Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Posted by Rick Kappra. Monday, September 29, 2008. A Day Without Vertigo. One thing about being sick is that it helps you to appreciate health. Today I was almost ecstatic because I had a fairly normal day. I felt balanced and clear-headed and didn't have to take any meclizine. It was a lovely day. I watched Byron Katie on Oprah. Oprah h...

Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Yesterday I wore myself out showing her around. Today I'm going to try not to walk as much. So anyway, I met Diane, who was raring to go after 20 hours of travel. We went to La Payuca, a parilla near her apartment, for lunch. She had a steak and I had a few bites. It was perfect! By this point in the day we needed ice cream, so we went to my ...

Out and About in Buenos Aires: August 2008
http://rickinargentina.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Sunday, August 31, 2008. Today was one of the best Sundays I've ever had. It felt very complete, it was relaxing, fun and interesting. They destroyed all of the old colonial buildings to construct the neo-classical European style buildings of Avenida de Mayo. It really is classic Buenos Aires. The guy sat down and when we placed our order, he placed his, but then when h...

Out and About in Buenos Aires: November 2008
http://rickinargentina.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Saturday, November 29, 2008. Today I had my last Arabic class. I brought a ricotta rice pie since my classmate Claudia has been reading my blog and found out I brought one to my Italian class. Plus, I like making it. Next I am going to try making the ricotta pie with pineapple. I have a can of pineapple here waiting for me to open it. Yum! I love pineapple and cheese.

Back in Argentina: Happy and Sad
http://rickinargentina2.blogspot.com/2008/11/happy-and-sad.html
Reflections of a language learner and cultural adventurer maneuvering a familiar yet foreign landscape. Friday, November 7, 2008. Before I went to bed, I checked the status of Proposition 8, which was on the California ballot. It looked like it was winning. When I woke up on Wednesday morning, after only 4 hours sleep, I checked again. It looked like Proposition 8 had won. Posted by Rick Kappra. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Saturday, December 27, 2008. Today we met halfway between our apartments and took a taxi to Gurrachaga and Cordoba. There is a shoestore on Gurrachaga that Lorena said I might like, and Diane wanted to go to the Prune outlet on Gurrachaga, but on the other side of Cordoba. I figured we could do both and then I'd show her around the Palermos. Oui Oui is a very cute littl...

Back in Argentina: Cultural Adjustment
http://rickinargentina2.blogspot.com/2008/10/cultural-adjustment.html
Reflections of a language learner and cultural adventurer maneuvering a familiar yet foreign landscape. Friday, October 17, 2008. This week I felt like I moved into the best phase of culture shock - adjustment. This is the time that life in a new culture begins to feel almost like home - with good days and bad days. It is different from that time at the beginning when everything is exciting, and not the same as that time when everything is really difficult. I like the adjustment phase. I think this is cr...

Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Saturday, December 27, 2008. Adventures With Diana - continued. After soaking my legs and feet in a warm bath on Thursday night and again yesterday morning, I was ready to pound the tiled sidewalks again with Diana (that is what we call her here). Oh, I forgot, she is Diana now. By the time we got to Volta I was ready for a rest so we ducked in and had small ice creams&...

Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Last Post from Buenos Aires This Year. I'm up very early today. Not sure why I can't sleep, but it's good, as I have a chance to write one more blog post before I leave. After my massage I went to the plaza outside of Facultad de Medicina to buy a few more mates for someone, I don't know who. I like the mates that this guy Walter sells. Herna...

Out and About in Buenos Aires: May 2008
http://rickinargentina.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Out and About in Buenos Aires. Adventures of a temporary ex-pat living, studying, learning, dancing and making mistakes in Buenos Aires. Sunday, May 11, 2008. It has been almost a year since I found myself preparing to visit Argentina for the first time. Then, I knew little about Argentina. Now, as I prepare to return, this time for 5 months, I feel like I am returning home - going back to a place that is familiar. And then I returned home. Did the twin towers collapse only from the impact of the planes ...
