Some day

Someday I will be the one throwing coins into the fountain instead of being the one picking them up. Someday I’ll be the one driving people around instead of asking for a lift. I’ll be the one providing food instead of asking for it. I’ll be the one who can look after and mentor other people. I’ll be the one dumping food instead of dumpster diving. Ok, no, that’s wrong, I shouldn’t throw food away.…

Just so that it's out there

If my memory doesn’t fail me I think I was 14 when I learned that second-hand smoke was actually much more harmful than smoking yourself. Then I realized my mother had smoked inside the house, next to me for as long as I had memory. She would bring all her friends home and they will all smoke nonstop next to me while I was in developing age to make sure I wouldn’t grow healthy and that I had…

Living in Asia as a vegetarian 1

How to survive in south and far east asia as a vegan/vegetarian: Japan:  Pretty tough. Fruits and veggies are crazy expensive, only affordable options are udon, katsu-udon but have to fish out some seafood from it, tempura, and foreign restaurants which cost at least twice as much as local ones. The only cheap supermarket is called “super tamade” where they sell lots of pre-cooked vegetarian options, and of course sushi, tempura, salads, at around 100…

Living in Argentina as a vegetarian

I frequently tell people I grew up in Argentina, and one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is: “was it tough being a vegetarian there?” Answer is always no. Of course, we find there’s a big meat eating culture there, but there are also many sub-cultures who chose to oppose it for some reason, so you’ve got the hippies, the SxE, the are krishna, the budhists, the hindus, the animals rights defenders, the environmentalists who do…

What's your visa?

I met some North American friends the other day that are still quite new to Taiwan, and they couldn’t stop laughing when I told them Taiwanese people always ask me about my visa status. Young and old people alike they are like really interested to know what visa foreigners have. At the beginning, I didn’t understand why they were laughing, because after some years in Asia I just got used to people asking about that, in…

Hiding stuff

Friend: Where’s your stash? Bruno: I’m not gonna tell you. Friend: You should. Bruno: Why? Friend: Well, during the years that you have been moving around, sometimes you’ve come to accumulate stuff you couldn’t take with you when you left, so they had to be hidden somewhere. You wouldn’t just give them to a friend, because you don’t want to be a burden or trouble other people with your stuff. You know they also have…
