Back to the US of A
We're back from Uruguay and Argentina with very fuzzy brains after a 13-hour plane ride. Hours later, the roar of the airpline engine still rattles my head.
All in all, a very good trip. I learned very little about marketing, though. The only good tip I have is if you can cook a steak like an Argentian, you might have a future in Gaucho Grills throughout the U.S. Of course my kids groused that the papas frites don't come with ketchup (an easily remedied situation).
And if you want to market to Uruguay, think about some form of anti-polltant car or bus. You can see why the penguins are dying once you're behind a bus in Montevideo.
South America isn't ga-ga over the U.S. In fact, it's a very diffferent world with very different concerns. No massive school killings over there. And that's sort of how they want it to be.
