To the man in Iraq that threw a shoe at president Bush:
I assume you will be punished, but it shouldn´t be so. Thank you.

I found out yesterday that every argentinian person i know is a bush fan and they don´t like Obama. I feel so alienated. It makes sense, it´s very conservative here.

It´s business time, flight of the conchords is getting me through it.

enjoy the snow!

Random stuff i remembered...
a few days before i left brazil my dad was on his daily walk and he saw a little kid get his bike stolen by a guy with a machete!

there was a big demonstration, protest here and i went to a different neighborhood to go to the doctor. I got there just fine, but no taxi would take people back to my neighbor hood when i was done. My friend and I stood on the street for i think close to an hour when we found out what the issue was. The subway was also closed. I ended up taking a bus for the first time. The usual 10-15 min ride was an hour because the protestors had closed down so many streets. I saw demonstration later on the news and there were thousands of pèople there. They were in the Plaza de Mayo fighting against hunger.
