Summing up the trip to Buenos Aires.

This post will be rather long due to images, I suggest you skip right ahead to read the whole thing.

I went to Buenos Aires to attend El Ojo the advertising award show for the latin countries.El ojo

After one of my bumpier plane trips ever, I got some sleep at my hostel and then met up with Ricardo (from Agência Click/Isobar) and Jesus (from Netthink in Madrid, so he’s a friend of Björn) and had one of the best steaks I’ve ever had for lunch. A must if you’re in Argentina.

Of course there was a few more worthwhile, but those two was the best ones.

So all in all, it was all pretty awesome. But kinda nice to get back to São Paulo on sunday anyway, no place like home I guess.
