Haha, something like this happened to me a couple of weeks ago, but with the argentinian flag (due to soccer fandom), I helped a cousin of mine move a couple of weeks ago, and he left an argentinian flag in my car (he's a big fan of the argentinian soccer team, I'm a sucker for the french team though hehe) maybe it was a sign hehe.
On a related note, I bought the roundtrip tickets from caracas to buenos aires on monday :). Tip, travel agent said to totally avoid Aerolineas Argentinas supposedly they suck really bad, so I went with LAN, they're part of the oneworld alliance so I'm getting miles I can use on american airlines.

I bought my ticket from the machine, and when I pulled my receipt out of the dispenser, I also found a 25-cent piece. Once I got a closer look I realized why somebody might not have bothered to take their change - it wasn't a U.S. quarter. Neither was it Canadian, though, which is what you would typically find in that case. Of all things, it happened to be Argentine, so 25 centavos actually. I have no idea how 25 centavos from Argentina ended up in San Francisco, in just the right place for me to pick them up. It was quite amusing to me to think that later this year I'll actually be in Buenos Aires, I suppose I should bring it with me whether I spend it or not. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Wikimania, and seeing any of you that are able to make it. --Michael Snow _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
