It´s the arts! 17






Some nice pics from movies we have seen recently.

1: The Matador.

2: An english documentary about the search for the country's best WC.

Melonio, Montevideo 177

Melonio is a rather strange little bar. The walls are covered with porn and heavy metal posters, so it might not be the perfect place to bring a date. Note the informative piece of paper above the urinal. Picture 3 is from the entrance of the ladies' room.

Unione e Benevolenza, Perón 1372

A fine basement for rock&roll concerts, this one. Not the most underground of the basements Buenos Aires has to offer - entrance and beer are more expensive than elsewhere, and smoking is only allowed in the back - but it's a nice place.

Bar & Pool Imaginate, Sarmiento al 1600

Imaginate is a beautiful place. Cheap beer in 1 l bottles, open till 6 a.m. The jukebox offers a variety of cumbias.

Tomo I, Carlos Pellegrini 521, Buenos Aires



Tomo Uno is located close to the obelisco, and is perhaps the finest restaurant in town. Excellent food and, more important, shiny WCs.

Ferretería, Puriscal, Costa Rica


Puriscal appears to have it all. Chicharrones, chinchorros and an impressive range of WCs in different colours.
