Newcomer beginning to have doubts

Sue, dont listen to those loosers who had talked to you. Argentina gives employ to the citizens, but it is allwise proportional to your knowledges and capacitys. Thats a situation wich who many americans (mostly) crash up here, because they come from a country where any ignorant could get a job handlyng a powe station or whatever in many cases. And here is quite different: you got to earn your employ. There are rich peopleo and poor too... And the culture and knowledges are mostly the key.

Well, Sue, come on down! Here is your first student!

After encouraging you so positively but writing so poorly he OWES it to you as well as to himself to hire you to teach him how to write correctly in English (or at least how to use the spell check)!

Sue (the OP) has either vanished or we have scared her away.

Think of it like a test. If she gets freaked out by what's written here (the condensed truth), then for sure coming here wasn't for her

Yes, as opposed to here where Lawyers and Doctors are working at "powe" stations since it pays about the same!

And if youre an idiot, you get handouts from the Godmother CFK in exchange for votes!

Thought I personally wouldn't want to live in the tropics again, I wonder about Puerto Rico as an option to experience a different cluture (if not a foreign country). I think one of today's posters (in another thread) is either from or has spent significant time there. Perhaps he has some advice for Sue.

From someone who has spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico, it has become a symbol of North American sprawl. Very few walkable places around the island (except for a few plazas and viejo San Juan) huge highways, shopping malls, Walmarts and I think there are more McDonalds and Burger King restaurants than any where else in the world. Horrendous traffic jams, a subway that only has 15 stations and pretty much leads to nowhere, smog, very high levels of violent crime, drug trafficking and 25 percent unemployment. 4 million people stuffed onto an island that is 110 by 35 miles wide and most of it uninhabitable. There are still some very cute small towns WAY HIGH up in the mountains that are only accessible by car driving on mountainside roads. A nice place for an all inclusive vacation, an ecological retreat in their ever shrinking rainforest, some nice beaches, but no place to set up home. Just my 2 cents.......

I think OutLaw is actually Cristina posting, trying to defend herself from some outspoken critics...

Welcome to the Worker's Paradise! Union Members only...no experience or skills needed if you have connections. Gringos, Paraguayans, Brasilians and Bolivians need not apply. Give up your hopes and desires at the door, we give you all that we decide that you need

OutLaw is a pretty cool nick. She gets props for that.

Everybody assumes OP is a gal.

Maybe, she is a Boy Named Sue, which may be a reason she is not fitting in.
