So my girlfriend's visa has been approved for Oz and which means after a touch over 2 years the time has come for me (us) to leave Argentina just after new years. I thought I would sign off now because we will be heading north to spend xmas and new years with my girlfriends family and friends.
It certainly has been one hell of a ride (albeit shorter than many others') and despite plenty of complaining it has been a pretty dam good experience, I must say. I will take with me a much better Spanish, better patience and clearly the most important thing, the love of my life which I will forever (hopefully) be indebted to this country for
Most of all I am going to miss the Argentine friends I have made & my colleagues (all of which are pretty good value and a good laugh, open and sociable!), the vibrancy of the city and the fact there is always something happening (good or bad!), the meat and wine, the ice cream, empanadas!!, the fact people aren't punctual (because neither am I ) and a host of other things. The good news is we should be back regularly...
And what I won't miss? Well there's a cpl of things but no need for me to go there.
I want to thank everyone here for all their help, its been such a great source of info and there are some fantastic and intelligent people around these traps. I wish you all the best and hopefully will swing by from time to time.
PS We have a few things left to sell which I have uploaded in to the classifieds section of the forum (with prices, in pesos), including:
- washing machine
- whiteboard (with tripod and markers)
- dining table + 4 chairs
- little outside plastic table + 2 chairs and 2 stools
- wardrobe
I live in Palermo (a cpl of blocks from Libertador and Av Las Heras) so they can be picked up from there.They are all in decent condition and less than 2 years old so PM me if interested!!
