Buenos Aires Day 6 布宜诺斯艾利斯第六天

2022年11月27日，星期日，南美洲之旅第十一天 – Day 11 of South America trip

昨天半夜PJG就开始泻肚子，早上起来也没有转好，他还是坚持着我俩步行去了西联汇款，换了100美金，因为今天是星期天，唯一这家离我俩还比较近的店还开门，汇率不是很理想，1比304，没办法没有选择。步行回民宿之后，PJG没吃午饭，在家休息，我买了一份外卖做午餐，吃完之后独自去了这里的一个有名的日本庭园。

PJG started to have diarrhea in the middle of the night last night, and it got worse by the morning (was it that pork dish I gave him?). He still insisted that we walk to Western Union to exchange money. Because today is Sunday, there was only one store relatively close to us that was open – the exchange rate was 1:304, not the best. After walking back to the apartment, PJG didn’t have lunch and just went to straight to bed. I bought takeaway for lunch, and then went to the famous Japanese garden, alone.

我的炸鸡肉饭，不是很好吃 – My fried chicken rice, looks good, but was not very tasty
午餐的饭店叫 – Hana Poke & Bar
去坐公交车的路上看到的一个雕塑 – A sculpture I saw on the way to the bus
日本庭园的外面的大树和落叶 – Big trees and fallen leaves outside the Japanese garden
要排队买门票，票价是416比索，我给售票员1000比索，她用西班牙说了什么，我示意听不懂，她然后找了我600比索，估计是问我有没有16零钱，应该是看我不懂就不要了，哈哈 – I had to line up to buy tickets. The ticket price was 416 pesos, I gave the woman 1,000 pesos, she said something in Spanish, I indicated that I didn’t understand, she gave me 600 pesos back, probably saying don’t worry about the small change. I saved 16 pesos! … haha (actually its only about 5 cents)
竟然还有今天的日期 – They update the date daily … lol
典型的日本花园的设计，流水，鱼塘，拱桥，绿植，亭子等等 – The design of a typical Japanese garden, running water, fish ponds, arched bridges, green plants, pavilions, etc.
这两只不知道什么鸟或鸭在那里晒太阳 – I don’t know what kind of birds or ducks are basking in the sun (google did, they are Cormorants)
这个庭园不是很大，在这里乘乘凉，看看过往的游客，还是很轻松惬意 – This garden is not very big, but it was still very relaxing to enjoy the shade and watch the passing tourists

出了日本庭园，步行不到十分钟就到了伽利略天文馆，据说这是一个很先进的天文馆，跟传统天文馆相比，可以让人看到多出大约一百万颗恒星，可以以前所未有的真实感欣赏银河系。PJG提醒过我说，南半球看到的星星和我们在 北半球看到回不一样。下午到了天文馆也只能是看看外观，因为票已经售罄，要在网上预约购买才能进去。

Just near the Japanese Garden, the Galileo Planetarium in less than ten minutes walk. It is said that this is a very advanced planetarium. Compared with other planetariums, people can see about one million more stars, which can be seen with unprecedented realism and can admire the details of the Milky Way. PJG reminded me that the stars seen in the southern hemisphere are somewhat different from what we see in the northern hemisphere. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the planetarium, I could only gaze at the exterior of the building, because the tickets were all sold out – They said I had to make an appointment online to enter.

去天文馆路上看到的一个纪念碑 – A monument seen on the way to the planetarium
伽利略天文馆和周围在健身跳操的人 – The Galileo Planetarium and people either doing aerobics or sun worshipping.
周日在树荫下乘凉休息的阿根廷人 – Argentines resting in the shade of trees on a Sunday afternoon

PJG给我发短息说他开始发烧了，看来是有病毒或是细菌感染了，我回到民宿后，去一个肉店买了两个小鸡腿和白面包片，给他熬了个鸡汤做晚饭。

PJG sent me a text message saying that he started to have a fever of over 102 (39c). It seems that he has a virus or bacterial infection. After I returned to the apartment, I went to a butcher shop and bought two small chicken legs and some white bread slices, and made chicken soup broth and white toast for him. Then I went to find something for me for dinner!

还好民宿里基本的厨具 – Fortunately, there were plenty of basic kitchen utensils in the apartment
去买我的晚饭的时候看到这些人在唱歌跳舞，感觉非常快乐 – It was such a joy to see these people singing and dancing when I went out to buy my dinner.
我的外卖韩国菜，辣猪肉，很失望，不是很好吃，米饭都没熟 – My takeaway Korean food, spicy pork, was disappointing, not very tasty, rice was undercooked. Is there any good food in South America?

估计和病毒/细菌战斗怎么也要个两三天，希望PJG不要严重了吧。

Based on Dr. PJGs reading of google, he estimated that it will take two or three days to fight the virus/bacteria. I hope it doesn’t get more serious. He seems very sick but says he’s not sick enough to go to the hospital. Meanwhile, I will find something fun to do!

  1. I’m sorry James is sick, hoping he quickly recovers. Thank you for making him chicken soup.
    I’m glad you were able to relax at the Japanese Garden and see some lively dancers.
