Why Tipping Abroad can be Insulting {Gadling}
May 22nd 2007 2:58PM True, it is hard work and the system in place, it is second nature to those in the US & Canada, but in Europe and South America, tipping can be quite an insult.

Buenos Aires: Newest Expat Oasis {Gadling}
Jun 4th 2006 1:22AM Thanks Neil,
I agree that many expats aren't really "expats" but moreso uninformed imperialist maily looking to "party". It is a sad sight, and Buenos Aires has a fair share of them. For me it is better to see people come to a yesba event and try to speak Spanish than go to an American sports bar and "hoot" for sports the locals here find quite strange. On the bright side, there are many educated people coming here to learn and to share positive aspects of their culture as respectful ambassadors of goodwill. Thanks for the blog and the site.
Saludos!

Buenos Aires: Newest Expat Oasis {Gadling}
May 28th 2006 4:40PM Interesting take on BA, I wonder why you would have "cringed" after seeing the http://YESBA.org site. They were founded by http://HELPArgentina.org which works with over 50 NGOs in the area and puts normally "loud and abusive" expats to work for social postive causes. I like your weblog and just thought I would ask why you cringed. I would also like to say that after living here for a few years, the hey day is pretty much gone, but rent has quite rarley been under $250.00. I think the Washingpost article glorifies the reality of Buenos Aires, most of the cities many villas are run by chieftens and according to Clarin over 500 children sleep on the street everyday. I would say many more and keep in mind this is not a tropical climate these days. Its jacket and hat weather.
