Oh, yes -- can't wait! Thanks for those fast reports, incl. Bariloche even though it looks a bit too Southerly for my tastes. Cordoba's inland location seems another plus. It's neither on the ring of fire nor the sometimes violent Atlantic, but not overly far from BA or Santiago either. Not...

I find not only BA but Cordoba alluring as a possible escape from the crumbling USA. No doubt many of you have knowledge of that city and province, some from living there. Is it true what Wikipedia says? Cordoba has continued to prosper, despite left-wing violence in 1973, right-wing...

I read an account of Mendoza in some travel blog (possibly in travelpod.com) that made it out to be one of the most bbeautiful, serene Shangri-Las ever. You agree? How much do locals seem to worry about national politics and economics there?

It's good to see people thinking creatively about the crisis being forced on most of civilization by deranged politicians, banksters and media mavens. I wish more people would get in the habit of bartering -- I do this as much as I can with my customers. It's fun and gets more people aboard what...

So glad to see this thread as I still entertain hopes of working as church musician in the Southern Cone (despite 100% dismal reports from everybody the profession there). Anybody been to a church where an organist or choir performs composed music of any era..... maybe with the titles listed in...

Whoa, a straight answer, Stanexpat -- you're throwing me off! Thanks immensely, useful knowledge. Wherever I end up I plan to stay.

Bravo -- all intriguing. More, more, more! CL is not my main heart throb, but if any of you have specific comparisons to make either way, that should really liven things up. The gang up here is actually leaning toward Uruguay at the moment -- whose advantages famously include proximity to AR/BA...

Thanks. I'm honestly interested -- hope I didn't totally obscure that fact! Among other advantages AR has over CL is that AR (certainly the BA area) isn't right smack on the "ring of fire." The Featured Post in today's BAExpats mass mailing fired my imagination: "The world is going to...

Greetings! I'm a would-be (probably will-be) expat fascinated with BA and in frequent dialog with others either already relocated to South America, buying property there or seriously considering it. Our main guy (let's call him JC) lives in Santiago and says Chile is the only place to be...

A pleasant shock to see this discussion going on here. Won't be a shock if it gets out of hand and/or has to be shut down. Quite obviously and ineluctibly, ALL big name federal politicians are in the System with extremely rare exceptions. They don’t exist to give us what we want or need (or, uh...

Greetings, all. I am considering moving to South America, and Buenos Aires seems as alluring as any fair city. My profession is different than most people's -- church music of a traditional, basically classical type, although I consider my repertoire and style very populistic. People tell me...
