I have to be honest. I am well in my 4th year in Argentina and guess what, I am absolutely not wondering why on earth I moved to this country. I guess my friends and family have given up wondering why, and to anybody else who still does; I now always give the same answer : I am crazy.

I must be, right?

With 100.000 readers, 238 posts and a permanent visa in my hands, I think it is time to move on. Not to another country, I am definitely staying, but away from the initial title ‘why on earth…?’ I don’t want to linger any longer on the why. The longer I am here, the more I integrate, the more everything here seems so obvious, and the less I can put my finger on the Why’s. Argentina isn’t perfect, but I love it anyway. And every time I travel to Belgium I know I have done the right thing by moving here. I have no intention to leave, not yet.

So its time to change the title of this blog, time to change the lay out. Time for something new. I would like to thank my readers, for everyone commenting on my blog. I will be around, and be free to still follow me on my new road. Please hang around and see what it will be like… I hope you will still like it!

    Para mi, despues de 17 viajes, varias permanencias y 36 anos de enlace, la Republica Argentina no es solamente mi segunda patria, sino el pais de maravillas. Tras dictadura, tras destape, tras crisis, tras Malvinas, tras todo tipo de locura, el pais de maravillas. Por que si, soy loco y orgulloso en mi locura, yo mismo! Me siento comodo bajo el Ombu. Y vos tambien, creo.

    I enjoy Reading each of your post, they are very fun to read. I have to say that you are very brave to have moved to Argentina. Argentina is a difficult country, specially now. Everything is so corrupted that is hard to love the country. Don’t get me wrong, Argentina is beautiful, the problem is the politicians

      Thanks. You are right, but dont stop loving this country because of the politicians. Hopefully a change will come…

    It’s so good to have some company in my locura — I don’t know many people in my little corner of the US who are as mad for Argentina as I am! I look forward to seeing what you’ll do with your new blog design!

    Encontré tu blog de casualidad , buscando información de apertura de cuentas en el exterior!
    Me llamó mucho la atención el titulo, “Why on earth..”, y aca estoy!
    Un blog precioso, felicitaciones, un placer en esta tarde de lluvia ver las fotos y los escritos.
    Sin dudas un pais hermoso, con gente linda, pero con una conducta colectiva suicida.
    Por ahi lei el “Ojalá venga un cambio” Va a venir…algún dia vendrá..
    Nada escapa al tiempo , nada es eterno.
    Lamentablemente y con muchísimo dolor, algunos estamos empezando a dejar esta tierra, por motivos básicos de convivencia: seguridad y ética (esto último, borrado de nuestro vocabulario).
    Quizás el milagro ocurra, pero hay períodos que las masas tienen que recorrer para que un cambio se produzca, y no son cortos.
    Por haber vivido el Alemania (y haber salido corriendo), es que coincido en el placer de estos cielos con “soles”, tan ausentes por aquellos lados, de esa comunicación tan espontánea de nuestra gente, y que hace sentir, por lo general , a todos los extranjeros, tan a gusto.
    Un placer haberte encontrado.

    Saludos
