        One thing good about the plane flights was that I could sleep all the time as much as I wanted between takeoff and landing. I bonked my head against the seat in front, which disrupted my wonderful dream of dancing with bunnies.

        When the full blast of heat like a sauna from the outside started to melt me at Iguazu International Airport of Argentina  (IGR), mom quickly

        The wheels on the bus went round and round as the air filled with the sound of sunny morning chirps of the birds. Buenos Aires blew out "Good Airs" or "Fair Winds" and eclectically blended its contemporary vitality and old-world languor on the western bank of the estuary of the Rio de la Plata. When the bus stopped at the political and cultural heart- Plaza de Mayo (May Plaza), it was already bliste

【To A Cat】

Jorge Luis Borges (1899—1986)

         nor the creeping dawn more secretive;

         in the moonlight, you are that panther

        Today it's New Year's Eve and we were cruising at sea again.

        I yawned widely as I got up in the morning. As I checked the clock, I toppled out of bed. It was 10:30 am. I still was in pajamas and cuddling a teddy bear. For some reason, I actually grew fond of the bear because he was a nice replacement for my old punching bag. I was thinking of ha

        The islands we were bounding for had two different names in the Atlantic Ocean. It depended upon whom we spoke with and what we talked about. With respect to the Argentine, Islas Malvinas became national sovereignty. To the English, Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory. In history, there were French, British, Spanish, and Argentine settlements over time. Although the Falkland Islands were currently under B

        By December, a hot summer came to the south atmosphere. However, the cold still numbed my teeth as we waited on the sun deck for the glaciers and sheer mountains to appear over the horizon in the Strait of Magellan between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. 

        Due to tidal constraints, we had to delay our arrival time by two hours in Ushuaia of Argentina this afternoo
