Again from BA

Thanks to everyone who commented or sent me a message :-)
I met Vicky, one of the other volunteers. When we were to meet, she told me I'd recognize her because she looked like a typical English woman :-)) We were walking together yesterday. She just complained that I wanted to walk too much...
I saw McDonalds here (no surprise). However, while in the Czech Republic McDonalds is rather cheap (if compared to some restaurants), here it's VERY expensive - and full of rather rich people who seems to try to imitate the supposed "western lifestyle".
We visited the Recoleta cemetery. It's the cemetery for the "elite" people here. The tombs are splendid. The most famous person here is probably Eva Peron (but there are most Argentinian presidents and such as well...). Her tomb is full of epitaphs about what she did for working people and what she did for social justice...and she lays in the cemetery for rich people :-))
If someone fears to drive even in Prague (like me), it's advisable to that person not to even approach car here (well, that's kind of difficult given how many cars there are) - drivers are even way more savage than e.g. in Italy.
