    Buenos Aires crime rate

    P, They do count, but it's a different form of violence, not inherent to Argentina, think about the hooligans, how many times were they banned from attending european tournaments? Quite a few. The diff. lies on the officials in the UK determined to end with football violence and not finance...

    Specialty Spanish Language Book Stores

    Bairesgirl, You should stroll along Corrientes where you will find tiny bookstores more than once served by the owners and where you will encounter most likely titles that you won't see at Cuspide, Ateneo that have a much more commercial interest.

    Buenos Aires crime rate

    Paul, Maybe you should stroll around Anacostia, Hialey, or little Havanna to feel safe:). And then please don't deny what can't be discussed. I am 32 and so far in Argentina there has been no one incident of lunatics opening fire at malls or office centers at coworkers because they have been...

    Buenos Aires crime rate

    Badwolf, Race is not always an explanation how do you explain southafrican's high crime rate?, it's mainly blacks vs. blacks (My name it totsi-excellent movie!), Rio's violence and Bogota's have a lot to do with drugs, we call them carteles, escuadrones de la muerte in Rio and not necessarily...

    Buenos Aires crime rate

    Even so Pericles comparing oneself to Bogotá or Río is by no means an acceptable standard. Buenos Aires 20 years ago was another thing, or maybe the whole world was safer, I'm caught nostalgic on a sunday night. I remember my teens (12,13s) dancing out at Costa Salguero (there were many many...
