End of the line for historic Buenos Aires trains

Posted: 30 Dec 2012 08:07 PM PST

Buenos Aires is putting the brakes on one of its most historic pieces of public transport -- the wooden "La Brugeoise" cars of the city subway system's Line A. 

Opened on December 1, 1913, Buenos Airies Metro's Line A was the first subway line to operate in the southern hemisphere, featuring trains made by Belgian company La Brugeoise et Nicaise et Delcuve between 1912 and 1919. 

Today, the trains are among the world's oldest still in regular commercial service.

Nobody does it like the Dutch: Whether for late-night snacks or relaxing in the afternoon, here's where the locals chill

If you've been to the capital of the Netherlands, you've seen those joints -- the ones we want to avoid. Overpriced big plaza cafés packed with loud customers -- easy to find, but nothing to do with the real charm of Amsterdam.

If you want to meet "Amsterdammers" and experience the city's café culture you have to look beyond the ubiquitous coffee shops and English pubs.

Think not miserable potheads and trustifarians; instead we're on a quest for the city's easygoing waterside terraces, singing bartenders (no, really) and high-class cocktail bars.
