Alan Faena? Naaah…. Alan’s Finer!
Question: Who is the most famous Alan in Buenos Aires?
Answer: According to Google, it’s me, Alan of Buenos Aires Travel Guide “fame”!
A quick Google.com search for Buenos Aires Alan (and many similar variations) puts me at the top of the pile, ahead of one of the most famous and stylish people in Buenos Aires, Alan Faena…former fashion designer, Puerto Madero property mogul, and the man behind possibly the most swish hotel in Buenos Aires, the simply fabulous Faena Hotel + Universe (one of my top 5 luxury Hotels in Buenos Aires, no less!)
Alan Faena Sandwich!
Not only that, but four of the top five search results are relating to me, making the nice Alan Faena sandwich shown on the following screen capture… 
Hence, according to Google.com, this here Alan’s a few times finer than the real Alan Faena! (Now that’s a bit of a tongue twister…)
This was the silly blog post up my sleeve I was referring to in this weeks Buenos Aires blog roundup…so there should be one more post to come from me this week, hopefully of a more serious variety.
I do apologize for the self-obsessed nature of this blog post…but I just had to point this out when I saw it after doing this “ego search” for me. To make things a little less about me, here is a picture of the real famous Alan Faena himself…
PS - In your face, Alan Faena!

Hey Corinne,
Sorry that my silly, joke blog post got in the way of your search a little.
Unfortunately I had quick search on the internet and cannot find anything about an Alan Diego Faena anywhere. Maybe if someone who knows him reads this, they could leave a comment here for you, but it is quite a long shot I guess…
Anyway, snowboarding in Utah sounds like fun. I’ll let you know if I’m ever in Utah…
