Vamos Argentina ! (or what Argentines do when they win the 1/8th finals)
I wonder, when they act like this when they have just got into the 1/4th finals, what will they do when they get into the 1/2th finals? I really look forward seeing them beat the Germans next week, and hope there is a lot more to come! Vamos Argentinaaaaa!

Vamos Argentina ! (or how I experienced the first 2 games played and won, by my new home country)
As we were out of town we had no TV so we went shopping for groceries when Argentina started playing against Nigeria. Only the shops where they had a TV were open, and everyone was watching. Other shops were closed, without putting a note. It’s obvious why they were closed. While taking our orders, the…

Time for a “wePhone”? (via pretty/curious)
I just found out how the Reblog function works, and bumped into this article, which is so true! Many people ask me why we have moved to a third world country. Once being part of the first world, and now living in the 3th world, I realise that Jessica (see blog at bottom) is so…

Le Croissant Français

Vamos, vamos, Argentinaaa!!!!
Even footbal haters like myself, we can’t get past it : The mundial is almost starting. In Belgium Footbal is the national sport, everyone plays or at least, watches it.

From lawyer and doctor, to taxidriver and shopkeper, or just everyone you meet in the street. Mostly they just talk bad, and hardly ever talk about what should be done to change everything, they only…

Is the Air in Buenos Aires Good?
Buenos Aires means ‘good air’ in Spanish, but does that mean that when the Spanish arrived here, they thought that the Air was Good? It seems like it! Also many friends or aquantancies of mine like to joke about that : “is the air good in Buenos Aires?”, they like to ask. That the air…

Jardín Botánico (Cárlos Thays)
The Botanical garden is situated between Santa Fe and Las Heras. It is quite small, and compared to the Rosedal, it does not have this peace and quiet… the noisy traffic is very present. When I first visited it in 2003 it was neglected, I thought it was because of the crisis, but now it…
