Like People in History (Part 1): An Assassinated Spanish Poet and An Ideali
2009-10-18 14:50:00 In this series of articles, tMF puts the spotlight on films which deals with certain important historical events or the portrayal of important historical figures. - - -- - - In Part 1, we're featuring 2 films - Goodbye, Lenin! and Little Ashes - and you might wonder why.... The complete details on the event or the historical figure and about the movies right after the jump! - - -The Berlin Wall, The Fall of Comunism and an Idealistic German YouthOn November 9, Europe will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. What better way to celebrate than to watch a movie with Berlin as the backdrop? During its existence from 1961 to 1989, the Berlin Wall stopped almost all such emigration and separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter of a century. The Wall included guard towers lining large concrete walls circumscribing a wide area (later known as the "death strip") containing anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. A...

I have to say that I never would have imagined my partner in Spanish Class at IU would end up being my favorite player to watch on Sunday. It is so cool to see you out there doing your thing with my hometown team, the Bears. My roommates from school often ask me if I kept in touch with you and I regrettably say no each time. I heard about your blog and figured I would drop you a line to say hello and keep up the outstanding...
Seville: A Slow Day Before the elBulli Dinner
2009-09-23 04:42:00 Brunch was at hotel recommended restaurant called Al Alcantina. This is located around the central square in Seville historic city center. We had a table outside the restaurant. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. No bread here ... they served us those thingy above. It was rock hard and definitely on the dry side. We took a couple and then left it alone. The waitress recommended the Ensaladilla La Alcantina which she said was the prize winner of the Best Classic Tapas in the 2003 Seville Fair of Tapas. Sure, we said ... it was worth a try. ?8.70 is how much it costs. It was creamy, served cold and refreshing -- absolutely marvelous. We had never had these before. I think it is made with mayo with potatoes and some vegetables. The puzzling thing is how could this have been classified as tapas? So I did some research and indeed it is considered as SPANISH tapas despite the Russian word in the name.

Seville: Rabo de Toro and Plaza de Espana
2009-09-20 23:53:00 Time to eat. After the visit to the Bullfighting Museum in the morning, it just occurred to me that there is one thing that we had not eaten yet in Spain ... Rabo de Toro! I remember reading somewhere that the bull killed in the bullfight is sold in the market for its meat. The meat is not prime meat but the best part is the Rabo de Toro. So we went scouring for a place for Rabo de Toro. We went to a few places asking if they have Rabo de Toro. That drew smiles from a number of places we went to. We finally found one restaurant which turned out to be pretty good which has that. He he he ... you know which part of the bull that the Rabo de Toro is made of? We sat at the patio and was immediately served olives and water. The olives was salty and sour. For the life of me, I can never learn to appreciate olives. Yet it is so popular around the Mediterranean.

Seville: El Cortes Ingles
2009-09-19 19:16:00 We went to El Cortes Ingles. Yeah, it is a departmental store but it has a great cafeteria. More importantly, people don't smoke here! Wrong choice. English is also at a premium here. At least the waiters (in bow ties and tuxedos!) were very professional, polite and patient. The Summer menu above is in Spanish but we already know quite a number of Spanish words. We could piece together some words to know what some of these means. It is a 3-course menu for ?9.95. I remember calculating that we were spending a lot of money on drinks (was almost $40 Canadian already!). We told ourselves that we are bringing two, maybe three, bottles of 2L bottles the next day even if it means breaking my back carrying it in the backpack. You know, I like the formal-ness in Spain even in serving water in nice glasses. Mind you, this is a cafeteria.

I have to hunt down the first season of this excellent thriller that, in its second season, has detectives Renzo Marquez (Julio Chavez) and Marina Segal (Cecilia Roth) tracking a serial killer who copies 20-year-old murders and then creates photographic portraits of them--suitable for framing! They discover that a man being treated in a mental hospital may have escaped the killer. He's too traumatized to answer their questions, but he suffers fits that cause him to predict each victim. As I watched this gruesome, tense and beautifully filmed (in Buenos Aries) series, the...

McCain TV ad blames Obama for ‘amnesty’ failure – in Spanish
2008-09-19 21:42:00 McCain TV ad blames Obama for ‘amnesty’ failure – in Spanish WASHINGTON –A new Spanish-language John McCain television commercial airing in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico attacks Barack Obama for not doing enough to support the so-called “comprehensive immigration reform” legislation backed by President Bush and Sen. Ted Kennedy that was defeated last year after a national uprising in which it was characterized as a massive “amnesty” scheme. The ad claims Obama deliberately backed “poison pill” amendments meant to undermine the compromise hammered out by McCain, Kennedy and others. (SNIP) Supporting its claims in the commercial, the McCain campaign cited a Christian Science Monitor column of April 17 by Ariel Sabar that said: “Obama was part of the bipartisan group of senators who began meeting in 2005 on comprehensive immigration reform. But last summer, with the presidential nominating race well under way, Obama backed 11...
