I am Job seeker.
My expat journey
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D., Argentina
Well, I basically studied at a local university. In my free time, I walked around the city, ate some local cuisine, and met some amazing Argentines at various social events.
I was a student studying abroad there in capital federal.
What can I say? I loved everything about the city, culture, and even the porteno language. I especially loved the people, who are friendly and outgoing, once you get to know them. They allowed me to become very sociable when I speak Spanish.
Don't get me talking on the food. Empanadas and milanesas and pizza are my favorite cuisines.
Argentine wine, the malbec, is the best!
Well, there were many protests going on throughout the city, especially since it was an election year. Secondly, the gap between the rich and the poor is so huge and fairly noticeable, as homeless people would sleep anywhere around the city.
