no floor at the bottom of the building.

So at this point...

I had been here for a couple days and I learned a few words. I wanted to go for a walk, so Susan gave me the key and I left. I found the elevator door to be strange. I did not remember it from when I arrived.

I guess that was because she opened and shut it when we came in and I was managing my bags.

The door is a stamped aluminum contraption with slats that turned to stack up when you pulled it open. You cant really call it a sliding door though. and you have to do it twice because when the elevator arrives there is one on the elevator too.

So I push "1" and wait. When it stops I felt G-forces. There is no soft landing at all. I open the doors and exit - shut them and turn. Nothing but apartment doors. We lived there for another year and I did get to know a lot of people on the second floor because their button said "1" all the time.

The other thing is

The damn thing is called an ascensor of all things, as if I was only going to want to ascend all the time. The of all things, you have to subir or bajar the ascensor. Subir means to go up and bajar means to go down. Quite confusing.

I would always punch "1" then be surprized

I kept hearing those same words when we got in or out of the car, train, bus, or elevator, so I question what everyone told me about their meaning being go up or ** go down**. That's my story and I am sticking to it!

As a consolation, when someone rings the bell and you are inviting them to come up (to the 4th floor for example) to visit, You use subir and any of its 73 formations.

I will be continuing to highlight the differences I had noticed and which are good, bad, or indifferent as I blog here on Hive. Thanks for stopping in to hear my thoughts.

I am just a geek who spent half his life in the other land down under.

Since you are here I hope you stay and let us enjoy your stories. Here is hopefully not a copy of the other platform or a reward might be a problem.

Happy stay in Argentina!

I am from Chicago and I have seen gangsters in action, "It would be a shame if something happened to your little pizza joint, if you get my drift..."

I stopped posting over there and was planning to bring my work here. None of my content is AI, illegal, or anything other than original. You are welcome to not vote for me. There are 5 or 6 more posts coming here and then I will make new ones that build on that context.

In my opinion, people moving here from the other platform would be a good thing. There is a lot of talk and I am one of the first to want to move here. Strife is a terrible thing and a platform killer.

I brought all mine here and had no problem. I wonder who this person is and what they mean to do. Give it a try. You have my support.

My little pizza joint? Are you threaten me because you are from Chigago or seen gangsters in action?

As you noticed you are voted for so the only one who would be in trouble is me and it seems not only because I don't stick to the rules but you seem to threaten me and so does @bytzz 🤔

I wish you both the best and a merry xmas or end of December if there's nothing to celebrate.

Thanks for the talk. Who knows I vote this commemt of yours it's a good one.

I am not threatening anyone. I saw this, "Here is hopefully not a copy of the other platform or a reward might be a problem." and it looked like a threat from you against me.

I am hoping to have a good blog here on Steemit and for people to appreciate my content. Merry Christmas to you @steemcurator07 !
