Hello techies how they fare? Today I want to tell you about a subject not only to me from sleeping, but all those who collaborated on the blog. I often wonder how is the move in Spain, and want to start counting that I still did not undertake any project, tried it once while I was employed and so the reasons I left, so I'm not a breakthrough that authority to talk about But just as we talk football when we are not football players, as well as criticize when they eat a goal, when a chest cold, when they lay eggs, I will talk about entrepreneurs being an amateur.

I think if you love really take any ideas you have in your head, that this idea may be a copy or original, the latter being exceptional cases, there is no place in the world that can stop you, today the world is globalized, the flights are not very expensive, if you are working in white, the bank can give you a loan to fly somewhere to see more appropriate to take, I mean that we should not make excuses typical, but in this country can not, I work and I have a family, I can not quit a job. Because, again, when really you trust in yourself, nobody will have to be able to brake as you want, nobody and nothing, no taxes of any country, nor corruption, nor pessimism, nothing at all, I read stories fabulous all these happened in the U.S., people pulled out of nowhere and came away a great approach, if met Martin Varsavsky, the account that came to steal food , to Steve Jobs who left the university and slept on the floor of the companions university, cans sold in order to eat and went to the famous temple of Hare Krishna, or Mark Cuban who also slept in a friend's house on a mattress, or Fabrice Grinda who went to China to learn the language and spent three months in appalling conditions learning, spending 4dls per day, there are many stories like that, certainly many more, do not know why people always lived in the United States some time, and I think we should copy them, do not tell you to go to sleep on the floor, send you some trouble to do so, only if you happen, you glad to be alive, to be healthy, your time is yours and that time you can devote to what you love or looking.

With all this, I mean, when I was in Spain, I have no advantage that one Argentine friend can not have, or the country which is not, we know that today have a computer and internet connection and taking the famous "spirit American "sooner or later you can get what you set out, and as Steve Jobs once said, never mind the other, have confidence in yourself and follow your heart, what everyone else thinks is secondary . Even comparing Argentina to Spain, I mean that Argentines have something for very large, we are accustomed to the subi-low and believe us, it is essential for this time's coming. Here in Spain, reading blogs or going to some events, I sometimes descepciono of pessimism that I find, is like the world to come down.

Spain has a great opportunity to start I see no advantage, it seems that you must have money or be the son of wealthy, but it is not, on the contrary, the country is stable, all provinces have good infrastructure, say that you do not be living in Madrid or Barcelona to take you where you can go to Valencia renting out an apartment three times less than in major cities, another important factor is that the food is very accessible, with 100 euros a month you can eat like a king , say that if you live alone, you you can go to Valencia in a shared flat spending $ 300 a month and do what you feel like it for a while. As had on American history, to have food and a roof, the world is at your feet. And if you live in Argentina or in the country it is and you think that Spain is a good chance, I let a phrase once said Luis Maritina Cabiedes, an Angel Investor very famous in Spain (is that very few, and you get fast famous )

His name is Federico Gascon ( www.fedegascon.com ), alias Fede, Argentino based in Madrid.
We discuss your vision in different post from the old world, issues of technology, culture, as well as the effect of economic crisis.
With you Fede:

(Applause OFF) Crystian thank you very much for the presentation

Here is what I can comment from the other side of the pond:

Spain is technologically up to any country in the world, there iphones, n95, Asus EEPC, etc, etc, so if they are more accessible to the exchange rate, while the euro is falling, remains strong. Another issue is that there is enough security, we pay much in taxes but it shows his salary to go quiet with some gadget, but there is always something unexpected but very rare.

Number of Internet users in Europe at Spain is the 7th. but its share locally is 63% , which is not bad, but the bandwidth capacity is the lowest in Europe, due to its monopoly Telefonica. (Or Timofónica )

A high level technological ventures include Panoramio , Fon , EyeOS , Abiquo and Tuenti that social networking is now a local university, there are some others but generally leave many local services, the reasons may be the low level of English of the population and the lack of global ambition of entrepreneurs with one exception. The language is very common for an English word is pronounced in Spanish, for example when you're programming, to "save" is not pronounced as "SEIB" but as "unknown", and also films in cinemas and television are bent Spanish, osea believe that Bruce Willis and Jim Carrey have the same actor

Until next week!
