Buenos Aires is known as the Paris of South America because of the similar architectural styles, but Buenos Aires reminded me less of Paris and more of a strange jumble of several major cities. It is what you would get if you mixed D.C. with New York and threw in some Paris and a dash of Salt Lake.
Upon arriving, I had just enough time to explore the city´s center. As the country´s capital, it has the Congressional building (designed based on the U.S. Capital) at one end of a major avenue and the Presidential Palace, the Pink House, at the other end, with a phallic symbol of political power, an obelisk, in the middle.
