    Is Argentina on the verge of another crisis?

    No I was not talking about Cap Fed apartments, but any productive land or plots of land that can be used for building on. The peso will collapse against the USD again, as it did in May 1989 and Dec 2001; in the last of these events, this type of property was devalued by 4/1 upwards. Larger...

    A baby passport question.

    hi john, I have been through a similar saga with my kids and their differing documents on various travels, and you should also look into the entry situation in the USA. First, you must take your wedding certificate to EZE as proof that you are the legal guardians, don't ever forget that or...

Shouldn't have even got into the media. Like many other artists he'll probably end up wearing an Argentine football shirt...makes...

    What the blazes is happening to SAP in Arg TV???

    Yes, I've also noticed that SAP is no longer working for a lot of films and channels (hope I''m not still paying for it), while my English language hungry children beg me to turn on the SAP, and turn off Cristina's haunting voice..... and I am not joking.

    Remis from Aeroparque

    There is a booth with windows inside the luggage collection area (could be Manuel Tienda Leon). You pay up front to the destination, wait for the driver to appear at the same desk (on the public side) and they don't rip you off. Straight forward really.

    Should we Brits be keeping a low profile?

    Santiago, Sorry it was just a figure of speech, the HR has more specialists and is extremely well equiped. Extreme casualties have to be flown to Uruguay or Chile.
