K is for Kite Surfing

• 11

The sport of kite surfing has become very popular since its first appearance in the late 1990s. In fact, the sport has become a mainstream sport, also known as kite boarding, all over the world. Primarily the water sport is a combination of speed, power, agility and reaction. It can be seen as a cross between water skiing, skateboarding, and windsurfing. Argentina with so many climate zones and such a wide variety of terrain is heaven for outdoor sport enthusiasts and offers some great spots not only for wind and kite surfer. The surf location in the picture is to be found in Rosario along the small islands of the river Paraná.

You are looking at the third-largest city in Argentina which is only five car hours away from Buenos Aires. The city that lies on the Parana River in the province of Santa Fe is considered the cradle of Argentina's national banner. A great way to observe the cityscape is from the tower of its famous landmark, a patriotic monument that was built to honor Argentina's flag and its creator General Manuel Belgrano. What else do we know about this city? The famous/infamous Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was born here. Students appreciate the opportunity to choose from more than ten national colleges and enjoy the vivid nightlife that comes with them.

Meet Aldo from Rosario

• 8

I met Aldo in Rosario at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MACRo). I knew from the beginning he would not accept that no attention is being paid to him. He seemed pretty easy going, so approaching me was a matter of seconds. He stared at me until I realized that I had to make the next step. I asked him, why a dog like him would loiter around a museum dedicated to modern art? He answered with his honest brown eyes that he wants to make new friends. As it turned out, he is overly attracted by contemporary art (lovers), so the MACRo seems to be the perfect spot for him to hang around.
