    On The Subject Of Traffic

    BA drivers look like lunatics, but I actually think they are very good drivers because they are always alert and react quickly. At home you have signage warning you for 3km that the lanes will merge, and every bloody week there is a major crash at the merging point because 'some maniac came out...

    Porito Moreno Glacier Over 65 Years Old?

    I went last year and yes, they're very strict about age for doing the hike on the ice. It's just the one organisation that does it, all the other little tour companies just sell tickets.

    I asked the guy at the newspaper stand once if there existed a decent news publication that sat somewhere between the extremes of clarin and pagina12. he handed me a comic book and wished me luck.

    Industria Argentina , Is There Anything That Doesnt Break?

    I got a pair of jeans from the rapsodia outlet store in villa crespo a few weeks back. they cost just under $300 pesos and I'm very happy with them - they're a good cut and fit and decent quality too surprisingly.

    Afl Grand Final

    Kennet is a tool and Geelong is a brilliant team that should never be underestimated, but I am so very happy the curse is over! I sent a message to El Alamo bar asking if they're playing it, they said they think so, not sure what that means, but maybe if enough people make enquiries they will?

If you are paying in USD then the second year increase shouldn't apply -...

    try khiel's products, it's the closest thing I have found to dermatologica, they have a store in palermo. the standard moisturiser made me break out but the abyssine line is wonderful.

    Visa Run = Fake Tourist = Permatourist Deported At Ezeiza

    it's a bit offensive to imply that migrants from poorer neighbouring countries aren't contributing to society. the politics behind immigration policy is about regional integration, like the EU.
