest, men funkar på håll.
Märklig tradition med pappersslängandet, i brist på snö? Hoppas du får en fin nyårskväll.
Jag ser fram emot torsdag. Puss

where are you dancing for new year? Warning if you go to La V don't go before 4am as tthey play trashy eurodiscopop salsa and swing for the drunkards before then and then tango 4am - 8am for the hardcore ;)

H and V are doing fine and spent Christmas day with S and L (see blog photos). P and M are invited to dinner with S and L and little E soon. S and J were with N and R tonight.
