    Expats in Mendoza.... anyone out there?

    @johnst I'll promise to keep your secret safe. Of course, in reality, being mugged isn't really all that bad. It was a great chance for me to practice my Spanish but alas negotiating with ladies of the night is still beyond my reach. I love crime and feel so at home here. Mendoza is every...

    Lost Bank Card.

    I got caught out a few years ago in Uganda without a working card. Visa were able to MoneyGram money down to me which I picked up. It was a bit of a hassle but they'll do it in an emergency. If you do have Visa or credit card give them a call and see if they can help.
