Know Your BA Expats

[Macanudo]

Not sure if this article from 2013 has already surfaced here. I would be classified under type number 6, even though I haven't posted in my Tango blog in over a year. http://www.argentinaindependent.com/life-style/expat-life-style/know-your-ba-expats/

It's missing the most common one: has not one single good thing to say about the country, yet mysteriously stays anyway

The article missed the tango dancer expat.

 

[Ries]

not even close to any of those.
and I dont dance tango, or have an argentine partner, either.

How about the "appreciates argentina for what it really is" expat?

Author of this piece trying too hard and overspecified for each 'type' . In short I think it breaks down into these types with people often being more than one type.

Why people end up in Argentina?

1-exiled to escape the law of own country - or family..
2-con artist always on the move
3-lost in life/looking for adventure or change
4-looking for 'exotic' partner(s)
5-opportunist/investor
6-retired/semi retired
7-have argentine family connections

What else?
