    How Has South America Changed You?

    Hayo Magazine (an online publication started by a Columbian expat who lived in Buenos Aires for a while as a grad student) has published an article that goes with this thread a bit. #1-#11 follow. Interesting read and I think I agree with pretty much all of the points...

    Red Wrist Bands/threads

    I don't think that this is "past tense". I have an amiga in LA who is very into Kabbalah. (She posted photos from the Purim party she attended Wednesday night... and she's a Midwestern W.A.S.P.) And she totally wears the red bracelet thing. I went to a wedding in Brazil 11 years ago and I...

    Is There Anyplace To Buy Land Cheap Here?

    Usually when old buildings are dirt cheap in Germany, it's because the buyer is required to restore the building to its original splendor. So if you can afford to do all of the restoration (or you have the patience and the knowledge to do so), then you can buy the property dirt cheap. THEN...

    La Presidenta

    I wasn't the one to claim that Canada's political scandals were boring. I just pointed out that the nickname used was meant to correlate to Canada, not the U.S. But I hardly think that the drug addiction of a mayor holds a candle to the circus that is Argentine politics.

    Moving Home With Argentine Car.

    Currently, they do NOT drive "FIAT"s in the US except for various forms of the new FIAT 500: http://www.fiatusa.com/en/ FIAT kind of has ownership over Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep now (I think), so they might introduce other models in the future, but FIAT's return to the US has only been in the last 3...

    Ciudadanía / Citizenship

    My "language test" was some clerk going and finding my file while I stood at that counter outside the juzgado office where they keep a bazillion files like it's the 1950s. The clerk returned to the counter and started asking me a few questions in Spanish like- -How long have you been here...

    Juan Roman Riquelme Retires

    His 2007 up until (but NOT including) the Copa America final, he was a puppet master on the grandest scale. But he is an awfully bitter human being.

    Nisman Dead!

    1) Bajo isn't a Cyber K. He just has opinions that are frequently different/opposed to many on this board. 2) Ariel can be right, and he can be wrong. Interesting read in Spanish about the journalist fleeing the country for his safety...

    Being An Argentine In The Us Is Tough

    Every South African I ever met in the US was/is white... and Jewish. Every South African I ever met in Argentina except for one was/is white... less than half were Jewish. PS- The girl in the video is Venezuelan... and Jewish. She's got oodles of Ashkenazi blood, so her reactions to "where...
