Where in Argentina are you planning on coming to? Although I'll bet it's a safe bet it's going to be Buenos Aires... Study Spanish....and start learning right now if you don't.....also you need to save a good amount of money as well before you come down.....

I constantly hear complaints about this here....that the chileans change border markers in the Andes....always trying to nudge them a bit further to the east. I have one sister-in-law who is constantly lambasting Chile and chileans....even though she's never met one or even visited the country...

Yeah I guess so!

Hey...if anyone wants to buy an imported Spanish classical Guitar "una guitarra criolla de concierto importada" let me know....I'm letting it go cheap LOL.... it's from Spain and is a nice Guitar....

Yikes...only been here one day and already I can't spell....

If you want the scoop on the best Parrillada in any town in Argentina ( Buenos Aires included ) ....ask any "camionero" ( truck driver ) or "choripanero" anywhere......they haven't let me down ever!!!! Of course I'm proud to say...I have learned the art of asado here thanks to my "suegro" and...

This is some stellar advice offered right here... Honestly I wouldn't even focus on teaching English....in Buenos Aires it should be fairly easy for you to find employment using your English skills....especially if you like sales or customer support oriented type work. Since you have native...

Unfortunately everything you've written about is all too familiar....we've been here about the same amount of time.. I just don't really see the situation improving, at least not in the short term for sure. My wife works as a "Psychopedagoga" ( did I spell that right? Anyways she works in the...

You were a bit further south than where he was positioned. San Rafael is about 200 kilos north of there. He said there was quite a bit of activity they had detected on the Chilean border up there near Mendoza....which was why they sent his division and a few others in the area just in case...

Yeah at customs your allowed like 1 or 2 small packages a year. Just make sure that you mention it's a gift and declare how much was paid... whatever you do DON'T put cash in the packages.. as in "US dollars" of any kind.

That just made me laugh...law enforcement in Arg is kind of a funny thing..... In Argentina, you'd be surprised how much police are actually "involved" in robberies....it would boggle the mind. My friends that were robbed violently twice in 2 weeks....those were police from the local...

My friend ( who was rank of cournal during the war ) told me that he was stationed south of Mendoza near San Rafael. Argentina was seriously worried about being flanked by the Chileans from the border while occupied in the Malvinas and intelligence pointed to them (chileans) potentially...

I was never there in San Juan during summer but I could only imagine. I stayed at "San Augustin del valle Fertile" for 4 nights while there after I visited San Juan....a fantastic place to visit....had "Locro" for the first time there. I remember the nightime especially in Payogasta being...

No...but THIS has got to be my favorite...tell me you haven't seen one or two of these....LOL Your Argentine tax contributions at work!!

You haven't lived in Argentina until you've ridden in one of these....with the extra tanks in the trunk. This could still fetch about $15,000 pesos here. Bungy cords holding the drivers side door shut. Amazingly "reliable" and they run FOREVER...it's scary! Argentines are known for their...

San Juan is nice....it's been some years since I've been there but it's not very large from what I remember. Salta is very nice....it's where my wife and I honeymooned for 3 days....I like Salta and "Las Empanadas Salteñas" with the spicy chimi style "aji" dipping sauce....delicious. They sell...

Interestingly enough I found about half of the stuff that was stolen from my home on "Mercado Libre"...LOL A little detective work on my wifes part and within a day she blew the lid on the guy. A co-worker of mine who's dad was the local "fiscal" ...after evidence presented, ordered two...

Don't remind me LOL....my 2 year old got his in 5 days.....

My favorite are the nightime drivers with no front headlights lit...
