Knock it off, arty. Bringing a girl home doesn't give you license to rape her. She can still say no and, if you do decide to rape her, she can press charges and you will go to jail. I know a guy who narrowly avoided jail after being accused of rape. I don't know if he committed the crime (it...

Avoid the pizza, it's terrible. It's not as safe here as in NYC but take reasonable precautions and you should be alright. For example: NEVER EVER take your eyes off of anything (jacket, mobile phone, camera, etc.) when you are in public or it will disappear as if by magic. Thieves are quick...

I think it's time for the US to come in and save the day. Again. Must we solve all the world's problems? The Monroe Doctrine gives us ownership of the entire Western Hemisphere anyway and we have tremendous cars that require an awful lot of gasoline so, enough already, it's time for us to end...

Maybe they need some of these here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-only_passenger_car Saw them in Mexico City. Keep the nice ladies safe from creepos like Quentin.Daniels.

Win what, exactly?

Yikes, I certainly wouldn't raise kids here.

Do a Google search for "DVD player unlock codes" and click around a bit and you might find an unlock code/hack for your DVD player. I have a couple of DVD players from the US down here that I managed to unlock myself after a bit of googling.

Another view from the islands: Stuart Wallace: We watch Argentina's behaviour with bemusement I particularly like this bit: Hah! "...dissipating what little reputation they have for seriousness..." Ouch! Er, for the non-British (like myself): Wikipedia: Sod (vulgarity)

Argentina doesn't have the capacity to do anything other than make noise.

How the locals feel about Argentina: 'You can't really trust Argentina' Falklands Would Oppose Permits to Argentine Companies Don't think they'll be choosing to become Argentine anytime soon. UPDATE: Wow, those Falklands sound kind of nice, actually: Falkland Islands: from poverty...

No, Buenos Aires is so full of foreigners because it's cheap. I'm curious about all of this freedom that people are finding here, though. Is "freedom" maybe just a euphemism for weed, hookers and laws you don't have to obey if you can afford to bribe cops? If that's the case then, yes...

While the issue of how much ocean around the islands can be claimed by the UK needs to be worked out at the UN (or wherever things like that get settled), is there really still a dispute over who owns the islands themselves? The people are British, they want to be British, and the British won...

That's a joke, right?

Freedom to do what? I'm sure all the folks struggling to feed their families in villas throughout Argentina would be honored to hear how free some European expat happens to feel here. It's certainly a whole lot easier to enjoy all the "freedom" in a third-world country when you have the option...

This is another huge problem with food here in Argentina: consistency. I've been to plenty of restaurants here that will impress me the first time I go (and maybe one or two times after that) but then I'll go back to a place I thought I could count on and it will just suck balls; lousy food...

Dear lord, Argentina couldn't go to war with Bolivia at this point. Brazil or Chile could occupy this country in a weekend. There's no way that Argentina will be trying to take anything by force anytime soon.

Bread's no good, either.

Just flew from Mendoza to BA on one of Aerolineas' new 737s and it was nice. Comfy seats and some smoking hot stewardesses. Read the airline magazine during the flight and in it the kid that they put in charge (some guy in his 30s is running Argentina's semi-nationalized airline; hope he's a...

Sara, you're being ridiculous. I grew up in NYC with fantastic pizza and Italian food everywhere. And it still boggles my mind how all of the "Italians" here in Argentina manage to screw Italian food up so badly. There may be a decent place here and there in this city of millions (most of...

Hah! This is really the root of the problem for me. I can have a normal, adult conversation with just about anyone from any other large city in the world and discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of where we both happen to be from and, well, that's that. No big deal. But porteños...
