    Takes one to know one....

    i grew up in these regions and while i agree tih the general level of discontent, I think it takes different skills to make life livable. a normal argentinean does not socialize for a reason, its too fraught with tension and agression to make tit worthwhile. If you come from the pub hey hows...

    How often do you fly home?

    Assuming you are heading towards the northern parts of this continent, here is a cheap way. Go to Once, get on a bus to Jujuy (150 pesos), then to la quiaca border (65 pesos), do Bolivia for peanuts, in Peru you might have to look for the inexpensive bus but you will find it, get to Lima and...

    Why does customer service here suck?

    customer service her sucks in order to protect the high profit margin per unit. If you are illhumoured and shoot dirty glances at the customer, do not interpret this as what have I done wrong, though this is definitely what they want you to believe. Why? Because as long as the customer thinks...

    Christina Kirchner bans advertisements( sexual services)

    Excuse my language, but right now it seems like a ¨nube de pedos¨. If Christina does not make this project translate into a better middle class, what would be the point? What in effect can an Argentinian have access to with his median wage? I think Macri will and has exploited this weakness to...

    Is it a good time to go back?

    olynor, right now I don´t much care for an ideal choice as long as it doesn´t have any huge negatives. All I want is some relief from what I thought was shaping up here in this country but seems to have failed to do so. I am sure I´ll be missing loads of things, but I mean the prices are getting...

    Is it a good time to go back?

    Another good suggestion Johnny. I have heard excellent things about Berlin. If there is ever a get together, can you add me to the list? Would love to kick it over apint or two. As to Cortazar, he translated Edgar Allan Poe. I am merely a bilingual jack of all trades master of none who added...

    Is it a good time to go back?

    A lot in the States seems to have changed pricewise since the late 90´s. I craigslist some cities which rent rooms for what you could not find a luxury efficiency before, and I don´t believe wages have tripled in less than ten years. What is going on? Are there still alternative cities7regions...

    Is it a good time to go back?

    Thank you all for the overwhelming response! As I am new to the forum, I did not imagine a single day would fetch so many responses. By the way, I earn my paycheck as a translator, mostly into my mother tongue which is Spanish, but I sometimes work in both directions, depending on the...

    Is it a good time to go back?

    Been out of the us for so long (10 years plus), thought I might ask if it is not too general of a question whats it like there now and is it a good time to go back. Oriignally from the region, though not exactly from here, Iset out for the US when I was a late teenager, lived for 12 years, got...

    What do you like here in BA?

    I think a lot of people who complain about BA do so thinking about an ideal back home in the past, in their youth which is gone. Travelling is a hard animal to tame!

    What do you like here in BA?

    While this city may be bland, are you really prepared to say that any small city in the US is less bland than this? PLEASE, please tell me you are joking. There are so many small cities in the US that make a small TOWN in Uruguay particularly look like a renaissance fair. For most of small town...
