I found the juxtaposition of cutting edge telecommunication technology and colonial lifestyle and architecture so fascinating and that’s why I have covered it in the following articles:
- The Young Maya Geeks
- iPhone 3G on Sale in La Antigua Guatemala
- Internet Access in Every Corner of Guatemala
- iPhone Twitter Updates from Guatemala and
- Fully Apple Equipped for La Antigua Guatemala
Today’s picture is mostly focus on living la vida digital that is feasible in La Antigua Guatemala. The photograph depicts some of the elements that are present in a geek lunch that can be had in Silicon Valley, London, Singapore, Tokyo or La Antigua Guatemala. Also, the photo above shows the cosmopolitan aspects of La Antigua Guatemala: a Philly cheese steak sandwich, French-style vegetable chips, German-style coleslaw, Wired magazine [tnx querida amiga, you know who you are], authentic coffee from Antigua Guatemala, a smartphone from Finland, all in a French bistro on Calle del Arco. Life is good!

In a French bistro on Calle del Arco, owned by a British lady 🙂
You forgot to mention: Life is good! to finish up getting me more envious of you, ;O) ;O) ;O) I just had some food, and I’m starving thanks to you!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeell Done!!!!!!!!!
@Nic, thanks for the additional information about the ownership of the bistro.
@Arturo, I did say Life is good! on the very last sentence. 🙂
The number on the paper, isn’t that the code for the wireless network at the bistro?
@Luis, pretty good eye; I was wondering how many people were going to notice it. You’re the second person that mentions it; Antontrax also made a reference to it in a tweet.
Well, I also noticed that only two chess pieces, two bishops, were left on the chess board (the salt and pepper). I guess people are more into playing chess in their computers.
@Luis, jajaja… muy buen ojo de nuevo.
Rudy, their Philly cheese steak is muy sabroso! I’m not crazy about the chips though.
Ah, Rudy, toooootally didn’t notice… Perhaps I’m getting to used to see it, that I overlooked at it, ;O)
Rudy – delicious photo! Looks like your enjoyed a yummy lunch!
This is the best restaurant in Antigua Guatemala!
@Ivet, I have only had a sandwich so I am not prepared to back this statement yet. 🙁
