Buenos Aires has a thriving nightlife with chock-full restaurants at midnight and bounteous possibilities for 24-hours partying. If you head to the neighborhood Palermo you will find crowded nightclubs, or boliches, as the Argentine call them. The custom is to meet your friends at a pre party, la previa, around 9 or 10. Then, when the night turns 2 o’clock in the morning it is time to hit the clubs, and there, the dancing continues until well after sunrise. The nocturnal city scene is not only for people in their 20s though, the streets get strolled by the very grown up part of the population too. What about ice cream with grandma at 00.30 a.m.? Or going to the theater or movies at 11 p.m.? Dinner at a restaurant could perfectly start at 11 p.m. And by no means before 9 p.m.  A wedding will always last until 06 a.m.

Recently the students had there final exam of the year and Kulturstudier arranged a little party with pizza and beer in a sort of hidden terrace bar in Palermo. Nothing like a boliche luckily, but after a semester in Buenos Aires, a good way to dance to the latin hits under the full moon before going back to Scandinavia for Christmas, or start traveling in Latin America. All pictures are from that night.
