This is not just my first year in Argentina, this is also my first year living in another country than my home country. In fact I have always lived within a radius of 15 km to the place where I was born. So yes, moving here was something. It was…

Did you guys here in Argentina, notice the weather? I am sure you have : for the 3th day in a row is is grey/cold/drizzling-with-every-now-and-then-a-downpoor. It is supposed to last for another 2 or 3 days. I have taken out my Damart again, my boots and wintercoat. And my umbrella…

We had read in some magazine, that Club Francés has been restored and renewed, and that the restaurant is supposed to be good. The combination of ‘French’ and ‘good restaurant’ made it a must for us to try. After all, Belgian cuisine is, apart from a few regional dishes, the…

I absolutely love driving in Buenos Aires. Although it looks very chaotic, in fact it isn’t : every car that is in front of you has the right of way. So in fact you must only look ahead, see what they are doing and anticipate. This means that you don’t…

Continue reading →: Spring????
Did you also notice that the days are getting longer again? We had 2 or 3 weeks of ‘extreme’* cold which almost froze our ears and hands off, it was colder here then in Antartica ** . So I couldn’t believe my phone this morning when it told me it…

At this moment, you can go to the 124th “La Rural’, which is a Rural exhibition, where livestock and horses are showed (but also cars, food, clothes,…).
