As Good a Place to Start as Any ...


Since every story has a starting point, I guess any time is a good time to start this kind of attention-seeking, tourist-alienating, semi-schizo blog. No, really, I have no clue where this english-spoken blog is going to take me [us?]. All I know is I don't feel I can express myself 100% in my spanish-speaking blog - and I seem to get very lost among many media analyses and academic constructions. I needed a space to just do what Mr. Rowe, my high-school English teacher, would have called "stream of consciousness". I will just lay it down as it enters my mind, and I hope it's worth something to the readers.


If anything, at least you'll gain some perspective on life in Argentina seen by a local, who has also lived in many different (and all richer) places and can (hopefully) have an enhanced point-of-view, neither overly-proud and protective nor too aloof and indifferent to care. I will discuss politics, economics, and every-day mundane commonalities - those that best depict our culture, probably. I would love to hear [read] your thoughts and have open discussions, as long as it is constructive and well-mannered.

Welcome!
