A few things I've learned from being in a modern, international, long-distance relationship:
1. Trust is crucial.
2. Quality of web video, access to a working computer with high-speed internet, or lack there of, can cause problems.
3. Men in my country seem a lot less interesting. (Not that I was looking.)
4. The recent time change that now separates time in Buenos Aires and Los Angeles by five hours, in which BA is ahead, really makes life even more difficult. (I don't know how my sister did it with 8 hours separating her and England for so long.) My job serving drinks, and the nocturnal lifestyle that goes along with it, compound the problem. Arriving home tipsy at 3:30 am, getting ready to end the day and logging on to chat in bed, don't bode well with a boyfriend in another hemisphere who's been up for an hour, finishing his cafe and getting ready to head to university.
5. More lifestyle changes than anticipated may be in order.
