Buenos Aires
A very short taxi ride from the centre – or about 500 meters west of the San Telmo market is this hidden Equadorian restaurant. Just get close and ask people on the street.
It’s a community resource centre during the week that includes accomodation for quite a few Equadorians. It is also a serious dance studio and on the Sundays it is an open house restaurant that serves meals to the public, after which the tables get pulled back for some expert salsa dancing.
They love visiters here. They love it even more when you dance with them – no matter how bad you are – and I’m truely awful! With the beer flowing at about 50p a litre though, it’s not difficult to get in the mood.
Buenos Aires is my favourite city and this is one of the reasons why.

This really is one place that lives up to the hype. There is something about the scale and completeness about the Temple of Karnak that just fulfills every childhood fantasy that you had about Egypt.
I can’t quite remember the stat, but there is a sign as you enter that compares the size of this place very favourably with St Peters Cathedral in Rome – I think it said something like this was the largest religous structure ever built. (I just googled it and aparrantly it is spread over 247 acres)
It’s a maze of pillars and sandstone ampitheatres, in various degrees of decay and with really awe inspiring hyrogliphs.
It’s so big that you can get away from the crowds and the touts.
Probably my favourite place ever to play hide and seek.
