A Argentina é um país que me fascina. A luz do Sul, o Lago Argentino, os glaciares, a imensidão das pampas, a puna e norte desértico, a serra cordobesa, o caminho de Mendoza até Uspallata ou "…mi Bueno Aires querido", são recordações que me assaltam demasiadas vezes. Buenos Aires é-me mais familiar que Lisboa (e não, não é nenhuma boca, gosto muito de Lisboa) e cada tanto, sinto uma urgência em lá voltar e ver os amigos. Os Argentinos, neste caso os Porteños, são pessoas especiais. Óptimos anfitriões, barulhentos (elas, são lindíssimas ainda que algo histéricas), nostálgicos e excelentes conversadores que me faziam perder horas, tentando explicar-lhes que não se pode ter sempre razão. Existe, isso sim, uma coisa que nunca acabei de compreender totalmente, acerca da sua forma de ser. Algo que fui notando com o tempo, das vezes que lá estive, que é o facto de, na Argentina, ninguém ser argentino. São todos italianos, franceses, espanhóis, polacos ou irlandeses. Passando à frente do clássico "… os peruanos vêem dos Incas, os mexicanos dos Aztecas e os argentinos dos barcos.", pareceu-me sempre haver uma reticência em assumir a nacionalidade. Enquanto, por exemplo, no Brasil, são todos brasileiros, na Argentina, se exceptuarmos os dias em que a selecção joga, a coisa não é tão simples. Conversei sobre isto com os meus amigos de lá que, diga-se, apesar de herança sempre se sentiram argentinos de corpo inteiro e as conclusões eram sempre várias: a herança europeia, patente na arquitectura, nas letras, nos desportos (polo, corridas de cavalos e mesmo o rugby) e esse culto da ideia, de que Buenos Aires, era um bocadinho da Europa desterrada na América do Sul. Nuinguém discute que a Argentina, com Buenos Aires à cabeça, é o país onde a influência do velho continente é mais sentida, mas daí a ter uma bandeira Argentina, ladeada pelas bandeiras de Espanha e do Japão, de um lado, e da de França e de Itália do outro, vai uma grande distância. Este cenário, vi-o na casa de uma amiga (de ascendência hispano-japonesa) e cujo marido (de ascendência franco-italiana) me assegurava sentir "…sangue francês nas veias", apesar de pouco falar o idioma, de não saber nada sobre a história, a geografia ou a vida pública do país (exceptuando futebol, que via como rival da Argentina). Entendo que seja a herança familiar, o ouvir, uma e outra vez as estórias do bisavô que veio da Bretanha, mas penso que existe uma parte que tem a ver com a necessidade, de ser " algo mais" (entendendo a Europa como algo melhor), de em vez de se ter os olhos em si, tê-los num lugar distante (mistura de realidade com o imaginário relatado por familiares).
Quando voltei a Buenos Aires, há um ano, depois da desvalorização, notei algumas diferenças. Notei que o país, já não olha tanto para Londres ou para Miami, que olha para si. Que com mais ou menos esperança, se soube assumir e tentar ir para a frente. Vi uma cidade onde aconteciam coisas, organizadas com poucos recursos mas muitas ideias, onde a actividade cultural está ao nível da Barcelona onde vivo, onde toda a gente, tem tempo para falar com os amigos, onde os teatros se enchem, onde encontro sempre os livros que quero (mesmo quando não sei que os quero), onde há sempre tempo para um café ou um mate e ao fim de semana, qualquer desculpa serve para juntar os amigos para "…un asado". A medo, confessei aos meus amigos (alguns perderam bastante dinheiro com a desvalorização) que via a cidade melhor, mais viva e interessante. Responderam-me, com uma tranquilidade desarmante, que sim, que a coisa estava a melhorar, que todo o "quilombo" serviu para que as pessoas pusessem os pés na terra, que já não viviam tão pendentes do fim-de-semana em Miami ou em Punta del Este, que as argentinas já não olhavam para o chão à procura do tapete vermelho, que havia ganas de fazer e inventar coisas, que apesar de haver vontade de sair do país, haviam agora outras razões e outros desafios que os faziam ficar e "…intentar hacer despegar, de una vez, a este país". Ouvi, e paguei a rodada seguinte, em agradecimento da lição.
Isto não é um post político, nem é absoluto, nem é para ensinar nada a ninguém. Isto…, isto são só saudades.

11.) Online bingo sites offering bingo cards for 25c offer substantial cash bingo prizes. Play at these sites to improve your winning chances. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free online bingo games[/url] One of the winning systems is to play with fewer bingo cards. Most bingo players play with many bingo cards to increase their chances of a win at the game. However, playing with fewer cards provides the best odds of the game as your chances of making a big win are higher. Another bingo system in action functions according to the theory of probability. Balls from a bingo machine come out at random, which means that no one can predict emergence of any particular number. In the same vein, you can employ the probability theory to gauge the next number to emerge from the machine. Random drawing of numbers means laws of probability govern selection of balls and their appearance in a uniform distribution pattern. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]no deposit bingo online[/url] The easiest way to avoid falling victim to a scam is to know the site on which you choose to play. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to talk to other people who play online Bingo to get a feel for the sites they use and what kind of experiences they have had with the site. In most cases, word of mouth is going to be your most accurate means of determining the legitimacy of a Bingo or any other gaming site. Of course, if you are using a free site, knowing about the experiences that others have had with the site is not quite as important, although you do not want to waste your time with something that is unlikely to produce any beneficial results. Of course, a free site is not going to give you much in the way of monetary compensation, and the prizes may be minimal, but for those who are addicted to the game, the challenge is there.

What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.

The majority of people do not have any idea about what is possible with [url=http://muahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url], and we really are talking about the range of effects. So it is not unusual to find yourself doing a lot of research and decision making. If you mistakenly overlook something, the outcomes can be unpleasant, to say the least. If you want to maximize your ROI, so to speak, then you need to find out what kind of choices you have. We will offer you some unique and important details on this topic so you can carefully take into account as much as possible.

The general complexities of women's and men's fashion

Both men and women could feel the pressures of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion usually feels a lot less difficult. Of program, for both sexes, costumes and style choices could be equally as elaborate, and there are lots of'trendy'items that could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they frequently see people walking around in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style features a few staple goods that will exist eternally - which man is going to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select basic pieces, colours and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why classic men's style is amazing

The classic man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several varieties for different events, nevertheless they are all common in their pursuit of a smart, sharp search for the wearer.

A well-groomed man can typically look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the design of such clothing. A match will undoubtedly be used to work in many jobs due to the professional look it offers to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and trust. Similarly a suit will undoubtedly be used to many social situations, like a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This incredible versatility that enables suits to be utilized in virtually all functions is what gives it its classic advantage and a lasting place in men's fashion.

Modern movements in traditional men's style

Though common men's designs will never be changed, it is interesting to remember that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought certain traditional clothes back to fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specially, has brought back a wide-variety of classic styles into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet lavish way, placing importance on appearance and working in a polished manner. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'common style for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in significantly Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage bicycles - with most of the men sporting impressive mustaches! This is only one of many types of proof exhibiting the resurgence of such types. Additionally, there are numerous blogs online which focus on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, though specific areas of basic men's fashion can be brought back as new developments, the basic garments that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
