What is the most underrated choice here in Buenos Aires

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. silly got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the practice run for a while.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Maybe later. It seems like the practical answer. A little friction removed goes a long way.

Same here. It took me too long to learn.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Yes, definitely. It seems like the practical answer. My friend tried it in Manila and had the opposite result.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a trailhead.

I picked Maybe later, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Not for me got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

That last line is excellent. The social part surprised me too.

Not for me got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I noticed the same thing in Lagos.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. This pairs weirdly well with mango sticky rice.

I picked Not for me, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The awkward part is easy to underestimate.
