What a strange new world we&#8217;re living in.  In Buenos Aires still, off to Uruguay tomorrow.  Will meet with fellow SOAS pal Marc tonight, which should be fun.

		<title>So far&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A tour de force, and only one week has passed!  Beginning in Chile, where two days were spent to see whether the December 13 poll contain some risk to the markets.

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted here in a while, but fret not, I am seriously thinking of resurrecting my blogging endeavours and write a bit more regularly about work-related issues I face each day, so less with a Central Asia, more with a global emerging market focus.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s packing time again.  Can you believe it&#8217;s already 17 months since I moved to Groningen?  Me neither, time&#8217;s been flying at an insane speed.
