Pop-culture

Pop culture happenings in Argentina in 2009:

The Dakar Rally, previously known as the Paris-Dakar, will move to Argentina and Chile in January 2009, starting and ending in Buenos Aires. Sadly, the reason it is moving here is due to Al Qaeda-linked killings of tourists in Mauritania.

Sandra Bullock to film Kiss and Tango in Buenos Aires in 2009.

Fun fact: both my street and the street my apartment faces are cobblestone, which makes for a lovely sound as the cars pass over it. A little trickier to walk on, but very cool.
