Yeah, all the hostels just happen to be advertized on hostelworld webagents! BIGTIME SPAM

I went three years ago in July, 2008. Specifically designed to attract families with school kids during the mid-winter break. It was'n't too crowded then, do not know if it has become bigger. It is held in the same community hall where the Octoberfest is held every year. Local dance schools...

Pasted from message tinight I got from a friend: ----------------------------------------------- SSSShhhhh.... Okay, I am only writing this, most reluctantly, because the liitle angel on my right shoulder has been nagging me (the little devil on my left shoulder is saying:"...aww f&*^^k it...

"These aren't the droids you're looking for." Muttered under my breath every time I deal with an Argentine bureaucrat.

Yes, I hate prequels, they are basically about spoilt milk. X-Mprequels especially suck.

Only seats for the semi in Mendoza are available now on Ticketek. The quarters and 3rd place match in La Plata. You take a big risk buying form resellers, and you may be asked for id. I get my tickets on Tuesday, and will examine them for my name or a chip, but there may be ways to check...

Note to those buying tickets on Ticketek: The dates, times and locations of the ticket pickup for the various options have been changed by mass mailings to previous ticket purchasers, but the OLD info is still on the purchase site at this time! Once you purchase and choose a pickup option...

I would like to see that put into legalese in a contract! Especially in Spanish.

Unenforceable. Argentina has the best laws in the world, like the Glaciar protection law against mining and the common laws like stopsign laws, but they are not enforced.

Why do Argentines come onto this site if they find the open sharing and opinions offensive? Many do, because they find that foreigners often offer the best info and insights about Argenitna. When I go running in the huge park in Mendoza, Argentines from other cities (especially Porteños)...

See this thread (now at 44 pages) about getting tickets, and about LP´rs getting together before matches. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=1930574&messageID=18558175#18558175 Don't expect to get much info from baexpats. Some original tickets for some matches still...

They will be learning useful phrases such as: "Why did you come here if you don't speak Spanish?"

LlET'S START A RUMOUR THAT THE AIRPLANE CRASH WAS CAUSED BY THE RUSH TO MAKE THE SCHEDULE DUE TO THE LATE INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS FOR THE DOMESTIC FLIGHT CUASED BY THE CUSTOMS SLOW-DOWN. IN THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING.
