This is a great city. I'm just taking some time out here right now and enjoying life. What's not to like about a meal of delicious steak frites & excellent wine that costs about USD$10. But there's so much more here to discover. Check the blog ...

I haven't tried to find work yet as the whole point of moving here was to have a sebatical year. I'm far from fluent in Spanish right now, and that is a major handicap for anybody looking for work. Technically you should have a visa to work and ... Read More

Well my wife is from here so that had a little bit of influence! :lol: but alas the $ exchange rate also had a lot to do with it. I simply couldn't have afforded to take a year off and stay in Europe or USA. Cheers, Enda Read More
