syngirl said:Steve -- don't think I'm on a hate campaign against Argentina -- if you read my post I do state that what I'm writing is an extremist post though based on fact. And it is. All are facts in there, it just shows how easy it is to write about a subject using facts and make sure that your reader draws conclusions that are either by and large negative or by and large positive.
I never thought that you are on a hate campaign for a second. What made you think I did? Critical analysis (even when negative) is not the same thing as hate. I did not use the term (though I'm about to).
I think Kevin (isn't it time we address him by his name since he shared it with us?) might find life very difficult in CF and I think (at least I hope) he is beginning to realize it. It is the one area, however, where he will be able to find a room in a shared apartment or house and perhaps he can make some money working for expats (if he has some skills). I can't suggest other areas such as Cordoba or Mendoza as I have never been there. Unfortunatley, I can't suggest he move where I am, either. He simply doesn't have the skills or the resources to "survive" here and there are no other expats anywhere near his age (there are none anywhere near my age, either). At least he can make friends with other expats in his age range in CF and perhaps he'll be able to "network" enough to survive.
If he only comes here with $3000 (as I suggested in another thread) and can't support himself here after spending all of it he will have to leave. Why should he come here and spend any more than that in a losing effort? Since he's never been to BA there's also the possibility that, after three to five months (especially if things "go wrong" in any major way) he could actually come to "hate" it, too.
