You may have already waited to long to get the best deal that you can. In my experience, I was always able to get the best deals about 1 and a half to 2 months in advance. After that, ticket prices go up as the number of seats go down. Its been a while since I bought my tickets though. Could be...

A year ago today we left Argentina to return to the US and I've wanted to write a post since we've left. The only reason I ever came to Argentina was for the love of my life. I met her online, fell for her and came to visit her for a month almost a year after we met. Three months after I came...

I would be VERY careful. I have not heard many good stories about people who find Argentine business partners. That is not to say that good ones can't be found, but I would be wary. My biggest concern would be putting the company in his name, and not yours. Even if you get a legal document that...

A hypothetical scenario: He takes a public stand against the junta and the other leaders in the church follow suit. Would that cause the junta to change course? Maybe they do, but I honestly don't think that they would have. So if they don't change: We know that the junta had a habit of...

That doesn't answer the question. The question is, what would have happened?

Does anyone care to venture a guess what would have happened had someone in the church come out against the dictatorship? People like to say that if the church had spoken against the junta that they wouldn't have been able to commit the atrocities that they did, which is absolute nonsense. A...

Here is the thing. It does not matter what is right and wrong on paper. Your lawyer can say that you are legally correct by paying in peso at the official rate, but the landlord won't care. You can sign a contract that says you pay in pesos, and in two months, the owner could be demanding...

Interesting read. I agree with some of the point, especially making time for family. I miss those Sunday get togethers, and try as I might, I can get my family together more than on Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Last summer we had a horrible 2 day power outage in Villa Devoto. It hit right during the peak of a heat wave too. Nothing you can do but lay still during the middle of the day and then go up on the room at night to finally cool down.

ElQueso, you always have some of the best posts on this entire forum. I always look forward to what you have to say.

Things like this make me glad that we got out of there when we did. Everything seemed to fall off a cliff after we left.

So great to see something, finally! Who knows if it will amount to anything, but people need to voice their displeasure.

Read an article that trash being dumped into open air landfills are to cause for the rise in seagull populations. Also read that the authorities are working on fixing that issue as well.

I overstayed by more than a year and it was still 300 pesos.

One, I don't step foot in a wal mart if I can help it. And two, Argentina has its fair share of wack jobs...
