How to spend twenty million dollars making an ad in a remote village in Argentina. Guiness did just that. The video and location are spectacular.

I remember a conversation I had once with a work colleague about the World Cup. Only a few teams have ever won it - Uruguay is one of them…

It seemed simple enough to get to San Antonio de Areco from La Plata, a relatively easy journey of 150 kilometres or so by bus in 2-3 hours from La Plata. In a country with so many cities a 20-40 hour bus trip from the capital, this is short.  What we didn’t realise, until it [...]

Last Sunday we took the bus from La Plata to Buenos Aires to visit the neighbourhoods of La Boca and San Telmo. La Boca (Spanish for ‘The Mouth’) is a working class barrio (‘neighbourhood’) on the mouth of the Río Riachuelo known for it’s colourful wooden houses, it’s football team (Boca Juniors) and for being [...]

Today in Tupiza (and all over Bolivia I’m told) there were schoolkids playing organised sports in the streets, men from the army running up and down, and drummers and a band. It was a kind of protest, because FIFA had decided that no more world cup qualifiers could be played in Bolivia, as the visiting [...]

My routine in Tupiza has become something like this: wake up in the morning, have breakfast, wander around the town a little, meet up with Lili (who is staying in her aunt’s house), have lunch in her aunt’s house (where I get to try out typical Bolivian food), rest for a while and watch tv, [...]

My first day in Bolivia started with the bus trip from Humahuaca to La Quiaca, the Argentinian town that borders Bolivia. After Humahuaca the road gradually rose (La Quiaca is over 3600 metres above sea level) and passed between the colouful, twisted rock formations of the Andes and through the dreary towns of Tres Cruces [...]
