Hello from Argentina


I am Alicia. I am 37 years old and have been teaching English as a Foreign Language for about 18 years. The idea of joining a blog written by people from different countries has sounded extremely appealing, so...off I go !

To begin with, I would like to introduce my country: Argentina, my home. That's the way I feel it. I do not live in the capital of the country, Buenos Aires but in the North East.


You may be wondering what the difference is. Well there is a wide range of differences between living in a big city like the one I first mentioned and my place. In the next posts I will be dealing with some of them. There are pros and cons in both. However, there's only one pride: Living in this country .

This is just an introductory post, so please forgive me if the piece of writing length does not fulfill your expectations. But ...to be honest I wouldn't like to round off this message in an ordinary way. No. Let me end it up with a set of pics from my country and a couple of questions for all the readers of this blog.

The questions are:

1 - Would you guess what these pics represent? - If you are mistaken I will explain...but it would be great if you try to guess! ;-)

2- What's your favourite pic in the set? Why?

I would love to read your comments / queries/ speculations... I promise to answer soon.

Well , find the pics below:



Got some ideas already?

Hello Alicia,

I would guess that these are scenes from the plaza in your town. I like the relaxed fellow at the news stand best.

Welcome Alicia,

For me the pictures represent a proud people that never lost hope for a better life and always found a kind of freedom in something as passionate as the tango.

Fav. pic: No.7 - The couple dancing in the street: they simply look happy.

Hi Alicia

I'm at a loss...
I saw movies more than ten times!
I can't find any story between them..

Anyway,I like the photo of CAMINITO Tango Shop.

Hello! :) I was bornand raised in Buenos Aires. I moved to the US when I was 16. I am 29 now and probably moving to Europe at some point. Just thought I'd say hello! :)
