Cazuela de Taricos
28/06/08 22:53 Filed in: Argentina | Buenos Aires
This morning I took the Subte to the end of the Green line to visit Motocare. They rent motorcycles, mainly Honda TransAlps, to gringos wanting to tour Argentina.
They have a good setup but at a whopping US$90 per day you have to be very determined to travel by motorcycle. I would like to do a motorcycle tour but hesitate somewhat at the price. Imports into Argentina attract a 50% duty makeing motorcycles much here expensive than in Europe. Another option is to buy one and sell it after the trip.
Or take the coach.
Later I walked over to Corrientes to buy a ticket to see Ariel Tarico passing these court buildings on the way.
Ariel Tarico is a young Argentine satarist and his show “Cazuela de Taricos” is billed as the “vuelve el humor polîtico a la calle corrientes”.
I wasn’t sure how much of this I would understand but went anyway.
The venues was at the back of a basement stand up comedy venue. I went to the 21:00 show which was sold out. Around 60-70 people got in.
It was pretty good with a lot of visual elements and a lot of Argentine in-jokes some of which I vaguely understood. The detail in the main escaped me.
On the way home at around 10:45 Corrientes was teeming with people.
