    It Happened To Me. Visa Entry Problem.

    Goes to show how much Argentina has improved. Now Rudolfo Walsh is let into the country. Back in the day they used to just gun him down in San Cristobál.

    Democrats Abroad In Argentina For Bernie Sanders

    "Remember Dennis Kucinich" is an excellent point. The Democratic Party is extremely efficient and ruthless at squashing any insurgencies from its left. But when it comes to fighting the Republicans on its right they're suddenly the party of "We've Fallen and We Can't Get Up". (We wanted to close...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    Even if we include the surrounding grounds as you say, the CCK is still 5 times larger than the LBJ library. You said the LBJ was larger, and hurled ad-hominems to boot.

    Buenos Aires To Salta By Car?

    Could be Purmamarca or Humahuaca? Either way, I agree. Jujuy city itself is pretty boring, but the trip up north is gorgeous. Purmamarca=7 colours hill, and Humahuaca=quebrada. Both have excellent hiking, stunning scenery.

    Brazil Heads For Worst Recession Since 1901 Optimism Arg

    This is exactly the problem. The "let's just sell stuff to China and Brazil" argument is no longer valid as it was over the last decade. China has turned off the commodities vacuum cleaner. Brazil (due to its size and compounding internal issues) took the first hit, and is already deep in...
