So. This is another truly remarkable building in the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires. Now, one could be easily fooled by the title, couldn’t one?

Two cities on the western side of South America, two countries that share a border, Quito and Lima both have good and bad sides.

I know what you’re thinking. Andrew is doing this city rumble simply because the names are so similar. And you’re pretty much right! It was 2004 that I set out to cross by land (as much as was reasonable) from Dhaka, in Bangladesh, to Dakar, in Senegal. It was a journey I sort of changed …
