To all of you: thank you! I won’t say I exaggerated, since those are my actual feelings, but I have to say that I don’t feel life is unbearable, I’m overall very happy, but always looking for ways to improve; might this be at work or related to my personal life and what I (we) want to do with it.

I do agree on Bariloche City, although it's surroundings are breathtaking. I also agree on the superficial part, although I have always been able to meet "the right people" wherever I've been. I've really thought on moving near Esquel, but I'd have to find something to do there first. Actually I’m argentinian, and born and raised in Bariloche, who would of guessed?!

I find the people aggressive, rather superficial and hard to make friends with. Some people who have stayed a short time may disagree but my experience is that a kiss on the cheek and the use of the word "un beso" doesn't mean much. You seem mostly concerned about crime and the lack of accessible nature. If you can't return to Germany (is this your country?) you should consider moving somewhere else in Argentina - somewhere in the south (not Bariloche - it's an uninspiring city with its own problems). I'd like to discuss this further but not on the web. Maybe you could send me a personal email.
