I have traveled throughout the interior of the country , and as ajo states , every city has the same street names. As a matter of fact , almost every city in the northern provinces has a "Plaza San Martin". SO be careful with addresses here. Enjoy your stay.

Delta from Atlanta , United from DC or Houston. Even Copa through Panama. Better choices than AA or Air Campora from Miami /NYC , and less scrutiny ............

I own a home and car in Italy and have never had an issue with needing an IDL. I used to get them , but finally gave up. You do not need it to rent the car . If you get in an accident , the rent a car company provides forms to be filled out , found in the glove box of the car, and only an...

Maybe they were ordered to more thoroughly inspect the flight from Miami , whichever one that was. My friend who owns an air freight business has told me numerous times of temporary beefed up inspections as commanded from on high. But they get back to their lazy uninterested selves quite...

Here , if it is a serious real estate agent , with a broker who has some balls , they will fight you for the commission. Exclusive or not. And many times if there are multiple agents involved , they may have to share the commission. Remember , these agents are hurting right now. Many have...

Why would the seller choose to cheat his poor sales agent out of their commission ? Perhaps he should formally cancel the listing agreement prior to a fsbo.

The Corsicans and their "vendetta".........

Joe , I have mentioned my friends , Guido and Giovanni , from Sicily , who are very good at persuading people to do the right thing. They are very reasonable and always get results. They even contribute to the local economy too. Especially with doctors , hospitals and such........

Pay an air freight forwarder. They bribe customs and there is no duty or waiting. It is expensive , but oh so easy. Welcome to Argentina , where the only way to get anything done is with cold hard cash. Corruption , it what Argentina is made of.

Politics is like the weather , you do not need to be too smart to be able to talk about it. Besides , it is in our nature to complain. About anything that just so happens to be not so important. Anyways , those of us with wives understand completely. It is a beautiful country. Get out of...

A nice spring day . where the ladies finally show their , well , better parts...............

Ajo , I agree , but a long day for kids. It was like a ghost town. In the sense that it really is history. Never imagined they could build such an extensive community . Those Jesuits were amazing. Although there was free labor , the place is great . While there , a mass was held , in what was...

The excursion to the mission is worth it. Really impressive what the Jesuits built so long ago. The mine sucks. Excursions do both though. Long day on the bus . Kids would be bored. Bring snacks if you go. There are several tour choices on the Brasil side. You can pick and choose what you...

I also recommend Tigre. The market is nice , and you can take a tour on an old , but loud , typical boat. Some good restaurants. Also some up in the Delta , that you can reach by launcha. If you feel really challenged , try the casino , for a Argentine contrast to Vegas.....

The Mrs. and I stayed at Raices Esturion. Nice hotel with good restaurant including breakfast. The waiter was very nice. A fisherman like myself . He showed me all his fishing photos on his phone. Remise to falls was reasonable . We found a guy who took us one day to Argentine side , and the...

Haircut ; In 6 months it went from 75 - 100 Carwash: 90-130 And forget trying to keep track of food prices..............

I have some Italian friends from Sicily , Guido and Giovanni , who are very good at persuading folks to , well , to do the right thing..... In this case , to give you back your deposit , plus interest......

How about just paying an air freight forwarder who bribes Aduana to get anything through with out duties or paper work ? Sure it is expensive , but why bother with doing it legally when every body here is on the take anyway ? If you are going to do business in Argentina , you have to learn how...

Tigre. Plus the Porta della Frutas makes for a fun day.

Has anyone ever explained to the average Argentine , who may be as ignorant as the average US citizen , how it is possible to renew your drivers permit online ? Or you tag renewal ? How about mailing off for a visa ? Or any other mundane task ? The concept of not having to stand in line , having...
