Yes?

Looks cool, sells for 400 USD, but its Amazon ratings are not so good: 54% rate is as poor to below average, 3% give it an average rating, and 43% rate it better than average. Apparently it has lots of shortcomings that may be addressed in the future.

The city itself certainly is cosmopolitan (i.e. Having constituent elements from all over the world ) but (average/most) Porteños are certainly not cosmopolitan (i.e. a person who is free from local, provincial, or national bias or attachment) and you will see this reflected in daily life...

This highlighted part says more about your way of thinking than about Chileans. Ever wondered why you met/run into such people? ;-)

Official web page says: CERTIFICADO QUE ACREDITE FEHACIENTEMENTE QUE NO REGISTRA CONDENAS ANTERIORES NI PROCESOS PENALES EN TRÁMITE emitidos por las autoridades competentes de los países donde haya residido por un plazo superior a UN (1) año, durante el transcurso de los últimos TRES (3) años...

I'd look at it through the HDI index, as it explains a lot and takes out some of the subjectivity, cognitive errors and bias. For example, the 2011 Human Development Index (HDI): Italy: 87.4 (non-income HDI: 91.4, inequality adjusted HDI: 77.9) Spain: 87.8 (non-income HDI: 92.0, inequality...

This got me thinking about myself when I left a highly paid project in the US to take a 30% increase for finishing the same project, now in Norway. I thought I was just being strategic, but lo and behold, I could have been an economic migrant...or do I not qualify for being an economic migrant...

Well said! Side question: are you conscious of what 'causes' the chemistry with a particular place?

I have lived in a dozen of countries and have worked in a few more, and traveled to more than 160, and at a relatively young age I set out to find 'my place'. Over the years I found many places where I (at a time) simply felt good (I was not very conscious of many of the social factors when I...

Exactly. Here's the info.

In the immigration office you present your original with the apostile and the attached and legalized (stamped over the joining pages) translation. They scan it at the moment and return the originals of every document back to you. From the official migraciones page: La documentación a presentar...

Awesome! Topics to be discussed and debated: religion, politics, and sex.

Generally speaking yes. I lived in KL, SIN and BKK and frequently transited through HKG. Just recently spent some time in the new lounge @ HKIA, the new Pier First Class lounge - amazing, especially the food (although I admit, the lounge experience can be quite 'superficial' in many ways). The...

I believe that this may have been said to you, and thanks for sharing it here. I am venturing to imagine that you being 'available' means that hypothetically, a) some document went missing while your case is administratively being processed and you need to furnish it again (or perhaps they...

Let's separate the few issues you mention so that you can see your options better: You are correct that once married to ARG citizen you are eligible for a permanent residence here. The same day that you submit all the documents you are being issued a residencia precaria which allows you to...

P.S. Interesting timing of your question as this article was published just today by Huffington Post about 'gayborhoods'. No mention of BsAs but apparently Montevideo is up and coming :-)

I live in Palermo, married to Argie (we got married here in BsAs), and we see lots of same sex (male and female) couples besides us here, not just in Palermo, but also in other barrios. Just in our building there are a few, and we have friends who are same sex couples who live in other barrios...

'... When you live in one place for a long time, and are constantly surrounded by people that speak your language and share your culture, it’s easy to fall prey to the sneaking delusion that you’re not an idiot. The longer you stay there, the older and wiser you think you become. Luckily, moving...

Cheapoair.com displays some low cost carriers, but not all (not ryanair or wizz for example). Given that you want to fly into MIL (as you know there are MXP, LIN and BGY), easy jet has a base at one of the MXP terminals and will display in cheapoair.com (or buy directly at easy jet's web page)...
