Can Ghonnerrea Lay Dormant For 15 Years?

Adventures of a "gashego in Uruguay




Let me clarify a few things: the" gashego "me though born in the middle plains of La Mancha. In short, all are English Galician Uruguay and Argentina, that is that mine has no merit. What's "adventures" is unquestionably poetic license, because Uruguay quiet place that is hard to find on the surface of this planet (and possibly some other). Well, any risks, as I explain later, I was not impacientéis, palace things go slowly. It is also true that the black man raped the Maga Irenaeus in a tenement in Montevideo, but it too well. If we consider that Maga was fifteen when she was raped, that must have been about twenty when he met Horacio Oliveira in Paris and the romantic event to take place around 1957, this means making some fifty-odd years after the event. No way to recognize on the street at this point. Also, Cortázar and left us for years, meaning that we can not ask.

Well colleagues, because after this torrent of scholarship Cortazarian (I understand that I have since reread "Rayuela" in these circinstancias) relatare step stuff.

Finally, let me return for a moment "Rayuela" Maga account when you dislike the arcades of the Plaza Independencia in Montevideo. The truth is that I had to go to the dictionary of Argentina to find out what was an arcade and I understood it as a porch. Salvo Palace (pictured), the most notable building Montevieo, it does arcades:




But, I did not bother me much. I found much worse the atrocities they have done in putting a square ugliest buildings enabling environment, as this is behind the statue of Artigas:





Finally, there every one that there will be a gashego who tell how they have to be buildings, pussy.

And it, and I am going to talk about the dangers to visitors in Uruguay. The most serious is for your Visa card. If you appreciate something your monthly balance, it is you happen to pass through the streets of Montevideo Sarandi. And if you pass, do not look at jewelry stores, hump. Especially when, oh dear, you are the female and you go with a specimen of this genre, because the Uruguayan amethysts are Remonda, it is true. And then begins casters "are not spending, we are saving," "do you know how cost a stone well in Europe? , etc, etc. Do not say that I have not been warned. Avoid this store in particular:




addition, the owner is charming, meaning that if you give by hodidos you dare to enter.
quite memo
Another risk is that whatever you than me. I had rented a car in Punta del Este to go to Montevideo. Plas, plas, 140 km and pull! you have arrived. And where I put the car now in the middle? for in a car, marry. Looking for a car park, arrive, take over the car keys to give them a receipt and you'll enjoy Montevideo. Magnificent. come back several hours later , teach your bill ... and is the fatal question: plate number?. Shit, because even the idea repajolera. You can imagine the ensuing dialogue: "As is so tiny, and dark, etc, etc." . Good thing should be accustomed to such outrages, because it came after fifteen minutes.

And finally, eye to driving on the roads, not because people are mad at the wheel as in Buenos Aires or because they are dangerous. Is there a sign saying: "Required the use of low beam 24 hours a day." Menda, interpreted the "low lights" are the lights. Not really. No Sir. Lights are normal so the cop stopped me on my way back to Punta del Este and I read the book carefully, explaining what they were such "low lights." Luckily I went away with it, just with a row (and one already used to the fights).

Well, in short, Uruguay is a magnificent and peaceful country and Montevideo is a city to live, rather than to visit, with beaches clean and quiet to Laito same center. And you can relax as these swimmers of Punta del Este. Another day I will tell them:




A greetings to all

How To Replace Rca D52w14 Flyback

Eat in Rio de Janeiro? Easy, with tips on tangos




Well, dear friends. I'll disappear for a few days. Not that I'm going to blend, but almost. I go to South America. I've decided it's a good place, so I'm going. Okay, I hear your cries, lamentations, wailing, complaints and other rumbling through my ultrapoderes ultrasensoriales, metapsíquicos and pataphysical ... but no, do not worry. Sorokin not going to leave you alone in this turbulent period and somewhat confusing. Simply, I'm a couple of weeks in Argentina and Uruguay, cool, cool. And this time .. Estremecéos with envy!, I'm on vacation. Is that I liked it and had lost around a few miles from the Lufthansa card. And whether you believe it as if not, it works: you get free tickets if you have enough miles. Then, in terms of hotels and such, because as you can get by you there. I'll tell you.

But, before disappearing into the mist, my sense of responsibility drives me to give you tips on eating highs in Rio de Janeiro, will not be that you have to go away there with urgency and you do not know where to calm your hunger. First, I must say that everyone who gave me advice (or almost), was Lucinda, the receptionist at our hotel. A wonderful woman. I do not put a picture, because if not, will you stop reading this post and look only at her. So, no, no photo of Lucinda.

First day we sent the "Shirley" in Leme (Leme is like Copacabana, but on the other side of the tunnel Botafogo). Is supposed to be the only English restaurant in Rio, despite its name is nothing, nothing, Cani. Has an excellent fish:





The next day we sent a rodicio which is next to the Copacabana Palace. Look out, as is usual in Rodicio, rolling of pure fat. The most shocking was the piranha soup. The photo I put in the header. Hey, what else just to eat some fish if you can you eat?

the third day. Ah, the third day! went to a Resturante Tai, "Shawasdee" in Leblon. It was my birthday (take note, to see if next year You invite me to something.) As I went to the toilet, my colleague has ordered a cake with a candle. What nice. Complete with singing waiters japibirdaituyú, etc.




Another day, we went to "Satyricon", in Ipanema. It's another price range, what I am going to say anything else. Excellent fish and fine wines.




And apart from the advice of Lucinda, recoating other restaurants to calméis your guides will walk if confused by Rio One Center, "Mocambo"




took us there after a meeting. Is in center. It is a restaurant that looks to be lifelong. Before you start to open his mouth to ask for water, I fill the table bollinhos de queijo, cod fritters, etc and get to the food exhausted. I recommend you a fish called "Bijupirá" swearing that was fine. Well, I keep my opinion.

Another, in Botafogo, "Real Astoria." It has a English and a buffet lunch. Are best caipirinhas and the view of the bay of Botafogo:



But in the end, dear buddies. If you have worms, are the two in the afternoon, you walk by Copacabana you, makes you want to get warmth and not pifos .. you can always order some onion rings in one of the beach bars. With caipirinha, of course:







Well, kisses. I took the laptop, for that go on vacation, so to return.

What Do They Do On Dia De Simon Bolivar

Sorokin, steaks and sausage malevos



Well, my dear readers excited, here I am again back to the capital of Europe, with sixteen hours of travel behind me. Do you see my spirit of dedication and sacrifice? Do you percatáis in full scourge of jet-lag, longing strongly that it's time to get into the envelope, I sit on the Mac keyboard and I write postpartum? The truth is that I have said, Sorokin, or do it now or the thing can get "calandam graecam ad, you already know, bird. So here I am.

title Do not listen, because I have many things to say about outlaws, some more about tangos and chorizo \u200b\u200benough about steaks, what happens is that the title is an Alexandrian well as fourteen syllables with two hemistiches, and setback would be a churro Do you see, ceporrillos? to "on steak with sausage, tangos and hoodlums" sounds fatal?. It also has fourteen syllables but music is like a kick in the trigeminal nerve.

Come then go with the steak sausage. I have followed exactly the advice you gave me Madame Delikat, head of one of my favorite blogs:

(DelikatEssences.blogspot.com) and I convinced my colleagues to go to "La Brigada"





nearly so successful that I have not gotten them out of there. In fact we went twice and now I will explain why, do not be impatient. The first night they had ribeye (Delikat recommendation), so we had to content himself with a steak sausage:




Anyway, as you can see we were five, not that everyone eat two steaks. The truth is that they were to get to howl at the moon looked like. We also found a wine from Mendoza, really good:




And this was a discovery for me, because until now had never found a Malbec that I liked, but this was, as the French say "pee du Bon Dieu "(not translate, hey, maybe someone is angry.) I brought a bottle, "properly wrapped in dirty shirts that will not break-in the case. has arrived safely, traquilizáos. Also, maybe the shirts will give additional taste.

The second time went by accident. DelikatEssences I had also recommended "The cabin of the lily" in Puerto Madero. I convinced them to go, and left the reception in charge of booking a table for five, while we pushed us around Quilmes in "Crank" (we recommend cafe in Recoleta). All of a sudden, violent storm broke out, so we went in two taxis, after finishing cervezota. We arrived at the famous cottage and had no reserves or mothers. Sapristi! and rain beating down, and my colleagues in organizing the Caine Mutiny, "we want to go to the Brigade and let the shit" (they said in English, because there the only one who spoke Castilian was server, I translate for you to see what state of mind they were). Total, two taxis in the rain, and the Brigade. This time I had rib eye ... but I prefer steak chorizo. The wine, as good as the previous day.

As to tango, we did the tourist stupid and provincial. The ineffable hotal reception, to ingratiate himself with us after the fiasco of the previous day ("if I said there was no place, but you were gone, etc, etc") are recommended "The old store." There were two possibilities: with dinner and no dinner. My colleague Ynte, measuring two meters, said that no meal was not going anywhere. Turn then to dinner. Caro and Light. The show, well, that, tango. Very well danced and such, but for tourists. Japanese masses, gringos, etc. Argentina had some, because when the animator wanted to sing to the public "back" was heard a few threads of voice and runny people in the audience.

won a photo (without flash, of course):



top, when we went to go Dutch, one of the bills that we were told it was false. Finally, the truth is I was pretty well done. Here's the picture I did with the ticket to celebrate such an interesting event:



But, hey, I am sure you would like more the singing and dancing tango in La Boca. They are also for tourists, but they look more genuine (I do not accept rude comments, please)





And I'll cut the roll, I'm getting cake, I is getting hungry and I can get so heavy as my colleague Ynte with that dinner. Only comment that I was very impressed with a trade unknown to me: dogs. What things have in Buenos Aires. At first I was very surprised to see people with a pack of friends of man in the street, until a taxi driver explained to me: are dedicated to walking dogs for people who can not get them out. This photo we saw him again for night, as seen in the second image and the dogs look the same, meaning that they spend the day with the litany:







and nothing else, I'm going. I leave you with a picture of a cafe in Recoleta. The truth is that I have in Buenos Aires at home. I am willing to return as needed.
