The problem with roommates is universal. Some people are simply not able to live with anyone else, and that’s why they should be confined to places where no one has to deal with them. So I’m not going to talk about that kind of people. Sociology or anthropology should take care of them. I dedicate my life to the study of Porteño behavior, so I’m going to talk about this group of people in particular.

Case #1
Foreigner- Porteño
Let’s just say that you are blonde and that you came from a place where Spanish is not the native language. You have been living in a hostel for 2 weeks and you’ve decided to stay longer. You think that a good way to learn the language/culture or simply to have your own room, is to share a house with the locals. You’ve done this in other countries, so there’s nothing to worry about.

You’ve met a lot of Porteños in bars (mostly in Palermo or San Telmo) and you think they are the friendliest people on earth. What could go wrong living with one of these cheerful creatures for a month or two?
You check out some places until you decide to stay in one of them.
Your living-with-Porteños experience is about to begin.
There are a lot of different types, I’m going to expose just a few.
