Ola! Que Tal? First of all can I just say, what an amazing website! I was reading a lot of the post's that were put up in the forum over the past few days, and they were just brilliant! I particularly loved the one on dating in Argentina. A topic that was discussed a lot amongst foreigners (and locals) when I was living in Brazil. Every country has these cultural boundaries, and the more time you spend in a country, the more you start to realise just how different these culture boundaries can be. Sometimes it can be a bit of a shock to the system, especially when you first arrive and are use to your own custom and cultures. Its nice to be able to share these experiences with others who understand the cultural differences, and to give people an insight into a different way of life. That, and to have the reassurance that you are not going mad lol. After spending the last 6 months in Brazil, the more time I lived there the more I noticed just how different the "dating etiquette's" can be. It was a great insight into a different way of life, and one that i really enjoyed. Keep the posts coming!
Anyhow, I just thought I'd say hello (G'day) to everyone. As you've probably already guessed, I'm Australian. I'v spent the last 6 years (on and off) traveling and living through various parts of the world. I'v spent most of my time in South East Asia & Asia, NZ, Australia & Brazil, but have also done a small amount traveling through Europe.
Probably one of the most crazy and amazing experiences I had was living and traveling throughout India. What an incredible country!
I arrived in this enchanting city two weeks weeks ago, after spending the past 6 months living in Salvador and Rio. I'm currently applying for jobs at the moment (fingers crossed), and if all goes well I hope to spend the next year or two (at least) in this beautiful city. What can I say, it was love at first sight.
I'm really keen to catch up and meet some new people who are living here (both Argentinian and foreigners).
So if anyone is keen to catch up for a coffee or a drink, or if they have any event nights where the expats get together , I would love to come along.
Also, on a separate note, does anyone by chance know how (online)/ or where I can go do unlock my LG phone? I didnt realise until the other day that it is locked to Brazilian networks.
Cheers Joanna
