    Recently, I was made aware that moving to Argentina cured a 'disease' I had never heard of, called Analysis Paralysis or overthinking when facing too many alternatives.

    When I lived in Italy, when I traveled to the US I was overwhelmed by the product choice in American supermarkets.

    Now that I am living in Argentina, when I travel to Italy I am overwhelmed by the product choice in Italian supermarkets.

    I will be traveling to India on the next (Argentinian) spring and I will report back. 8)

    If choices are overwhelming you I suggest that you go to Venezuela. Should be a calming environment.

    I understand there are no difficulties in finding hotel reservations.

    Room service might be a bit iffy, though.

    Living in Argentina has a grounding effect and you learn to live without.

    In Venezuela, food is now on the luxury-item list. Oh yeah, and don't get sick.

    On a Facebook page I saw a post about the many Venezuelan coming to Argentina and their will to work. They also aren't much involved in crime.

    During our last moving sale we found a Venezuelan guy buying a lot of cheap cookware and we threw in a few extras. I am very sorry for those Venezuela who are fleeing their country because of that crazy dictator and I am appalled that in Argentina many Cristina's supporter are also Maduro's supporters by proxy. Venezuelans in Buenos Aires rightfully tell them to move to Venezuela if they like that much that mindset.

    It is hard enough for me to imagine how anyone supports Cristina. But Maduro? Impossible.

    You missed the pro-Maduro March in Buenos Aires last month? It wasn't even the first I heard of!

    I think we should spread the voice that they are giving away free-choripans in Venezuela, arrange transportation and ship them all to Venezuela (and the close the border).

    El kirchnerismo marcha en Buenos Aires por Maduro

    Las agrupaciones kirchneristas que integran Unidos y Organizadosmarcharán mañana a la Embajada de Venezuela para expresar el respaldo al gobierno del presidente Nicolás Maduro, ante la crisis política que atraviesa ese país.

    You were paralyzed by the thought of posting? Or am I over-analyzing this?
