    accommodation in Ushuaia?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a B & B or guest house? Unfortunately some of the hostels dont sound good for a single older women. Just want somewhere near the centre, reasonably clean and quiet. I am reluctant to pay for 5 days in advance without some personal recommendations. Thanks in...

    Where to get business cards printed

    I posted this question 6 months ago so it may still be in the archives somewhere. I ended up getting mine from a shop I just found in my local area (downtown). I think I paid around 30 pesos for 100 then. The main problem I found was they dont use a particularly good quality card.

    Dont fancy sitting around BA for 2 weeks so I thought I might bring a planned holiday to Tucuman, Salta and Jujuy forward. What in everybody's opinion might be the problem with this? No transport or accommodation available? I dont consider swine flue to be a problem.

    BsAs Vs Madrid

    I cant really comment on the nightlife here as Ive only been here 3 months but my impression was that there was more choice in Madrid, particularly with ethnic restaurants. I was not aware of an active expats group like this one mainly because I lived in a residencia with 13 other people so...
