I disagree about the remaining parts of the park. I did the entire circuit in March and it was gorgeous. I only spent a day hiking through the affected areas from the wildfire earlier this year. Some photos from Torres del Paine/Fitz Roy...

I was in El Calafate/El Chalten in March of this year. Be warned that both towns are very expensive. Make sure you have all of your gear already bought and try not to eat out a lot, if you're on a budget. El Chalten is in a great location for hiking. There are trails that start from the city.

Not sure if anyone was following this, but figured I'd update. She had no problem getting her US work visa.

My girlfriend has been living in Argentina for 2 years now, and had a DNI. It expired in March and she didn't want to pay to renew it for a whole year when she knew she was leaving soon. I know this wasn't the smartest thing to do. She got accepted for a summer internship in Washington D.C...

Yes, both times I've went (once with a friend) there was hardly any wait. It's kind of hard to find, I believe the entrance is actually on Av. Chile.

Some good suggestions. Gibraltar can get super crowded, that's why I usually go to a place like Breoghan's. I'll add Krakow, it's at Venezuela 474. Decent prices, good atmosphere.

Look at this idiotic post.

It's an invite for bad beer.

Phuket on Honduras isn't bad. Not sure how "authentic" it is, but it's tasty. Here's the menu (prices are a little higher than what they have printed): http://www.phuketwok.com.ar/descargas/menu-phuket-web.pdf

Wine is pretty much the only thing left in Argentina that remains a bargain. At least for me, anyway.

Thanks, Wee-Bey.

I've bought similar antibiotics from the pharmacy without a prescription. Write the name out on a piece of paper and take it to them. You'll probably get it without any trouble.

I had no idea you were unhappy here.

Things are pretty bad for most people in Indonesia. I traveled through some very poor villages, but never felt like I was in danger of any kind. There's definitely a cultural element at play here.

I'm leaving on Sunday, after spending almost a year here in total. Finally getting down to Patagonia and then spending some time near Salta. Can't wait to see this part of Argentina. Leaving BsAs is bittersweet. Part of me can't wait to get out of this crazy place, but the other part will...
