This is a really enjoyable read. Majiec is a great writer and speaker. A breath of fresh air compared much of modern blog/essay content.

Argentina on two steaks a day is quite possibly one of the best pieces of humorous writing, full stop. In my opinion at least, it should be regarded in company with Mark Twain and Jonathan Swift, though maybe not at the head of that particular table.

		That post is single-handedly responsible for me going to Buenos Aires. (Well that and a Qatar Airways misprice a couple of years back; but I would not have been motivated to jump on that occasion if I had not read the post.)

I'm personally still chuckling about Mariboro and the shout out to Ferdydurke

I know you didn’t mean anything by it, but this is the funniest misspelling of the name “Maciej” that I’ve ever seen.

		Oh! I actually thought I tried to be really careful to get that right and somehow still didn't see I'd transposed the j and c. Definitely no harm intended!
