I've been trying to keep myself busy with things to do outside the house besides eating. This is trickier than you might think because I can't just go to the movies, I have to have nachos. I can't bowl without beer. And I love to sample street food, which generally includes pororo (sweet popcorn) on walks. Going out to eat is my favorite thing.Typically, Rosario shopping doesn't tempt me much. There's not usually a wide selection, nothing spectacular that I have to have, and not much of great value. Plus I hate being bugged by salespeople and having to ask for everything, only to find out that I don't like something. And, inevitably, I'm asked where I'm from and then have to explain why I'm here. Bleh.
But I found this really cool shopping fair. It's a big warehouse space filled with local designers. Cooltura is laid back and easy to peruse. Open every Sunday from 13-19 at Puerte Espana. A perfect alternative to lunching.
I couldn't resist these adorable handmade ballet flats anymore than I could resist a brownie with ice cream. I just eat them up! :) They're by Mujersuela, which may sound a little dirty if you speak Spanish (a mujerzuela is a loose woman), but suela means sole. So it's kinda like sole-woman.
And for 85 pesos, they're quite a steal. That should satisfy my appetite for a while.

How cute are those!? I hear you on the whole shopping thing. Generally, I'm just not into it here for the reasons you mentioned, and I could really use a tape-recorded message about where I'm from, do I like Necochea, etc. But if I had that Cooltura fair, there would be trouble. ;)
Ooh they're lovely.
i love the wood soles! i wish i could find handmade shoes!
ps. this post also reminds me of your "beer or ice cream" dilemna, which also reminds me that there is a hagen daaz 2 blocks from my new place that i need to check out to satisfy my own cravings!
