“INTIMATE SPACES” - TELO ALTERNATIVES
⊆ October 10th, 2009 by admin | ˜ No Comments »
So what do you do, where do you go if you want to have sex but don’t have the money for a TELO? And if you do have the money for a TELO but there aren’t any nearby how do you get there? And who takes care of the transaction, who pays for the room? And do you go home with someone to have sex the first time or do you go to a TELO? From cars to clubs, to buses and bikes it is all just FUN.
Join in on more of the conversation with the English language students from the CORNUDO segment. MUCHAS GRACIAS CLASE !
For those of you unfamiliar with the word TELO you can listen to a full explanation interview here…
LOVE HOTELS - 1.5 HR TURNOS OF A “tOUCH ME - TOUCH YOU” ADVENTURE
Recently I was invited as a native USA speaker to attend an English language class at an institute outside of Capital Federal. I agreed to the 2 hour 2 bus ride with one “catch” - I get to record the conversation and I get to pick the topic. My topic was and always is TELOS. The book project continues… Here is a short snippet of our conversation. It is not so much about TELOs. In this segment we talk about CHEATING. It is fun! The sound quality is not the best but please forgive. The laughter makes up for it. Join in. Besotes.
Meet Nigel Tollerman, sommelier and owner of 0800-VINO.COM, a premier wine delivery service in Buenos Aires. I met up with him at his offices in Abasto to get a mini wine lesson and taste some of the best Pinot Noir I have ever experienced in Argentina. Nigel really knows his wine and loves to share his passion. Listen in and learn about the company, the services and of course about wine. This is only the first recording. I am definitely going back to continue my education. Next time we will be recording from the cellar which is quieter but potentially dangerous. We may never emerge again. Murder by Malbec - drowning a delicious, delirious death in the cave. Coming soon… SAVE ME.
Beer aficionados are passionate about their brew. In a country where 80% of the market is Quilmes where does a beer lover go to toss down a few microbrews? I met up with Chris Canty of Beer In BA in San Telmo to get some clues. I like this Aussie’s style, his sense of humor and his great passion for BEER. It’s a living thing…
Join us as we meet with author, linguist and tango singer Jose Maria (Pepe) Kokubu and learn about the origins and development of tango music and dance in Buenos Aires. This incredibly informative and entertaining interview (complete with several glorious serenaded examples) will help you understand and appreciate this rich and deeply erotic piece of Argentine culture. I personally was fascinated and found it difficult to stop recording and end the interview. I hope to be invited back soon.
This is the first in a new type of program - Pato’s Quack - monologues about Argentina because - well - Patt is not always in the country but she does have plenty of stories and information to convey.
Recently I had the great pleasure to meet up with two of the three members of the Aca Seca Trio. When I heard their music, a delicious melding of jazz and folklorica I simply had to share it with you. When you listen I am sure that you will agree that these talented musicians produce a world fusion that stirs the spirit and delights the soul. It roots in the tierra (earth) yet flies with the wind.
Couchsurfing – what is it? Is it about surfing, furniture, sofas? NO. It is about community. Tune in and learn about the CouchSurfing Project. Buenos Aires is one of the most active chapters in the worldwide web-based organization. Now with members numbering over half a million couchsurfing is not only changing the way a person travels, it is changing the world.
Join author Marc Thomas as he speaks with us about his latest novel “Ten2Seven”. The novel not only travels areas of the physical world but also areas deep within the soul. In this interview we focus on his early years as a teenager in Argentina during the coup d’état of the 70’s and segue to a spicy tidbit of “coming of age.” There is much more to the novel. Get it, read it. And while waiting…here is your chance to TASTE it.
SHE just landed in Buenos Aires on a space ship from Mars. HE arrived a year ago from Venus. They meet in a café to talk about TELO’s. Listen in and get the gist from a foreigner’s perspective. Live, love, laugh and learn. It IS all in good educational FUN !
TELOs – aka: Albergue Transitorios (temporary hotels) are part of the culture of Argentina. In a land of besos (kisses) and abrazos (hugs) TELOs are normal. They are not always seedy motels. On the contrary, some are lavish oasis’s to relax, rejuvenate and relate. Listen to a soft spoken, very informative interview about what TELOs are, how they work and why they are an important part of normal Argentine life. And…laugh a bit with some funny stories of mishaps along the way.
