The Feel Good Way

Today I went to the Malba. Some time ago there was an exhibition of Andy Warhol that was not really worth a visit, but now there is an exhibition of Grete Stern that is really good. She made photomontages with black and white photos that are really nice. She was…

Having visitors from Belgium means it is time to act the tourist. As my mother has visited Buenos Aires a couple of times, she has seen all the ‘classics’ and we needed to get some alternatives. So we asked our friend José, (who happens to have a travel agency) and…

Everyone in Argentina will have noticed. This year they are celebrating their 200th year of independence. There will be a lot of festivities this year, and this is one of them. Together with Chile, Argentina  has organised this   bicentennial regatta. About 12  beautiful old sailboats are participating in a…

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…

Yes I knew this story was to be continued… I found out that there is something more important than communication. It is so fundamental that I never even questioned it. It is electricity. If in Belgium we were out of electricity they talk about it in the news. Here it…

There is always this discusion about whether Argentina is a 1st or 3th world country. A lot of people think this is a 1st world, but once in a while we wake up from our dream and realise it is 3th world. How do you measure this? What does a…
