What Do You Miss The Least From Home? (Ba Cast Survey)

[Ferf]

Hi, this is Fer from BA Cast, the Buenos Aires Podcast (www.bacast.com or radioleonline.com live Tuesdays at 8PM).

In the past, the members of the forum have kindly contributed with their opinions that we quoted in discussions on the show. We want to ask that favor again!

We want to know what you DON'T miss at all from home, no matter how small, no matter how fed up you are with BA...

Thanks!

I do not miss:
The lack of taxis and decent public transport.
The inability to walk many places due to lack of side walks and crossings.
The lack of stores where you live because of zoning.
The lack of actual butchers and bakers (instead of so much mega chain stores).

Thanks Chet! Which city you're from?

What Chet said plus:

Extreme changes in weather day to day.
Lack of global perspective from general population (but then again, I hung out with fewer expats than I do now).
Constant commercialism.
Litigious atmosphere.
Bread.

 

[thorsten]

Restaurants that close early
Lack of cheap and omnipresent taxis
People that only enjoy their lives for 2 weeks, i.e., when on holiday
Weather and cold winters

I do NOT miss:

* A lack of employment.
* Doubting if I can afford to go to the doctor, dentist, etc. due to not having health insurance (or very poor coverage).
