The Argentinean Pirate: Boca Lago Takes San Vicente by Storm

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2009/02/boca-lago-takes-san-vicente-by-storm.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Boca Lago Takes San Vicente by Storm. I love old people. So with a rummy tournament and South America's biggest bingo game, you can imagine that I basically had one of the best weekends ever. We begin Friday night at Club Bochazo, an outdoor restaurant/mini sports complex. We were there for the Perrera (dog shelter) fundraiser, a rummy tournament with a 2 peso buy-in.

The Argentinean Pirate: March 2009

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. So Here's the Deal with Floggers. The Tedster recently sent me a. Article about floggers. After writing my very long email response, I figured I should share with the world the TRUE significance of floggers and Cumbio. Of the floggers is definitely true, but floggers are not putos (gays). As much as Cumbio and the floggers are disliked in the Argentinean mainstream, it's hard to understate their influence. The colorful shirts,...

The Argentinean Pirate: December 2008

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. I've come in contact with a number of characters over my few months here; Augustin Naif is one of the most memorable. I met Augustin and his wife Angela at a Rotary meeting. They are both long-time members - Augustin is in his sixties and I think he was one of the founding members of the San Vicente club. He often jokes about his Santa Clause gut, but eats the. Later in the afternoon he showed me around his factory, his farm and ...

The Argentinean Pirate: Nietzche and Sutzche

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2009/02/nietzche-and-sutzche.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Sunday, February 1, 2009. People I've met in the last two weeks:. Daniella Ferrier: the new exchange student in San Vicente from New Zealand. Pieri Romitto: self-proclaimed Communist; future political science major at a university in Santa Fe capital; does not own cell phone because it is an agent of capitalist globalization. Los Palmeras: my favorite Argentine cumbia band; I heard them play in San Vicente months ago and I got to hear them again last weekend.

The Argentinean Pirate: Manhattanophilia

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2009/02/manhattanophilia.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Saturday, February 28, 2009. The trip to Buenos Aires and Bariloche with my parents was lovely. I also saw Daniella for the first time in two weeks, which was lovely. Last week she was in Mar del Plata with her host family, so for the first time in a month or so I was the lone exchange student of San Vicente. I had a lovely enough time, but she adds a special spunk to the usually tranquil San Vicente. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Word on the Street.

The Argentinean Pirate: October 2008

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Friday, October 31, 2008. Here's a story which I think accurately sums up my experience in Argentina so far:. Which turned out to be a wonderful thing! The church was also worth seeing. Like the church in San Vicente, la Iglesia de San Rafaela towers above the other buildings in town. The doors were open as I passed by and I glanced at the altar (I think it's called) which put every Torah ark I've ever seen to shame. Thursday, October 30, 2008. At first, I ...

The Argentinean Pirate: November 2008

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Friday, November 28, 2008. Babs, Gabs and Mr. West: my Thanksgiving. While there was no turkey for me yesterday, I did have a distinctly American Thanksgiving. FINALLY, I made it to Rosario. My Rotary counselor picked me up at around 9:30 in the morning, and we made the hour and half drive with her mother, daughter and nephew. Next big adventure: I found the Kanye glasses I've been looking for the last six months! High School Musical 3! On the ride home, my...

The Argentinean Pirate: August 2008

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Saturday, August 30, 2008. And All We Needed Was Christine. You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life.". Indeed I did, ABBA. Indeed, I did. Once we arrived back at Fede's house, nearly everyone was there, out of their school uniforms and into their boliche outfits. Franco and Fede served the asado almost as courses - ribs, steak and sausage one followed by another. Clearly they didn't get the message that I am a 75-year-old Jewish grandfather.

The Argentinean Pirate: Dirty Vegas

http://argentineanpirate.blogspot.com/2009/01/dirty-vegas.html

The Adventures of an American Exchange Student. Thursday, January 22, 2009. Days go by and still.". Here is a brief account of the last few days. Was a fantastic day. Here's basically how my inauguration day went. Later that evening I rode my bici (I have a bike now! To Nadia's house to celebrate her birthday. It was a lovely night with mis amigos, the usual suspects (Fede, Franco, Migue, Ezequiel, Roci, Yami, Luisi, Sofy and Nadia), haciendo boludeces in the plaza until the early hours of morning. We al...
