    Taking Bicycle On The Airplane.

    How much did you pay for the bike? Personally if I`d bought it here, what with high used prices and inflation you can probably get a lot of your money back on the second hand market. Then when you get to your destination i`d buy a new one, I dont know where you live but if its N.America, Europe...

    Taking Bicycle On The Airplane.

    Just make sure you make it as small as possible, ie take front wheel off and tie it to the rear wheel. Lower handle bars/seat. Remove anything that can be broken off easily ie lights,etc. Or you go by plane and get the cat to peddle it home for you :D

    Cost Of Travel (Extranjero Vs. Paraguayan)

    As an example we went to Iguazu a few months back, if it wasnt for our Argentine Extranjeros ID we`d had paid higher prices for our Flights and Entrance to Iguazu park. Hotel made no difference.

    Iguazu Holiday Recommendations

    It was Iguazu Jungle Lodge. Think we were lucky to see them , but there are monkeys around the falls anyway. Last time we went there were about 10 of them next to the walkways and about 200 tourists taking photos hehe

    3D Tv: Is It Worth It?

    I use chromecast with plex, its excellent. Streams everything to my tv no problem. I`ve tried Apple tv and WD TV and Smart TV and chromecast runs pretty much perfect compared to the other two. I had the wd tv and apple hardwired and to be honest they probably start a film 2-3 seconds faster than...

    Iguazu Holiday Recommendations

    Staying at the Sheraton and describing iguazu as miserable,hot and humid mosquito infested hellhole with no decent food? You sound a right snob. We stayed at a lovely family ran hotel once there, we had toucans ,monkeys nearby and lovely food. And as for mosquitos, i`ve had much worse in BA.

    Spock Is No More

    Ajoknoblauch, Did you teach Spock the art of emotional detachment and to view things with a logical perspective? Because you do come across as very similar characters.

    Import Tax Laws?

    I`d say anything brought in bulk will raise suspicions. They`ll probably ask you what theyre worth and if its not much they`ll let you pass. If you can keep receipts because otherwise theyll charge you for what they think theyre worth locally. But saying that, I once bought in 25 led light...

    New 50 Peso Note

    Also quite ironic that on the other side of the note is Antonio “El Gaucho" Rivero who was born a Uruguyan (only for his birthplace to eventually become part of Argentina) and ended up murdering 5 people on the islands which pretty much ended any chance Argentina of acquiring them because the...

    New 50 Peso Note

    Looking at the photo I thought some new islands had been founded off the falklands,and then i realised theyd cut and pasted the sandwich islands in there . Plus a bonus South American/Antarctica map for good measure.

    Buying From Ebay

    I find everything in the post turns up here quickly and safely inside an letter sized envelope to my front door. So if you can buy the tablet and then ask them to dismantle it and send the pieces in ohh about 20 envelopes, it`ll turn up in a week safe and sound-ish.
