Haha I’m going to have to steal some of these (BBQ dinner with a prime minister, drink a Mexican firing squad…) and throw them into a bucketlist.

Comment on Election season in the Americas by Jessica (@JessicaRawlins)

The Latin American campaign posters always crack me up because they have such a different way of presenting candidates than we do in the states. After three terms of Leonel Fernandez Reyna we’ll have to see whose elected. No one wanted to discuss the elections with me when I was in Santo Domingo last year… and I stayed with a Dominican family. Thanks for sharing about this!

He was making breakfast sandwiches- egg and cheese, from what I could tell. Food in the DR is a lot like that in Puerto Rico and Cuba– lots of plantains and root vegetables. I was on the coast so there was quite a bit of fish as well.

Haha, this is cool. What was he cooking?

I’ve never been to the Dom. Rep. so idk about the food, but I’ve heard good things about other places in the Caribbean.

This is a great project and so needed.

A year ago, I stayed in Mexico City for 1 month and loved it. But all people talk about anymore is the violence. The media especially gives only a small biased view of what Mexico is about.

Comment on Art Review: Van Gogh Up Close at The Philadelphia Museum of Art by julie

JoAnna-

As long as you’re not making a living as an art critic, art historian, or curator, I’m not sure you have to know what you’re looking for (and even then, it’s all pretty subjective!). Mainly, look for what appeals to you visually or aesthetically. Over time, you’ll learn to see other details, such as material and technique–both the immediately visible and that which is more conceptual., and you might find that interests you as much as the overall effect. In my own case, there are artists whose work I don’t like at all, but whose personal stories I find really fascinating, and so that makes their work interesting to me– though not necessarily beautiful. Unfortunately, I think that many people are turned off of art because they think they have to know something about it in order to “get” it, but that’s not true.
