You can rent a two bedroom detached house in a safe suburb for USD 500-600. There are dangerous and safe/ fairly safe suburbs in GBA and it all depends where in this vast area. Having an alarm system and monitoring is a bonus, but you have to pay. "Shooting"... I really hope I misunderstood you...

Dimitry, You could be right, but living out in the suburbs is far less stressful than CapFed (I have done both in the last 25 years). And I also have two small children. So hey why not give it a trial, and lets swap houses for a month or two. Which island did you say you were living on ? Mark

Well, I could name various areas and reserves around Buenos Aires which naturalists regularly visit and enjoy, so going back to the original post just PM me and I will advise. I agree that Iberá is a mind-blowing destination. Not sure why you mention it to be honest given that there are...

As for asses I can strongly recommend Argentina. full stop!

Don't think they'll be a safety issue or ticket problem at the Estadio [Unico] de La Plata. How do you intend to get there ? Are you guys going to the WC?

Actually, you are very misinformed about the biodiversity on your doorstep. Even the Reserva Ecologica Costanera Sur (RECS) in downtown Capital Federal (just 330 hectares) has more bird species (over 300 recorded) than most Caribbean islands. It has more bird species recorded than the regular...

If the game is at Arsenal, then it would be a busy match as it's a small stadium and away supporters will be allowed in Libertadores matches. Security isn't great in that area and I would avoid that match if you don't speak Spanish and are going alone, especially at night. It's also far out of...

I would love to believe this article. Most porteños start questioning you nervously when you even hint that you will give them something.... "picante". Salta and Jujuy are the only provinces that include some spicey food, and it's usually limited to sauce on the table.

hmmm., yes, BA is perhaps less courteous than many US cities but nothing to get uptight about really. I would have to say that the US is rather different in that aspect from so many countries and that you are just not used to how people behave in S. America or elsewhere perhaps. Paris would be...

nolachef.. WTF !!!

but, but,.....you forgot the Chinese lunch deal and choripan, parillada but yeah I know what you're saying.

Just received an envelope of work documents today from the UK (quite badly damaged in a jiffy bag) which took exactly one month in the post. Looks like they had a slightly rough journey.

reenacting the battle of Bannockburn might not be such a great idea though it's like why not reenact the battle of Mount Tumbledown errrhmmm, how might that go down? why reenact any war instead of just having a party. Is it a macho thing, will it atract the attention of the Argentines? The...

- Aerolineas Argentinas - People wearing Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and All Blacks shirts - Trapitos - Tramites in Cap Fed - Dog shit everywhere - CFK and her cronnies

i wrote to Heinz Argentina to ask them to import baked beans and that it would be good business for them. I had a reply saying they were considering it, but that was about ten years ago :( :(

Not forgetting tha deep-fried Mars Bars are ya's ?

"Full English" breakfast is an institution in the UK, in that you can easily find places that serve it all day. Had to say that incase someone misunderstood. The same thing that is also served throughout the nation in Bed and Breakfasts where you know what to expect. What is...

Sorry if this is a painful memory from a past life for anyone, but there are no baked beans here !

Match worn and match prepared football shirts. There is a vast market for this in Buenos Aires and in many parts of the World. It's like antique collecting though and tough to start from scratch. There are load of crooks and loads of fakes, but you can make a lot. It's a hobby of mine, but I...

great Cerviche... that's the answer I wanted to hear!!
