Of all the impressive things I’ve seen on my journey in Latin America so far, Rio de Janeiro has definitely been the most amazing and surprising experience of my trip. What happened: I came to Rio de Janeiro in order to work at a seminar for my internship institution.

I’m sorry to give some of you the trouble of having to read this in English, but it is simply the only language everybody will be able to understand at least partly. What happened so far: My first days in Buenos Aires have passed by. I arrived almost two weeks ago on the 29th of July 2009, which is deepest winter [View Full Entry]
