Daily Pictures of Buenos Aires

Plastic surgery and a coffee?

A quiet street in the district Belgrano, not so far from home. On week-ends, it is pleasant to walk by Belgrano and its quiet streets, which are also very green. The restaurant in the picture is called “Piacere”, a franchise store known for good coffee, sandwiches, and quality pastries. And on top of the restaurant, there’s a plastic surgery office. South America is becoming the new place for plastic surgeries, of course Brazil still is the #1 country for that, but because Argentina’s cost of living is more affordable for the tourists, people more and more are coming down here. Not so long ago, did I hear about a woman living in the U.K. and traveling all the way to Buenos Aires for a plastic intervention. As a Frommer’s reports says: Cosmetic and dental surgery in the United States is so expensive that it’s simply out of reach to most people, whereas in a number of other countries, predominantly in South America and Asia, costs are considerably lower.
