I've stayed at two there. http://www.redhostel.com/ The Red Hostel, which is fairly cheap and I enjoyed to an extent. The only problems were it's location away from the historic area and groups of young people that were there to party. Nice rooftop terrace and decent breakfast along with free...

When I went to pay for my internet use the other night, I was 5 cents short but had a 20 peso note. The deskclerk told me not to worry about the 5 centavos. The landlady where I live gives me Salami and Crackers to eat. The Salamis not bad, especially with cheese. I always say thank you...

I have to admit one of my reasons for staying is to avoid winter in Canada. I also like the coffee here.

I think I'll go to this. If anyone else is going, let me know and we can meet up. The meat looks very fresh. Note the head lying in the background.

My opinion is that the lower peso is losing it's "bargain" value through inflation. I've already noticed price increases even in my small world and short time here. I still consider this a fairly inexpensive place to live with a good standard of living. I live in Rosario though, so that's a bit...

Here in Rosario, an Argentine friend made a comment like this about the cargo ships that endlessly go by on the river. He says they're full of "the best" agricultural products which are then exported to countries in North America and China etc... If the "feeding you" comment is about getting...

Wow, this is certainly an active topic, which it good, since it let's people state their opinions and rant a bit. For myself, I came to Argentina for something different from my normal life and found that (somewhat). I don't complain too much about life here because this is "how it is" and...

It's actually the law that pedestrians have the right of way in Canada, if they're in a crosswalk and obeying traffic signals. If you step into a crosswalk, even without lights, it's the law that they have to stop. It's also against the law to litter and there's been plenty of public...

I've been paying a bit more attention to traffic the last few days and have decided that it's really quite orderly. Everyone has their turn and there's a flow to things. You have to be quick crossing streets and look out for yourself though, just like anywhere else. I also think it's almost...

The streets are fairly clean although it depends on the time and day. There's endless people going through every kind of trash and throwing it around. They also use plastic dumpsters on the streets, where people come and throw their trash. I'm not crazy about seeing all the dumpsters along...

Well.. I just happen to live in Rosario now. I'll give you a short overview. Basically, it's a university town with "the prettiest girls in Argentina" and a booming economy and housing market. Said to be the fastest growing city in Argentina and has a population of 1.5 million. It's 4 hrs...

hmmm... illegal! poker. I wish I knew how to play cause I've got lots of money. I'm knot so smart ether.

There's a Casino on the Ferry from montevideo to BA where I'm sure they'll play any game with you if you've got money and are willing to give it up. You can also renew your tourist visa at the same time. I would be quite amused to hear the policia busted an unlicensed gambling anything...

From what I've read through internet searches on the subject, you will have to pay a fine of 50 pesos no matter how long you overstay your Visa, whether that's a day or a year, or in the case of one poster on a forum, 6 years (and still going). The problem with the overstay is they might deny...

Do we get paid in dollars or pesos for the 20 mintues? I can assure you I have great emotional intelligence, whatever that is.

Sounds like you've got lots of cash. I can recommend some good Chica bars if you like that sort of thing. The nightlife here is all over the place depending on what you like. Discos (like any) downtown and endless clubs and bars in every part of the city. Depends on how old you are and what...

I think you're getting old chica. Going to bed soooo early! Dinner wasn't too bad and I was happy to see nobody ordered the Cuy (guinea pig), which is a specialty of peru and equador. The locals there rip the head open and suck out the brains, which I didn't care to witness again. I have to...

When I first arrived in the city I went to a place called LA VIRUTA (tango?). Can't remember the address but it's on the internet if you do a search. Not close to downtown but I'd recommend it as they have Salsa lessons downstairs in a community center and there were about 300 people there...

Ahhh... Gracielle, you misunderstood why I asked. It´s not because I´m surprised, I´d just like to know where I can buy a "used" digital camera to replace my stolen one. I'm sure I've walked right past these markets in the past. For the record, I've only been to Recoleta to see dead people...
