  Living abroad can be hard!
Updated 15 June 2003, 10.11
Buenos Aries, the capital of Argentina
Jenny lives in Argentina and misses lots of things about the UK - particularly chocolate and Harry Potter!

"I have been living in Argentina for a while now and we are hoping to move on soon but we don't know when.

It is really annoying because I have just finished school and I don't know what continent I will be returning to school in!

I miss chocolate!

Here, we don't get all the stuff you can in the get in the UK like Twixes, Mars bars, baked beans, books in English (I won't be reading the new HP book on Saturday!).

The Order of the Phoenix
It gets really frustrating because I can't join in all the cool competitions and stuff on Newsround or in the UK like I want to and there is not much of that here (everything's in Spanish and it's too hard to do in a foreign language!).

Lucky to learn a new language

Everyone says I should be happy about having the chance to come all the way out here and learn a new language but I miss so much!

All my friends and family are back in the UK and if anything happens to them, it would take about 20 hours to get all the way over there.

I hope to come back to the UK so I can be part of so much more!

Be grateful!

For all you Brits, be grateful next time you eat a chocolate bar and think of all those who can't in the world!

Jenny (A Harry Potter Fan!), 14, Buenos Aires, Argentina
