I doubt that I'll ever start instructing people to start ecosiing things, but if I am in the mood to surf Ecosia is a great way to do it. The concept behind Ecosia is great. I am a bit tired of filling the Google coffers (the Ecosia promo is quick to remind how much money is made in on-line clicks), but the privacy policy makes up for it - they pledge to delete all personally held data within

Every year in South America the North Winds sweep through the continent bringing about the change of seasons. Like the full moon, the winds bring with them an eerie dryness that permeates clothes, moods and behaviours.Like South America, New Zealand shares a heavy dependence on a strong agricultural sector. I was recently lucky enough to spend an hour with a very switched on farmer from the

One of the things that the punters hype up as one of the on-line channel shopping innovations is the ability to review feedback from previous shoppers. The innovation in this user-share tool is not so much its carrot and stick approach to influencing trading behaviour but its influence on how traders can adapt their service/products to meet new markets. Anybody who's been on trademe, e-bay or the

We take a sustainable sabbatical to think about consumerism consumer behaviour and the on-line revolution of social networking..It is difficult now to find a sensible person who doesn't agree that the environmental degradation that came with the industrial revolution needs to be corrected if our social progress is to improve equitably and sustainably. Which is what we all want right? The Natural

Contrary to popular belief, Buenos Aires doesn´t really have bueno aire. The Subte (subway) is champion but without hydrolic 4x4 coche (push chair/pram) functionality public transport is a bitch. Fortunately taxis are cheap as chips and the money you save you make up for in time and hassle.We had some business to take care of in the city and a nene (child) to entertain. I split off from the

One of the many ¨diablitos¨. They speak with very high-pitched voices (perhaps to hide their identity), and are extremly cheeky. There are also women dressed as brujas (witches) who run around with giant zanahorias (carrots) - I won´t say what they do with them.Here´s one that stole my wife a few times. she could barely walk the next day (from all the dancing that is)This is the mojon (

Canaval en Tilcara, Jujuy 2009

Today I witnessed the break out of urban guerilla warfare in the streets of S. S Jujuy. But not a war where men throw stones or hit police with battons, with blood or any kind of injustice. There were children as young as my ahijada (God daughter) leading the charge. Water baloons galore.We are in the final Count down for the official beggining of facilities. The following Monday and Tuesday are

San Salvador de Jujuy is a large city in the very north of Argentina. If you use Google Maps, I have posted a few photos up there, and hope to put up a little video soon which shows the interesting architecture and town planning (or lack there of).Excuse me if this isn't 100% correct but a couple of hundred years ago Jujuy would've been part of Bolivia (before the Argentines got a little greedy

Our first days in Buenos Aires

It was a twelve or so hour flight from Auckland to Buenos Aires and despite having the feeling that our Air Lineas plane was held together with plaster and wire we made it well. I say this as we sat in a section that had no onboard entertainment <(the projector was broken) and no music in one of our seats (there was simply no where to plug in your headphones). But the staff were very

Testing out the combination of different Google accounts, I have managed to integrate AdSense, Blogger, Picasa and iGoogle (for viewing) as well as Google Maps and Laitude to share our Latino journey.The pictures in this blog came straight from our Public gallery in Picasa. They are photos mostly from Jujuy in the North of Argentina where we intend to celebrate Carnaval this year. This is a
