Although the majority of the Argentines love to spend the month of January and/or February on the Argentine, Uruguayan or Brazilian beaches, that is not really my cup of tea. I don’t like crowded beaches. And I don’t like to sunbathe. This year I got to pick out our holiday…

When you live in the first world, you take everything for granted. When you live in the third world you are convinced that everything in the first world always goes smoothly. How common it is that a taxi driver, fussing about something, tells you : ‘I am sure this does…

Although it’s -5C today, it feels like -16C. But the sun is out! This is my favourite winter weather, very similar to BA winter, although there we should probably have to add a couple of degrees. I had decided not to complain about the weather anymore, but it turns out…

I have been receiving complaints for not having posted anything lately. It is just that not just my body, but also my brains seem to have been paralysed. Paralysed from the constant heat. The weather has been “exceptionally stable” (read : hot) for the last few months, and it’s even…

Did you know that TinTin is Belgian? He is! He comes from the French, southern part though, not the Flemish part where I come from, although many Flemish (including my own kids) thinks he does. Fortunately, apart from French, he speaks very well English. At least if you go to…
