Llegan como turistas, pero se quedan a vivir en Buenos Aires Cada vez hay mas exranjeros residentes Ya no es una escena poco frecuente. Encontrar a un alemán comprando clavitos en una ferretería de Villa Crespo. O a un sueco pagando con tickets en un supermercado chino de Monserrat. O a un Philadelphia boy que atiende su celular a la voz de “¡ah! ¿qué hacés, che? Estoy un poco complicado ahora... ¿te puedo llamar en un rato?”, como Jonah Schwartz, de 25 años, el más porteño de los norteamericanos. Llegó al país para estudiar español, en un bar conoció a un grupo de música indie-country llamado Los Alamos y se sumó para tocar la mandolina. Ahora vive en Buenos Aires, de su música y de dar clases de inglés. Todos ellos son expatriados. Es decir, extranjeros que llegaron al país como turistas o visitantes y que, por distintos motivos, decidieron quedarse a vivir en Buenos Aires, al menos por un tiempo. Así se definen a sí mismos. Para ellos la palabra expatriado no tiene la connotación del exilio forzoso. Es un término más romántico que los hace sentir cercanos a Hemingway y que les da sentido de pertenencia y también un punto de encuentro. La Sociedad de Jóvenes Expatriados de Buenos Aires (YesBA, por sus siglas en inglés), por ejemplo, agrupa a muchos de los que emigraron a la ciudad. Entre sus socios figuran 4700 nombres. Todos los meses organizan una fiesta de expats , a la que asisten unas 200 personas.
