    BA Expensive??? - Help!!

    there are plenty of owners who rent places without the 20% - and actually the 20% is designed for the foreign market.

    Have you accustomed to Argentine Life?

    Maté - yes, i've adapted, but i miss good cups of English tea. Bacon, who mentioned bacon?? I miss the English back bacon. I found some good streaky in Uruguay and i gorged for two days. I've found if you dont lean over, you dont have to kiss on the cheek - in my experience as a foreigner i...
