I’m really interested to hear about your experience working for AWP 2002 in Chicago. What was it like? Did you meet any high-brow authors or hear any kick-ass readings? And what do you write? Short story, novel, CNF? Just curious. Are you finding time to write? No, I didn’t make it to the Chicago AWP. I had just moved to Portland from Burkina Faso, totally shell-shocked and excited. Anyway, keep writing. Peace, Blessings,

I just discovered your blog through From Argentina With Love. I’m so happy I found it!
Just want to say it was great to meet you today surrounded by tango music, and warm embraces. I hope we will have more chance to chat another time.
And as you know I am always in the same place late Monday afternoons and it will be lovely to share a table with you again.
Meanwhile I will keep reading your blog!

Hola, Soy Tomoko.
Yo leì los articulos de esta pàgina de Web.
Inglés no es mi lengua materna. Pero podìa entender lo que quieres comunicar. Gracias por tus articulos, yo puedo cultivar un mejor entendimiento de Buenos Aires.
Wow, you’re so brave to move in the name of learning a new language! I’ve been browsing through your blog and really enjoying it. From the entries here, it appears as if you’ve adjusted just fine.
And I love hearing about your experiences over there–like “Aunt Marge” I will likely never get there in person, so it’s fun to experience it vicariously!
Hi! I found your blog through a link from another expat blog that I read. I find your posts well-written and interesting to read, and I’d like to add you to my blog roll so I can continue reading!
I’ll be moving to Argentina some time next year to be with my Argentine boyfriend. I recently started a blog too, and I hope you’ll consider taking a look.
I’m looking forward to more posts.

Hi! I love your blog! I was in South America for a month in April/May and loved it, I can’t wait to go back to BA. South Africa is on my list as well so I can’t wait to read more about it. Best of luck with the move. Kirsten

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful blog. I have traveled extensively around South America, and all over beautiful Argentina in particular. Your blog really captures the Argentinian spirit and amazing culture.
Thanks and keep up the great writing!

Debo decirte que por solo haber vivido en Sur America por un ano tu espanol es divino! Es muy intereste leer sobre otros paises. Bueno ahora regreso a la lectura. Tienes muchas historias interestantes.
