    Crime

    In each city it depends all on the neighborhood. San telmo is SOOOO dodgy. The last time I was there at night (a Thursday around 10:30), I walked with 2 girls.

    you can also pre-pay the day before at the migraciones office in Aeroparque. I did that last time I overstayed and didn't have to wait or anything.

    Didn't Receive 90 Day Stamp Upon Re-Entry To Arg. In Iguazu

    But is the stamp an entry stamp for tourist visa that is just missing the other little stamp that says "90 días" or "3 meses"? Wouldn't the new tourist entry stamp be valid anyway for the next 90 days? Or are you missing that?

    10 Rights You Didn't Know You Had

    The guards in the supermarket can't legally ask to look in your bag! One time a guard at the COTO on Cabildo/Gorostiaga wanted to look in my bag since I had entered the store on one end, checked the price on a plate, and then was exiting out the other end. (Actually I was going to pay something...

    Travel Channel Relocation Television Series

    They Let Me In! - Trip Back Report

    LOL I meant to say the customs line but that seemed too official for the experience. Lacoqueta - my boyfriend came in last week on the Atlanta flight. He had my old guitar on his back in a backpack guitar case and they said, "Do you have a receipt for this? If we open the case, are you sure...
