You nailed it! The prices are up to 200 rmb for an SW, but the rest is about the same. I have seen the Xiamen symphony perform a couple of times and they are pretty good also. I do like to go to the island, but not on the weekends as it is too crowded.
Lots of nice places to explore here. And the other night a friend hooked up with a cute Columbian gal. At one of the more active ex-pat bars!
I could do a lot worse for sure!

And sitting down in the open air, having a steam fish, and stir-fry vegetables along the sea.
You have it good.

I lived for 2. 5 years in Shenzhen and then 1. 5 years in Chang Ping (Which is ground zero for "fun times" in China) , I have had some awesome times here and some very frustrating ones as well.
I have a few co-workers from Mexico, Equador, etc and when I try to practice my very rusty Spanish, it is always a laugh because I will forget a word or phrase and use Chinese instead and don't even realize it until they start laughing.
I have grown to appreciate the Asian ladies, but still think the Porteno gals are the most sexy and beautiful of any I have seen when taken as a group. I will give you an example. The Chinese gals usually have really pretty legs and love to wear short skirts and what I will call "Fuck me shoes", but most of the time they have a pair of "boyshorts" under the skirt or something sown in so that it can't / won't get tooo short and as most things in China, the look it the important thing. They take a lot of work to get "warmed up"! I have only known one Chinese girl that wore thong undergarments and she had a foreign boyfriend for 5 years before I met her.
As I said before I know things have changed drastically in Argentina, but I do want to come back and try to make some new memories!

Hello, All,
I wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving from the other side of the planet. From 2003-2008, I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in BsAs, and have some very good memories of the Thanksgiving dinners that Jackson hosted in celebration of the holiday. I went to a couple in a local restaurant as well as one or two in the "Mansion". As I recall a good time was had by all and a little bit of charity was accomplished as well.
I have adopted that part here in China, where I have been residing for the last 5 years.
Not sure when / if I will return to Argentina, but I miss it, and although I am sure things are not the same, some things will always be Argentina.
If any of you makes your way to S. E Asia, please let me know. I will try to provide a litte insight.
Sky
