The Feel Good Way

Or so it seems. I used to come to Argentina quite often, but I have only been living here  for the last 6 months. Since september it has been raining ‘a lot’ here. Let’s say once a week or at least once very 10 days. I thought, well, I suppose…

When we arrived in Buenos Aires about 6 months ago, there was a lot to do about this Argentine movie. El secreto de tus ojos. Big posters everywhere and a lot of publicity. Unfortunately as my family does not speak Spanish, we didn’t go to see it. But now it’s…

Only about one year ago I hurt my fingers while on holidays in Cannes, France. It was just  a few days before I was supposed to go home  and as I had already had experience with ER in the Cannes hospital I decided to wait to see a doctor until I…
