Lost and Pickled in Buenos Aires?

June 8, 2007 at 9:32 AM | 4 Comments

The Blogger's Choice Awards are up and running and the best travel blog category's showing up a few weird and wonderful blogs. You might remember the Lost Girls who have their RTW journey blogged in (financial) detail: they're running in the top 5 at the moment, as is the Pickled Eel--a random collection of posts from a middle-aged Aussie who's done a pack of traveling with the air force and the foreign affairs wing of the government.

But right at the front of the pack now in this zany list of amateur-blogs-turned-slightly-famous is a blog from a youth hostel in Buenos Aires. It goes way beyond simple promotion for a hostel and patchily into a tourist guide for BA: half in English, half in Spanish with a dash of tango and skydiving thrown in.

We will be rooting for any of our travel blog stars that make the cut.

    Hostel Colonial - Buenos Aires - Argentina

    Amanda I write to you from Buenos Aires and I noticed your annoyance being ours blog first in a list that we did not generate, the friends who we obtained anywhere in the world are those that does it and promotes and we cannot underestimate them for that reason. Perhaps you can read something more of hostelbuenosaires.blogspot.com  are approximately 500 posts, in Spanish, English, Portuguese and in Hebrew and you do not remain with a poor impression. Thanks equal, and if you wish it to blogspot@hostelcolonial.com.ar. Greetings, Jorge

    Gabriel Perdomo for Hostel Colonial

    Personally I don´t believe that Jorge wants to become in a Travel Blog Star, his blog was name and much people, friends and readers have voted it and they still vote it. I rescue this published phrase in Bloggers Choice Awards homepage :" Vote for your favorite blogs! You can cast a vote because you think the blog is pretty or well-written, or simply because you like the person who created it. Just look for the "Vote" button to the right of each blog and click on it to cast your vote".
    This blog is very good, with a great work on tools, directories and others. Not only Tango and Sky Diving speech, also are brilliant histories, some of which are written in Spanish and for that reason you do not understand them. Regards, Gabriel Perdomo, one of the 564 idiots who voted to this blog.
