[RECAP] International Day of Culture - Buenos Aires

Hello Local Guides from all around the world! I hope you are doing very well.

I’m writing this post to tell you about another worldwide meet-up, in this case organized by amazing @LaxmiG1 because of International day of Culture (more info in her post!).

Place: Feria de Mataderos

Date: May 20th 2018

Attendees:

@santiagoirale

@Jesi

@GA_1

@ValeriaA (host)

In the meet-up webpage, 7 people said they would assist, but only 3 showed up. Of course that didn’t stop us from having an amazing time together!

Feria de Mataderos is a cultural fair that is held every Sunday, and it’s dedicated to argentinian culture, with typical music, dances, food and handicrafts.

The first thing we did was take a walk along the stands which offered all types of products! Here are some photos:

After that, we decided it was a good time for a live streaming via YouTube! It was my first time and it was great. I even used my video stabilizer which worked also great.

Here’s the video of the streaming (you might see I had some trouble at first, but then I got used to it!):

We discovered that there was a museum of argentinian history and culture, so we visited it too. I was a bit disappointed because it wasn’t taken good care of, and although you have to pay an entrance fee, the quality of the pieces is medium-low. Here are a few photos:

Argentinian history is only 202 years old, as declaration of independence from Spain was signed in 1816.

We then kept on walking a bit more and recording music and dances. Here’s the video recap (the music was recorded live!):

I hope you liked learning about my culture as much as I enjoyed telling you about it.

Here’s the shared album with photos from every attendee.

See you in the next post!

Happy Guiding! :slight_smile:

Great recap @ValeriaA it’s a very cool place where you get so much argentinian culture from all corners of the country and so close to the city centre. It’s unbelievable that we haven’t been there before.

As always great team of local guides @Jesi and Gustavo.

Looking forward to your next meet up Vale!!
