If you plan to stay in Cordoba city then I can highly recommend a place called Baluch Backpackers. It is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Reasonably priced, comfortable, clean and no time limit for breakfast. The owner, Gil, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

I went last year and it is really good fun. We stayed in Cordoba city and took the bus to Villa Belgrano - from what I remember it was really cheap (the bus, that is). The actual beerfest isn't so cheap. It cost us ARG$70 for the entry, then something like ARG$50 for a mug (which you get to...

Because there is no place like home. It's as simple as that.

The evil queen of Buenos Aires had this to say in a TELEVISED speech: “Judges are judges, not gods. No government official should ever be afraid of [sic] excuse themselves. They should come to me and let me know if they feel something or someone is not doing things right so they will allow me...

That is a really good point, eclair. I often complain to people who will listen that people here need to take responsibility, but I usually reserve it for people that I work with, TBA and the government as a whole (particularly the finger-wagging, evil queen of numbers). I guess the good folk...

I was having an early dinner with my Argentine girlfriend tonight and we were discussing my imminent departure from Argentina to the yearned-for shores of the UK in a little over fourteen weeks. The discussion included a tinge of sadness for the obvious reason (although, secretly, I am...

Thank you all for your helpful advice.

Hello, Does anyone know: a) How much the fine for staying over the 90 day tourist visa stands at these days? b) Is it cheaper than getting a ferry to Colonia one more time? c) How and where do I pay it? Cheers.

In the last month I have seen SIX of my friends either leave or make plans to leave Argentina. I am from the UK. And I will be leaving Argentina in 15 weeks. I will not be coming back. It seems as though we are like rats, leaving a sinking ship. And partly, this is true. Things are about to...

Cheers, I already tried and it is near 2 years out of warranty so they said get stuffed.

Hello, This is a bit of a strange request, but does anyone know where I can get a replacement screen for a Kindle 3G Keyboard? I'm imagining that the response will not be positive, but I thought I would give it a go or I will be without one for the next 20 weeks. I suppose I could buy a...

Hey, Can anyone recommend a good travel agency that specialises or has good offers on PACKAGE deals? I only have a limited time and find that the packages allow you to see a lot in a short amount of time. Any suggestions other than sayhueque or hitravel would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, Can anyone recommend a 'good' bus company to get from Salta to Cusco. Preferably, I would like to dip into Bolivia on the way. Failing this, can anyone recommend a good website on which I can actually find some 'good' bus companies. Cheers.

Easy, just take the ferry (Google: Buquebus) over to Uruguay for the day and get your passport stamped on your return in. Good for another three months. I recommend Colonia for a day trip, and try a weekend in Montevideo.

Thank you. I did not realise it was so early..... Still. Gave them that spanking, didn't we....

Hey, anyone from Wales (or UK) fancy watching the team give Argentina a jolly good spanking on Saturday? If so, where?

Hello, welcome to BA. Take a deep breath.... I notice you are from the UK, I am trying to organise a meet up for UK expats in the next few weeks (I am from Wales). As soon as we have plans, I will send you an invite. Enjoy the city. Oh, and if you happen to have brought HP sauce with you then...

I have a friend that lives there and I have visited her a couple of times. The area is a nice breath of fresh air from the hustle of the city. Plenty of cafes, a few bars, farmacias, bakeries and a really, really good steak house. A lot quieter than the city, so don't expect the party...

Hey, I have just had some Teachers graduate and I have passed on your details to them. I have new TEFL teachers every five weeks so if you ever need some, drop me a line. Good luck.

In fact, I hardly ever read the mail on here so send one to [email protected] I have already had one suggestion to get the ball rolling.
