As you can imagine after running almost 6 Km for a charity event going to an Argentinian place sounds fantastic and the one we went was fantastic indeed.
The place is just outside South Kensington tube station and it´s called "Gaucho Grill", it´s a homy place completely different from the posh places all around.
For starters we had "Chorizo Criollo", very tasty kinda sausage, chunichurri and olives.
For the main we share a salad and we had three different pieces of meat, Manu had the Rump steak, Tam the Sirloin and I had the Fillet steak.
For dessert, rice pudding with dulce de leche, that is in spanish "Arroz con leche con un trozo de dulce de leche" that was very good.
So basically a place with excellent meat, friendly waiters, good price and not posh at all.

Morocco
Finally we went to Morocco instead of Russia because a friend of Tam Tam from Documentum support was coming and she wanted to go to a moroccan restaurant.
We had for starters one thing very tasty, roasted green peppers with olive oil and some bread.
For the main course we had: Lamb, lamb, lamb and chicken with okra, vegetables and of course coscous!!
The place is called Moroccan Tajine and is very good in quality and if you go, remember to stay away of food for two days as the portions of the main courses are huge.

Próxima semana...
Rusia!
Maxim, un ruso que trabaja con nosotros nos recomendó el lugar que se llama
Borscht n' Tears.
Brasil fue un desastre :( Creemos que cerrara dentro de poco, y creo que eso, ya dice mucho.

South Africa
El viernes fuimos a sudáfrica (mas o menos) a un restaurante en Victoria en el que comimos muy bien.
De entrada nos comimos una tempura de gambas, ensalada y carpaccio de Kudu
De segundo Raúl e Iván se pidieron el springbok, Jimena y Tamara el atún, Manú una ensalada y el que suscribe se tomó un filete a la pimienta.
Mención especial se merece el postre que varios tomamos que es un bizcocho de chocolate con chocolate fundido dentro con una bola de helado de crema merengada que estaba para co.....

Grecia
Bueno supongo que deberiamos hablar un poco de lo que tomamos en cada sitio.....Fuimos el jueves a Aphrodite Taverna en Bayswater - que la verdad es buen rival para Fairuz, de la semana pasada. Acabamos casi sin podernos mover del sitio, despues de 5 starters enormes entre 4, mas 4 platos que te ponian o un pez entero, o el cordero entero - pues asi 4 platos. De starters tomamos tzatziki, un dip de yogur y berenjena, calamares, champinhones, y grilled halloumi.
De segundo diferentes platos con cordero y seabass. Ala ya esta - ya no puedo hablar mas de comida que me muero.

From Sudan to Lebanon
Yesterday we had to visit Sudan, unfortunately the restaurant had mutated to some kind of mexican tex mex thing. We weren't in that mood, so, we keep walking Westborne Grove until we found a nice lebanese restaurant, so we decided to swap Sudan by Lebanon.
Fairuz was a pleasant surprise. Starting with the salad to make to the desserts, without forgetting the cushioned bread... so far is the best place I've eaten during this project. A bit pricy, but sometimes quality and good location has a price.

Colombia
Mañana toca Colombia después de una visita más que agradable a Irán donde tuvimos la suerte de estar acompañados por una nativa que nos dejó muy fácil el tema de pedir ya que fue "You Order, and we eat".
La comida estaba muy rica y con sabores nuevos como el bebedizo de aperitivo, el restaurante está muy cerquita de Shepherds Bush, de precio muy bien, a lo mejor porque lo pedimos todo en farsi (que es lo que hablan por allí).
En Colombia también podríamos haber tenido una paisana pero Raúl está muy liado con su "Business English course".
A nuestro bienamado amigo Alex casi mejor que nos lo saltamos, verdad Manu?
¿y porqué este en español? porque yo lo valgo.

Colombia or Iran
Quite interesting choices this week. We don't know yet if we're going to Colombia (Brixton) or maybe to Iran (Hammersmith). Everything is on the air waiting for an iranian girl to decide to come to town or not.

Mongolia
New country - new continent. Today we jet off to Mongolia. I come prepared today, with my notebook for my wonderful averages calculation, and my new camara, to add a bit more colour. I'm a bit worried as to what will get stuck in my notebook as a souvenir - in Switzerland it was a bit of chocolate.... but in Mongolia?? a bit of meat? yuck.

Suiza - Switzerland
Yesterday we kicked off the project in Switzerland with its corresponding cheese fondue (two of them) and chocolate fondue. The best thing was that there were 6 of us, including Raul and Jimena who we thought might be lost.
About the place, in my opinion it's very good, but nothing to write home about, and the wine has left me feeling a bit funny, even though we only had 2 bottles for 6. The place was little and very cute, right in the centre.
What I noticed most was the smell. I only like a few types of cheese, so going into a place where they've been making founde for a long time with a penetrating cheese smell was strange, to say the least. And to finish off the bad point, the chocolate fondue didn't come with banana, and Tamara, who is a banana lover, didn't have any.

Shy introduction upon an apple
In a few hours we start our trip around the world... I'm so nervous :) I will let the others introduce little by little what, why, when and how this project was born and how healthy it's growing up.
If you look for a quick description, I'll tell you that this is one of those things you talk about many times over a beer or two: "We should do..." nothing. Oh, well, here we go. Finally we decided to start our trip in Switzerland. Foundue :) Yummi!!!!
From Switzerland we will head to Mongolia, and then, surely to Colombia. We do have a calendar :) where we will be adding all the events (we dont want you to give the old excuse of "I don't know where or how..."
I'll shut up for a while now, and let the others talk a bit.
