Other Perspectives

For lots more information about Buenos Aires and Argentine news and culture, check out this website, "Good Airs" . It's written by two American reporters who moved to Buenos Aires in 2005. They have several interesting new links, including a YouTube video recently put together by the mayor of Buenos Aires which shows very negative aspects of the city. I tend to only post positive images on this website, and therefore although I've seen much of what that video shows (except for the violence) you won't see those pictures here.

There is a link to a great article on food in Argentina called "Argentina On Two Steaks a Day" which made me laugh, especially the parts about the sugar/sweeteners and the coffee. They also write about the drug "paco," which several of you have asked me about after hearing about it in the news in the U.S. On their blog they point out several interesting aspects to this "news" including plagiarism from older articles.
