You missed the most important part.I think 13 is enough for a while. Enjoy.
- I like to live in a place the city is that green in a genuine way (and not the fake West Palm way)
- I like it here because I like that there is a unique blend of Europeans (let's forget of the indios for a moment)
- I like to imagine the first colonists who arrived here with very little and had a new land to discover and cities to build
- I like to watch at the oldest buldings of the 1800's and imagine how was Buenos Aires 100 years ago to those who arrived here from so far and had the city to shape
- I like that there are so many places where you can have a cheap meal just for the sake of hanging out with friends (a thing I could no longer afford in Italy)
- I like the limited choice of vegetables and fruit which are just the seasonal ones, and not incredibly red strawberries 365 days a year like at Publix
- I like that taking a public mean of transport is very convenient compared to owning a private car (in Italy, if you travel in at least 2, it is cheaper to go by car)
- I like to live in a country where I am not overcontrolled by mean of interconnected databases and cams and the like.
- I like to live in a place where there are very little (recent) immigrants from the third world who cannot seem to integrate with the society
- I like to live in a country where I don't have to pass a metal detector every time I enter a public office, like you have to in the US
- I like that people here give you a genuine smile and a say a nice line not because they are instructed to by the management and fear customer complains
- I like that here you queue to get on a bus or a train, in a such disciplined manner that I would never expect to find in Latin America
- I like that the people here are not obsessed with being tanned and skinny and wearing branded clothes, nor about parading their asses/titties at every chance they get (I imagined LatinoAmericans as J.Lo and Nicky Minaj, sorry - it pleased by their simplicity and lack of taste by the fashion standards)
