Life in Latin America*

Right now, my IP address registers as being in Germany. Seriously. Every site I go to thinks I'm in Germany. I talked to my roommate, and for the past few weeks, within a few blocks it is all Deutschland in Argentina, cyber-wise.

It's not that annoying. I can't use gmail.com, but mail.google.com works (gmail is apparently trademarked in Germany by someone who isn't Google). Some financial sites are giving me problems, but there are workarounds. Still, it's odd. Life in Latin America*.


* This isn't really fair. But I've heard a fair amount of Argentines and other Latin Americans say things like "Life in Latin America" so I will say it too.
