I just couldn’t help and not open a big grim…
The space was the “buquebus” – the fast ferry that connects Colonia (Uruguay) to Buenos Aires (Argentina) – the place the duty free shop. While moving around the several rows of things to buy I start noticing the great affluence of men to one of the sections of the commercial area. It was where all the testers were of “eau de toilette” and they were properly using them, shoving down loads of spray.
It looked like a weird ritual. Really looking Latino men (i.e. with hair sticking out of their open shirts, with their gold necklace and bracelets really “bling” guise, with the hair pulled back with gel) coming in, and going straight to the tester and “PSSSSHHHHHH” down it goes… and it was one after the other! I was just out of the picture observing the episode and smiling, thinking I could easily be in Portugal. Sometimes I like to do this, step out and just analyse the “human behaviour”.
After I just bought a bottle of Crave by Calvin Klein – US$32, amusement included!
Guess I also want to get a bit Machus latinus..
