"gusta la chica Portena" todos! BA is a great city to live in. There are so many problems here that they are hardly worth mentioning, so we just get on with living. Same goes for Brazil, although the NE is hairy. Uruguay is safe by comparison but a little too quiet for our flavour, Check it out with A as he is the man on the spot. I used to do business in Bangkok and have traveled a little through Thailand. Did the elephant caravan out of Chan Mai once. Great country, people and food. Love them all. Where is home for you in Italy? regards f9
My home is in Bologna but I'm often in Modena (my mother's home = best food ever ) Ahh Chiang Mai, that's my base when in Thailand, with frequent trips to BKK for nightlife and Samui for beach bumming Yup BA, big problems, great city though.
I was reading in BW recently about all the Americans retiring in Costa Rica. They did mention a few other popular places like BA. I am in New Jersey but will be moving soon. Haven't really thought about moving out of the US though I have lived in Asia. (When I first saw that pic of a beach my thought was Bondi.... guess I was pretty far off!!! )
There is no infrastructure in the CR. Panamà is better but grossly overpriced at the moment. regards f9
We rented a casa a few clics out of Lucca, just off the Pisa road a few years ago. We were there for the summer. You can send a life time in any one region in Italy and never fully discover it. regards f9
I've been a cosmopolitan all my life. Have visited almost every country except maybe those with constant turmoil. Lived many years in the states, still have a residence in Florida, one in the Caribbean and recently sold one in London. Punta del Este is different and eccentric. Off summer it is the most peaceful small town you can imagine. The quality of life for raising children is top notch. However, during summer time it is possibly the most exclusive place to be in South America, population grows from 20k to 300k and it becomes a party town of the rich between say end of dec. to beg of feb. A little too much for me so during those times I visit the lower States, Europe or the Caribbean. Lucky for me kids start classes in March and are off in July/Jan/Feb. Anek
UNfortunately Panama is no longer the secret it once was and the amount of construction and build up is making it a little pricier but still very nice for a good mix of foreign country costs and benefits mixed with comforts of home.
We talked about live calls right? Shorted hoping for a fade during market open. Got stopped out, in again. Tight stop at breakeven... Update... out for small profit. Saw the trendline touch and on the smaller time frame charts some strength. EDIT: long again on the downtrendline break Out for small loss.
