Question BA - how are things there?

I hear the economy has gone to shambles.....

At the turn of the 20th Century their Economy rivaled the US and Canada and the UK

Anyone one here with their feet on the ground, or been there?

FYI, BA is for The City of Buenos Aires, which is the capital of Argentina in South America.

Thanks, I was trying to think of a country that could be referred to as BA and came up with nothing. Thanks for the info.

Coincidently I met a girl from Buenos Aires in the suana at my local gym yesterday. (Absolutely gorgeous by the way...only girl I've ever seen come into a 24 Hour Fitness Sauna with a bikini on). This thread was the first thing I thought about when she told me where she was from so I asked her about it. She confirmed that the economy has pretty much gone to ****. She left Argentina to find a job in the U.S. as she has some sort of graduate degree. Went to Detroit first because she has family there (not much of an improvement, right), now she's in Houston. Really nice girl. I've always heard folks from Argentina were kind of stuck up but she really surprised me.

On my visit a few years ago it was my impression that BsAs felt more European than South American. Everyone smoked for one, the women were tall, blonde and disinterested and things were expensive. The people I met were pleasant but didn't go out of their way for you. I would imagine there are exceptions of course.

SO you are a very traveled man......

There are always exceptions to the rules....

That is what most on here are looking for.....

God, if I wasn't a happily married man, I would chase Lucky Girl to the ends of the earth....

Off Topic, @ JW, if we both were a lot younger, we may have a chance with Luck Girl. The man that ends up with Lucky girl is a Lucky man.
