jeez, bronzie..i am shocked! i thought you loved the place! now you tell us that you are about to turn tail and run?
i am here, and will stay here, because i am just too darn lazy to pack my stuff, and move on. maybe i am not a sporting man, so i am afraid to gamble. unlike dv8, there was a time when i did like this place. not any more. you have to struggle too hard just to tolerate the people. i have no problems if the tv goes off, or the internet is slow, or there are apagones. my problem is that the place is just too backward. it is still in the 19th century. for instance, a couple of my fellow posters here have communicated their desire to buy some decent headphones, and they had to buy them through ebay and Amazon. there is nothing here. i went to the most recognized hi-fi store in the capital, to check on some stuff, and the so-called premier authority in the country had never seen a headphone amplifier! makes me feel like i am living in medieval times. i went to San Juan 30 years ago, and even way back then they had stuff there that has not yet been heard of in this country.
for me, it is just too middle ages. the thinking of the people, the lack of simple common sense, and the lack of simple information is irksome
i do, however, like the inner generosity of the people. maybe , for me, that overrides the negatives. i am getting up there in years, and when i get sick, these are the people i know will make sure i die a comfortable death.
At first it was paradise, I said to myself I could live here until the day I die and then reality sunk in. :tired: By mistake one day I left the front gate open, went to the backyard to water my garden. Then about 30 minutes later I realized my mistake, went to lock the gate and when I looked towards my left, my ladder was missing! Some asshole came in and took it. One of my sisters who lives here has been robbed twice, now she has a security system, cameras, and an electrical fence. That's no way to live.
