Carrera de Camareras y Mozos

Every year in Buenos Aires there is an event even more epic than the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain: Running of the WAITERS! No joke, every year there is a race of waiters and waitresses down one of Buenos Aires' main drags. It's absolutely hilarious and apparently taken quite seriously because the prizes at the end are pretty damn nice. It's important to note that they race in their work outfits and with a tray with a bottle and a glass poured (whatever drink company sponsors it), so it's a very steady speedwalk so as not to spill. I fortunately found out about it just in time to head down to Avenida de Mayo and snaps some pictures and a quick video. Pretty random...

(unfortunately there is a really annoying siren in the background of the video, I apologize)
