Argentina. Cheaper living and easier immigration. Plenty of desperate people looking for your cash in both countries but Argentina feels safer to me. Only downside is the weather is seasonal, meaning you get cool winters and blasting summers. Many places in Brasil have constant warm weather...

I went through the same thing in Central America. I lost my new flip-flops at a hostel. Until I remembered that I left them in the shower room. Neatly tucked under the sink. I remembered this on a Bus in the next country down. I also forgot my shampoo. Don't be too quick to blame the staff...

Well... I've been here off and on for awhile, so I'll give my quick overview of the women I've met in Argentina. On average, some of the most attractive and intelligent Women I've met in my travels. Not as sexual as Brasil, not as conservative as Chile. I still like Colombia more but the...

Well, I didn't steal your shoes, so you can cross me off your list. Just make it a process of elimination. Once you rule out the innocent, only the guilty will remain. I used to play the game "Clue" when I was a kid. In your case, I would guess it was Maria in the bedroom with a plastic bag...

If the peso went back up to the U.S. dollar, I have to admit I'd bail out.

Here's a site you where you can define a search of available DVD players. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers Personally, I wouldn't bother bringing a player from the US in order to use it here. The voltage is different, they use the PAL video system rather than NTSC and there's the region...

You could try the Alamo Pub at Uruguay 1175 in Retiro. Closest subte station is Tribunales I believe and it's a bit of a walk over to Av Santa Fe and beyond. I used to go there to watch hockey games. Here's their site. http://www.elalamobar.com/nuevo_ingles_deportes.html They have ways of...

Hey! Thanks for your effort. It was a good place to hang out and meet people. I didn't get home until 8 am, since I caught the wrong Bus home and ended up wayyyyyy out of town. Figure out where the final stop of the number 5 Bus is and that's where I was (lost, without knowing spanish). An...

Sounds like fun. My first night back in the big city and there's already an ex-pat event.

I traveled through Costa Rica and liked Montezuma the most. You can read aboot it here if you like. Search other travel blogs and you can get some good info on how to plan a quick jaunt into the jungle. If you think this is something you'd like to do, I can give you a couple tips on what to...

I read about a guy who boxed himself up in a crate and then shipped himself across the U.S. I don't know if that is a cheaper way to go, but you might make the news. but seriously... what I do is use an online booking site like Expedia and keep checking different dates and even different...

I read the book and liked it for the first half. It wasn't entirely negative but that was certainly the overall feeling by the time I was finished. Too much about the 'dirty war' and not enough about daily life in the city itself. I found some parts very interesting, mainly the economic...

I went to the place on defensa st in San Telmo as well but can't remember the name. Something very obvious though since my friend and I both looked at each and said "mexican food!" and rushed in. We didn't have very much but it seemed okay. The red-haired waitress spoke a bit of english and I...
