You really should learn to not generalise about things, it makes you appear like somekind of ignorant sociopath. Heres a tip, the minority should not represent the majority. got it?

Goto the internet cafe opposite the ATM and search for things to do in buenos aires when you get back. Seriously not much to do. There is a bus tour if you want to go on there , only lasts an hour. You can be entertained by the tour guide who asks everyones nationality at the start and then if...

11. If all else fails just say your foreign and run an international money exchange company and you`ll never have to pay for lunch ever again.

I love Rio (and its favelas). Not sure i`d like to live there but its my favourite city in South America to visit for a holiday, and probably in the top 5 in the world and i`ve visited a few.

The first rule of el supermercado is: You do not talk about el supermercado. The second rule of el supermercado is: You do not talk about el supermercado. Third rule of el supermercado: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only ten guys to a fight for the...

Try searching for ashes or cricket and p2p on google. I was watching wimbledon live this week by searching for p2p links.

Paraguayans basically come to Argentina to shop, things are cheaper here than there. Argentine supermarkets even had to put limits on what they could buy because they were coming to Argentina, filling up their cars with petrol, cooking oil, you name it and going back.

haha, you think that would stop people trading in Arg pesos? Just go to any Paraguayan border and you are inundated with people offering money exchange.

Just a heads up to mention they are expecting upto a million Argentines to be visiting Paraguay to see the pope this weekend. Expect travel chaos on biblical proportions towards the end of the week.

Singapore is very expensive for property and alcholol. But they have an M&S and soon John lewis, which is always desirable for the British expat and its as cheap to eat out as it is to buy from the supermarket. Its on my list of retirement choices.

Really, AA must have really improved recently because they never came close to TAM. They even stopped doing their famous ham & cheese sandwiches on my route and replaced them with small fruit and nut biscuits.

Every time I walk past the TV in my house I seem to see this story on the news, its this weeks Argentine soap opera. You could have a tsunami devastating parts of the globe but Argentine news networks would be more interested in some local story , especially if it involves a women with big fake...

The issue is that Argentine,Brazilian,etc sweatshops are producing clothes at the opposite end of the scale to Asian sweatshops, too expensive and too poor quality.

The fact of the matter is that the average Argentine is paying more for their groceries,etc than the average Londoner who is liable to be far better off than most Porteños .Now I dont know what the average salary is in London but the UK is about £26k per year and Argentina is about £12k. So its...

Kind of sums it up really http://www.numbeo.co...y2=Buenos Aires Good comparison if you`re a chain-smoking, alcoholic Argentine that uses the trains a lot . Everything else is painful to look at , especially compared to 8-10 years ago.

Yes but you get what you pay for. Electricity is very cheap,but we have a power cut probably once a fortnight, in the UK , it was once in 10 years. Internet, when it works we`re lucky to get 3mbps , Uk you have 50mbps for about the same price. Cable TV, here you get it the full 1980s experience...

Dont worry , they have plenty of other land disputes they can move onto afterwards to deflect any problems.

Have known this for a few years now. They failed to mention wine in that report, especially latin American that seems to have increased in value in the UK. Use to buy a nice Argentine chardonnay for £4 when I was living there and now its £8. But everything else seems more expensive here...

Borrowed time unfortunately , what with Amazon`s evil empire waiting to pounce.

Its not me i`m worried about, its the other 40 million lunatics on the roads here.
