The last time I was in Lima and wanted to get to BA I ended up paying $600US for a flight rather than opt for the $150 2-day bus ride. The catch was that my flight went all the way up to Panama before returning to Buenos Aires. What a pain! Load up on books/movies and take the bus :)

I just got back from Venezuela with my Argentine girlfriend. For a month we traveled the coast from Caracas to Colombia. I know most of SA, (minus Brasil and Ecuador) and Venezuela has been my LEAST favorite country. The exchange rate is rigged by the government, so unless you want to pay...

"Officially, it is AR$1.10 for under 3km, AR$1.20 for 3-6km and AR$1.25 over 6 km, but no one checks and no one is measuring. It is a very Latino pricing strategy. Waiting for the bus is like waiting for a shooting star, you just never know when it will come." From a blog at a Spanish school I...

A regular rubber-covered hook won't damage the rim. Unless you're trying to ride the bike while it's hanging on the wall :D

We're all here for a reason. When I miss the midwest I just head to Carlos Keen for a day :)

Hello all, I recently moved into my Argentine girlfriends small apartment in Palermo. I had stayed there before but I never really realized how long I'd be in this city. About a week ago, the skeleton key (normal type here) ceased to function for the door. The problem was that we were...

I too recently brought my computer, PS3, external hard drive, and even a small LCD tv in a suitcase through the Ezeiza airport and had no problems. From what I can tell it's most important to make sure to have it [B]in a suitcase[B] and not in the original packaging (don't buy a bicycle and...

Hi amcarey, I may be able to provide a clear answer as I recently did this on my visit to Minnesota over the holidays. First, I went to my local county government building and got a new birth certificate (to be safe). Next, I brought the birth certificate to the Office of the Secretary of...

On a related note, if you still want to buy a car here, it will cost you double the price than in N. America!
