Spongebum, he has had or initiated the notion of having a 'nice job' two accounts prior to his present alias. If it were so that he were to be in the position of something positive, it would show. However, he still seems to press on hopelessly favoring to complain and investigate and drag everyone else down with him. Well, not I! I say farewell and begone!

Thanks buddy! Well said. They weren't fantasies, I came with an open heart and open eyes, but I didn't feel the experience was a positive one for many, many reasons.

Warm regards

spongbum.. haha.. you sound a little jaded as well. But funny trick with the name though.

Only if you have a helicopter or live at night and sleep during the day. Otherwise, it's just a continuous queue of cars. But Paulistas are very proud of this sh*thole.   I went to Buenos Aires this weekend and before I left my Paulistano colleagues told me how awful it would be, and how all the cars are old, and how I have to be careful about the crime, and how all the Argentinians are rude and secretely dream to be Brazilian.   I've been back in Sampa for two days and would do anything to go back to BA. lol the argentinians generally are. What did you think of them? They have funny haircuts Yes they do. But they live in a fabulous city with delicious food. AND they'd never want to be Brazilian.

Truth. I have never met an Argentine who wanted to be Brazilian

I'm not sure many of them even want to be Argentine, lol

My aunt married an Argentine who never stopped telling you his family was actually British, and how he was raised in British schools, and speaks spanish with a british accent...but he'll admit to having some Italian family

He would drive up to Rio once a year, and torment my Brazilian grandad who was a real patriota, telling him Argentina is the only first world country in Latin Amemerica, that Argentina has no impoverished minorities, that portuguese is only spanish badly spoken...

and so on, lol

Met a few Argentines up in Westport CT, and they would have gotten along well with my uncle, lol

That said, BA is a beautiful city, lively with good restaurants and most importantly (and ironically if you're my age) much more affordable than Brazil

Go figure, right? As my mother would say: "não há como um dia atras do outro"
