Foto Op

Tomás Dinges, of Tomás Dinges fame, got to kiss Bachelet and her imperfect English on the cheek in New York, although the foto might only reveal a handshake. Even without the brush with fame, T's post is newsworthy because it happened. After six weeks of silence. It's also wonderfully written: I wonder if the Chileans who go to Columbia are not cuicos, but rather mechas, or what a cuico or a mecha really is. A debate on pigeonholio cuiciño sputtered out in the comments there, and I think T invented the words mongo and mecha. I open up the forum for T to defend himself.

Anyway, down with Leo Prieto, Tomás promises to have a much better way of describing the Chilean people and community in New York, what really matters to people from Chile living in New York

Even better, though, is the comment I made on his post. You should click here to read it, because I wrote it.
