This is a weird question, but is there a circus in Buenos Aires? I googled this and your post was first, and since I know you know the city, I thought i’d ask

Hi Evelyn,

Well, I too think that carnival fits better, it just feels like a circus sometimes.

Hey Nathan,

Basically what I’m saying is that you should write about the snow, in your journal, and never show it to anyone.

Hope that helps.

So basically what you’re saying is that we should write about the snow?

I actually think that circus is a good feel word for these carnivals, but, I guess carnival fits better because everyone gets to go on a “ride” around the world… without leaving home! A circus usually has animals and acrobats… okay, so like you said, circus still fits!

Hi Cherie,

Basically, you can write any post about any topic that is related to any city.

So, most Buenos Aires bloggers would probably write a normal post like they normally write about Buenos Aires. A blogger in San Diego would write about something in San Diego. And so on. And then submit the post to the carnival of cities through the submit link above.

Or, you could write about another city. For example, I submitted a past post I wrote here about Colonia del Sacramento to the carnival of cities.

The idea is to help people find out some more about other cities in the world, and increase traffic/links/happiness for the bloggers writing the posts about their cities.

Sorry if my post was confusing in any way. I was in a silly mood. The only reason I said the carnival is coming to Buenos Aires, and the only connection to Buenos Aires, is that I have been chosen to host the carnival this week (i.e. write the round up post of all the submitted posts about cities).

Hope that helps!

Alan

Alan, Alan, I’m missing something here. I read your post and those on Home Turf Media several times, because God knows I love a carnival. But I don’t understand; are BsAs bloggers supposed to all write on the same topic (por favor, not the snow!), or whatever topic about BsAs, or whatever topic about whatever city?
Please help. I’m confused.
