    Another Argentina Story........

    Cruizes, Im delighted that someone at least wants to hear your story and offer to help. With elections looming the Afip is busy with the big grains companies looking for billions in tax evasion so this case may or not be investigated and prosecuted but either way you can feel happy you did...

    Argentine things you've been converted to....

    7pm is second sitting dining in my home country where my mother still tries to serve me dinner at 5pm when I visit. I second the vote for late dining here because it is civilized late dining that covers everyone from 8pm to 2am unlike late dining cities like Madrid which is so damned pompous...
