The Age Old Art of PDA

Mmmm...doesn´t it make ya feel good to see people that can express themselves so freely and openly in the public corridor. I know in the States making out in public has some negative connotations attached to it and is usually considered to be in poor taste. I mean you get the odd drunk couple making out at the bar, but that's usually blamed on everybody´s favorite friend the booze - sweet, delicious, wonderfully appetizing boooze. Anyway, not the story in Buenos Aires. Porteños(B.A. residents) have no problem whatsoever throwing down everything and straight up getting after it wherever they may be. In the park, on the street, at the club, on the grass, against a building, on a blanket, with the dog watching, in the morning, after work, during lunch, during work, at class, waiting in line, at the grocery store, eating breakfast, pretty much everywhere - its a wide spread and highly celebrated phenomenon. Passion in its most primal state - well almost most primal state. Free, unadulterated, public displays of affection...gotta love it!

Not sure yet if this is a Latino trend or specific to Buenos Aires, but heading to Uruguay this weekend for the chance to compare/contrast.
