Ebbing Back

The countdown has resumed anew. In three months, I should be reading this post from a friend's house in Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This time, no strings attached. I'll be returning alone, FLACSO will be closed for summer vacation, and pretty much everyone I know will have escaped from Buenos Aires's summer heat spell. So, what do I have to look forward to? Well, to make the story short, a lot. A lot will have changed there, but change has taken place in here, too. So in short, January, you couldn't come any sooner.
