guestThank You!, I currently live in Brasil. I'm retired from the USA and my pension and savings are OK. I am soooo tired of people spending 2 weeks in Rio and then planning to move here. When they ask my advice and I tell them the same things you have in these articles, they think I'm lying to them. S.A. is a region that one day will equal the life found in developed countries, right now a person interested in moving here must get a realistic perspective. I will send this link to those people who asked for my advice and tell them to swap Brasil with Argentina.
guestI have 3 reasons why not to go to Argentina... 1. Argentines are very arrogant, self centered and pretentious. 2. Argentines don't like foreigners and many don't like themselves. 3. Argentina is very very very far! Monthly shopping trips to Miami not an option. Move to COLOMBIA! Terrific all around and has a buffet of climates to offer. Plus only 3 hrs from USA;-)
