Sometimes Facebook brings you to places you have never been, and gets you to meet people you normally wouldn’t. That’s what happened to me anyway. When a friend of mine posted “ojalá que mis amigos de Buenos Aires puedan ir a la presentación del libro de mi hermano!” (maybe one…

Moving at the speed of light, is not really something that you would say is a good description of something Argentine. On the contrary. Sometimes things can go so slow here that only a very high portion of patience can keep you going. A friend of mine says that God…

In Buenos Aires there are often free concerts organised. From Ballet to Classical music and other performances or cultural activities. This week there was a ballet performance by the contemporary ballet of Teatro San Martin, directed by the choreographer Mauricio Wainrot (former choreographer of ‘Het Ballet Van Vlaanderen” (ballet of…

After a long silence I figured it’s about time I start writing again. I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, traveled to the first world. It had been a while since I was there, more then a year actually. I didn’t really miss it I must say, but when…

After yesterday, when we left the appartment, we glanced up to the sky in fear. We couldn’t believe it. The sky was dark again! But this time we were armed with umbrellas (plural), sweaters, jackets. Another camera (sorry not really suited for the occasion but better then nothing) in another…

It had gotten cloudy when my husband picked me up to go to the Polo Finals. I suggested I’d go back upstairs and get an umbrella but then we decided not to : we were running late. Sitting in the taxi I realised the sky was really dark and it…
