[ Google Slips...]

Playing the national anthem and viewing pictures of canadian landscapes was my own little way of celebrating Canada´s birthday while I am far from home. But when I opened the google home page I noticed there was no google doodle. How silly of me I thought, not so silly Jill Mahoney from the National Post also noticed and wrote this article. So thanks Google for shattering my dreams of seeing the canadian flags, beavers, maple leafs or moose on your site.

[ 54. Coffee ]


Things I love continued...

The irony of my life is that, I love Canadian coffee. I live in South America and I can't find a nicely brewed cup of coffee that does not come from a little machine that says Nescafe. It is a well known fact that latinamerica produces cacao beans, coffee beans and sugar, only for these products to be exported processed and sold back to at much much higher prices.
And so Canada does get great arabica beans, and so I can't find a nice cup of coffee here. And I am in desperate need for some...
(written during a tragic moment of insomnia)

And funny enough I am waiting to travel to Colombia in hopes to satisfy my vice... more to come.
