Mar del Plata is awesome. We were planning on staying three nights here, but then we added two extra nights because we are having so much fun; that´s how awesome it is. Ít´s a town on the Atlantic coast, that´s kind of like a laid-back beach town that´s a bit bigger and has sky-scrapers. There isn´t much to do during the day but lounge around, but the night life is INSANE. Argentines are crazy. The clubs don´t even open until 12 am, but people don´t even start going out until 2:30 and it doesn´t get really packed until 4. I asked some Argentine friends why they wouldn´t just go out at 11, why it became a custom to party so late, and they didn´t really have an answer. Basically, the past four nights have been the latest I´ve stayed up, maybe ever. One morning we didn´t leave the dance club until 6 am, and it was still crazy inside. And last night we went out just to have a chill-out night at a bar, and we still didn't get back until 4:30 am. Just crazy. And I'm really impressed with myself for being so hard-core this week, but I'm really glad to take a break for a day or two, especially since I've been averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night.
Other than that there's not a whole lot to do here, besides lounge on the beach, which is a pretty crazy experience considering it's the most crowded beach I have ever seen by far. Just look at the picture below, it's like a "where's waldo" illustration. People watching is also great here, especially for the styles. There are some totally bizarre styles in Argentina, but what takes the cake are the various styles of mullet. So far my favorite was the mullet with braids in the back and buzzed sides, though the mullet of dreadlocks is a pretty close second.
