    Driving Buenos Aires to Ushuaia

    Rodger, It takes 35 hours to get to Rio Gallegos by bus, and probably 12 hours more to Ushuaia. If you are driving with the same speed, say, 8 hours a day, 47/8 ~ 6 days and you basically will not be able to see anything but the road. I took this trip back in 2006 (to Ushuaia and back to BA)...

    Need Swiss Medical Doctor ASAP!

    They must have doctors that accept walk-in patients. It is called "consulta de demanda espontanea" or something like that. If it is not available you can even stop at emergency "la guardia" and ask to see a doctor, it is not such a big deal.

    Argentina not in great company here...

    Ssr has never used the word "argie" on this forum. As to corruption, all these reports and surveys deal with barbaric forms of corruption where money actually change hands. Developed countries are just more sophisticated, but that does not necessarily mean that they have higher moreal ground...

    New Media Law

    Blocking exits from newspaper printing plant by trade union trucks is not considered a major conflict in Argentina? Once again if it is anti-monopoly case, show me the other side?

    Not compared to the US...

    I guess so. I added a poll to this thread, so soon we will see whether it is correct. Sorry about splitting Europe for UK and non-UK. I believe there are a lot of people here from England.
