    Fashion in BA

    what I like : that men/boys pull up their paints, don't let it hang (extremely) low like fashion in Europe is (probably imitating the american Rappers) what i don't like : that boys (teenagers/early 20) never "dress up" : wear jeans/shirt/decent shoes. They are always in jeans, tshirt and...

    car rental company in uruguay ?

    When you arrive in Colonia with Buquebus, all the 'main' car rental companies are there. Just go out of the terminal and go to the building to your right.

    38th Feria del Libro!

    Maybe there are English books but I didn't see them last year. I did see a (very small) French collection so I guess there must be English too. Even if you don't read Spanish it's worth a visit, and I bet you leave with at least 1 book in your hand!

    What's your Favorite (and Positive) "Only in Argentina" story?

    I love the fact that nothing has to be arranged up front. When I wake up on a saturday morning, I never know how many friends of my daughter will have slept over. They sleep where ever, with 2 in single beds, in the sofa, on the floor... It doesn't really matter to them. As long as they are...

    What's your Favorite (and Positive) "Only in Argentina" story?

    Piropos -my number one favorite. Calling a plumber on a sunday when -for some unknown reason- you have no water. When he comes over (that same sunday) and it turns out it is an electrical problem; calling an electrician on that same sunday. A few hours later the water is running again. How...

    anyone been to Chascomus?

    Yes chascomus is nice. The cheapest way to get there is with Ricchieri (as Richard mentioned : you have to book your seat up front), but then there you don't have a car to drive around the lake as Amargo says. Although it is really nice it is a step back into civilization. Which is probably why...
