All points to an unfortunate repeat of previous accidents. Does anybody care?

Is it only me that shudders every time I have to do a "trámite"? Today I had to go to the AFIP and there was no light. If that were the only problem...

Apparently we have an early start or a preview of spring. Wonderful for our spirits!

Is it my impression, or the daily violence suffered by people close to us has been rising lately?

I was wondering if San Martín were alive today, what would our need for freedom be?

I see we're in our second tango week. Any recommendations if I had to go to one event?

What a relief!

Amazed at the creativity, organisation and technical perfection of the ceremony. Quite stimulating!

Another week without subways? How much will people stand it? How long until someone explodes? Somebody has got to put a stop to this, and quick.

All week long, and no solution in sight, everybody blaming everybody (of course, they don't have to travel like we do). Something very, very wrong with this system...

Quite worrying to have train accidents again, even though much less damaging than the Once disaster. Let's hope nothing similar happens!

All controls on sensitive indicators as currency usually backfire, but is this a special case in view of our bad 2001 experience, to keep (more) money from leaving the country? Isn't it promoting more consumption at the expense of savings/investment?

A friend of mine visiting is needing to know if there are church services in English, preferably Catholic but can be other Christian.

So now we know that prisoners - even dangerous ones - might not be in prison but perhaps sharing "cultural" activities with us. Quite scary, isn't it?

Wonderful opening ceremony, great creativity and clockwork functioning. Really enjoyed it!

Some days ago a person who travels a lot and who is not an Argentine commented on the level of stress he perceived every time he arrived in Buenos Aires. Maybe we here have grown accustomed to it and don't realize it and that's why we take if for granted.

Just thinking of how many days with sun we have in winter in Buenos Aires, and the great change it makes! If you ask me, I prefer cold with sun to heat with clouds (or rain).

CFK, Moyano, Scioli, Clarín once friends, then enemies and then friends again? Can we believe any of them? Should we take them seriously at least in their relationships? Uhmmm...

Will the mortgage housing plans announced by the Buenos Aires City and national governments succeed? Will they cover the needs? Why only now? Too many questions...

I just found out there is a local branch of L'Arche, the Jean Vanier organisation for mentall handicapped. A good volunteering opportunity. Anybody knows of others that can be recommended?
