WillandShirley's Blog (13)

Hola,

I'm trying to write a blog post about Macri, and I've read up on him a bit. As I understand it he has a strong business background, which might be good for us expats trying to do business here. But I've also heard that he may be a corrupt mafioso...

What's your perspective on the guy...?

Thanks,

Will

Coppola visits La Colifata radio
Yesterday, prestigious movie director Francis Ford Coppola visited La Colifata radio, which broadcasts programmes made by the inmates of the José Borda psychiatric hospital. After spending the afternoon accompanied by the patients, Coppola confirmed that in his next movie, that will be filmed in Buenos Aires in 2008, one of the actors will be an inmate of the institution.

Diva, over at bitchtours.com, broke the story: http://bitchtours.blogspot.com/2007/05/just-say-no.html

We prefer Argentine coffee, but I'm embarrassed to say that we'll probably go there every now and again to get some umbrella juice on the run...

As most of you probably noticed, the taxis were all taken and the traffic horrendous yesterday...

In his latest post Alan Patrick shows how much use of the term 'Buenos Aires' has increased in just the last two years: http://www.buenostours.com/buenos-aires-is-hot-and-cool#more-118

I knew BA's online popularity and exposure was increasing, but didn't have any stats to back it up...

I'd like to draw attention to a useful post at Cesar's blog:

We've found the Retiro station to be intimidating/confusing. This post was helpful.

We changed that profile question about TV to one about your occupation... So, if you're telling people your occupation is Scooby-Doo and Seinfeld... you may want to change that.

We couldn't resist posting this after we saw it...

We have a friend in town and we're going out tonight somewhere in Palermo Viejo, I think... We haven't decided where exactly, I'm leaning towards that Club 9 place... Any ideas?

Cheers!

We've added RSS feeds from BA Craigslist... the first for real estate because we love looking at available properties... the next is for jobs because those are always good to have... See below.

Yes, I know... the ranks of the BA Social Club are a bit thin at the moment, but never fear, we're going to be a vibrant and exciting community in no time flat...

What does the BA Social Club do?

Good question! And the answer is that you can join and find out... What we're trying to do is present a more visible and fun online social option for English-speakers in BA. We'll make of it what we will!

Cheers!
