Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:49:00 PDT
Jump to the full entry & travel map Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina Buenos Aires is a city with a lot of dog manure and urine. So much so that while walking you need to constantly be looking out for where you are stepping. If you don´t watch out you end up like Joe who spent a chunk of our first evening in BA trying to get the dog feces off his shoe using puddles on the streets that probably consisted of 60% dog urine. A little ironic that a city which

Entitled Bill C-61, its purpose is to bring Canadian copyright law into compliance with the current WIPO treaty (this despite their being no international legal obligation to implement WIPO - it hasn’t been ratified by Canada). Prentice states in a Toronto Star letter to the editor that C-61 will allow… “…the recording of webcasts I think he means podcasts and
