    Golf

    I would love to play. When people ask me what I miss most about the U.S., although the list is a short one, golf is one of them. I do not have any equipment down here. Is it possible to rent? How much would I expect a typical 18 to cost? It would make my day, even to de-stress on a driving...

    Re: Taxi Drivers - sharp practice

    I must admit, I have become numb to the cabs and overall insane driving habits of Argentina. Over a year back, the first time I stepped off the plane and into a cab, I think I closed my eyes most of the way to the city.
