El Tango

Buenos Aires » Alt. 5m
Chegamos a Buenos Aires quatro anos atrasados, o que é ainda pior do que o meu atraso habitual no escritório.
O processo de aclimatizacao á altitude já comecou. Neste momento estamos no piso mais alto do hostel, o que nos coloca 9 metros acima do nivel da rua, 14 acima do nivel do mar, e a apenas 3 636 m de La Paz.
Buenos Aires é uma cidade muito europeia. Tem reflexos de Paris e Barcelona. Há muita música nas ruas e já nos sentimos tentados a comprar um charango.
Mas o relevante tem sido os restaurantes. Como sabemos que mais a frente nos esperam os Andes, e o repasto por la será sempre uma das muitas incognitas do dia, decidimos meter maos á obra (leia-se garfos no lombo) e, de acordo com calculos provisórios, nos últimos dois dias já comi mais bife aqui do que no último mes em Londres.
É o local mais civilizado que vamos encontrar nos próximos tempos, e no entanto já evitei alguns sanitários.
Hoje voamos para Salta. Para lá de Salta extende-se o Altiplano.

Buenos Aires » Alt. 5m
We have arrived in Buenos Aires four years late. That´s even worse than my usual arrival at the office.
The height acclimatization process has begun. Right now we are at the highest level of the hotel, which lifts us some 9 meters from the street, and a relevant 14 from sea level. La Paz is only 3 636m higher.
Buenos Aires is a very european city. There are resembrances to Barcelona and Paris. Music fills the streets and we have already fought the early temptation to buy a charango. I reckon that temptation will prevail somewhere in Bolivia.
The highlight so far were the restaurants. Aware of what lies ahead, we took matters in our own hands (maybe I should say forks) and, according to provisional calculations, I ate more beef these two days than in the past month in London.
It´s the most civilized place we´ll find before Europe and already I have avvoided a few toilets.
Today we fly to Salta. After Salta, the great Altiplano stands.

Welcome to my ongoing diary of thoughts and projects.
Here I sketch the storyboard of 2 characters, trapped in my body and linked to the world through my senses. They control my brain in a constant search for life waves, the eternal energy that feeds their souls.
Gummavitta is the explorer, the architect and the scientist. He searches the hemispheres of the earth, the mind and the human condition.
Mummagumma is the traveler, the painter and the dancer who collects Gummavitta´s experiences and memories and applies them to achieve connections. Connections with himself, which means you and I, us and them.
