Luisa La Gaucha!

Yes, I'm settling in just fine!

A quick update:
On the work front I'm now teaching English 12hrs per week, I have great students and actually learn a great deal from them about Argentine culture, history, politics, etc. In addition to this I regularly translate from Spanish into English the news section of an EMI website about a famous Mexican TV soap opera and the pop band that emerged from it and I am receiving the odd architectural translation from Europe, which is very welcomed!

Click here and here for some quite poor videos of a wonderful concert of Argentine folk music by Pateco Carabajal. I seem to have missed the most exciting parts, i.e. the fantastically showy footwork of the male dancers and the very regular instrumental breaks when Carabajal plays the violin and the entire audience claps frantically. I'm sure I'll get better at filming one day!
