I never had when I lived in Venezuela; I was always looking south, always wanting to go back to Chile, always nostalgic for my extended family. When I came here, I said, "No, I will cut off all this. I will be Willie's wife, and I will form another extended family here" "Isabel Allende…

massacre? Ignore it.” “Someone needs help? Look to the other side” But the phrase which irritates me the most is “We are fine, we could be like the Venezuela but we aren’t, you should considerate yourself lucky.” WHY are we supposed to be that conformist?

The examples given in this article show that when leaders of companies speak…

In China, they think brands advertised on television are more creditable, so one would see more TV advertisement there.
