About a ten minute walk from El Caminito is an icon of La Boca, Estadio Alberto J. Armando, or more commonly known as La Bombonera (The Chocolate Box). This is the home of the Boca Juniors football team whose blue and yellow colors influence a lot of the color schemes in La Boca in Buenos Aires.
The biggest barrio in Buenos Aires without question is Palermo. It’s so big, it’s broken into sub-districts. Most of Palermo is a residential district, but if you like outdoor recreation or a relaxing walk in a park, then this is a good place for you to visit.
Back in December, without any expectations and just for fun, I entered the lottery for FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 tickets. There is less than a 10% chance to get tickets to a game for anyone entering the lottery. I requested tickets for all three of Greece’s group stage games with a friend. Again, the chances of even getting tickets to ONE game was slim to none.
If there’s one thing I love more than travel, it’s hockey, and I take the Chicago Blackhawks with me everywhere I go.
When I had a chance to get cheap tickets to see Kasımpaşa vs Galatasaray at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu), I couldn’t refuse.
My favorite football team in the entire world is Olympiakos. I’ve been following them since I was a kid. When I saw online that Olympiakos was playing PAOK during my trip to Athens, my eyes lit up.
Set strikingly on the side of a tall mountain is Krujë, the scene of Albania’s national moment of glory. It was here that the legend of Albanian hero Gjergj Kastrioti, aka Skënderbej, was born.
From Old Montréal (Vieux-Montréal), I hopped on the nearest metro line and made my way to Olympic Park (Parc Olympique). This is where the 1976 Summer Olympics took place. There are several events year-round held at the park and stadium.
