2. Good.

3. That's a wise answer. You don't know how many argentineans I heard in the internet say "The Malvinas are ours!", and other stuff. For me, they don't understand that they lost the islands in an era that it was normal to start wars for just land.

Well, it is indeed a cultural melting pot.

And regarding the current government, the president ordered everybody in the government to post online, in the government's website, their income and origins of it since "they work for the people and is the people they ought to be accountable to". Thus, charges like "elevator manager" (USD 20000/month) and "personal maid" (USD 50000/month) among others were visible to the private sector; whilst the public sector being majority began rallying because "it was an inhuman action from the president and he deserves being couped for messing with our jobs". Would you expect somebody trying to destroy the status quo to be loved for it?

Well, no. But look at your country's economy. Its fantastic!

Your GDP is growing, inflation and unemployment are going down, you have only ~15% of debt, the economic creditors rated you stable and positive and your currency is booming! That's great, no?

Hey, anyone could suggest me to a good university that is "Realistically reachable?" I'm shuffling for opts here. I am thinking of going to Finland/Singapore/Canada for my education. I'm taking meds or engineering. Any suggestion is welcomed

Without any information we can't really help you. What's realistically reachable is different for everyone.

I have a party to attend tonight but also am sick, am trying to sleep the day off and be ready to go at night. Blah unconvenient cold\cough\throat stuff.

Last weekend I napped instead of going to a party and it was the best decision I've ever made

It's surprising what can be done by somebody with the means and the commitment. Now we're dealing with a project for industrial parks. Hopefully, it'll help getting their first job to plenty of young adults as well as training. And then, support as the link between the Agriculture and Commerce properly.

Our industry as a whole must still overcome the hand-made level to reach the mechanization. That's still suffering plenty of opposition from people who don't want to participate in any sort of training... A bit of a cultural issue that's usually described as: "Les gusta hacer las cosas va'i va'i nomas."

I was told that Canada can be good for engineering. However, I lack of enough knowledge and experience to compare it with Finland and Singapore.

Good decision, going to a party feeling ill can be hell.

What I meant realistically reachable is a university that is not an ivy league or top university, a university does not require a ton of money for a school year (E.g 100.000 USD), and a university that has some wacky requirements.
