I second the North for October. Base in Salta, a few days in Cafayate and a trip to Jujuy to see the salt flats, huamauaca, tilcara etc. October is the best period here, warm, but not too warm and pretty low season so it's not packed and prices are decent. At work now so don't have much time...

Last time I had a phone unlocked it was 60 pesos but that's a few years back so 120 now doesn't sound too bad. However, depending on the phone you might be able to do it yourself. I don't know that much about the subject but a Google search on "unlock" and the model number will probably give...

Yes it's funny, whatever is wrong is always one of those two or allergies. For instance my wife is allergic to the change in temperature apparently. Can't remember having heard about "liver attack" or the "low pressure" anywhere else, not even in Italy while I was living there. I laughed it...

When I grow up (and have loads of money) I will only fly with BA, my favorite by far.

Argentina is Latin american champion in ice-cream! http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1590994-la-argentina-se-consagro-campeon-latinoamericano-del-helado

No, I have not. Do you have any information about this? Haven't seen anything in local newspapers.

"Old dogs can't learn new tricks" is a myth. One of my rescues was 7 when I took him in, a nightmare for the first week, within a couple of weeks he could sit, lay down, high five, do his business outside and behave indoors. It's just about training (positive-enforced in my case), nothing magic...

I once had a visa misunderstanding entering the US after an 11 hour flight (before 2001). Something similar happened, except that I was thrown in an Airport cell for 3 hours, then escorted in to my return flight in cuffs by 2 huge armed airport security guys parading through the entire plane (of...

Aleina Dee's comment makes me think of one of the things that really bothers me (sorry slightly off-topic and I am not saying this is the case with anyone here but nevertheless); In general people seem to understand that when you have a big dog you need to train it to be well-behaved while it's...

I second that. Neutering lowers the testosterone levels, have other health benefits and just makes sense unless there's a very special reason not to. My rescued male used to pick fights in the park before I got him neutered, he's much more relaxed outside and inside now. Note that even...

I have never been asked about a departure going in to Argentina, however I was once stopped by British Airways going out of England but managed to talk my way out of it. That only happened once in about 10 times that I have entered though.

Very good thread with very good advice. I have 4 dogs, 3 rescued from the park (one already grown up and two as puppies) and I have also rescued a few more that I have given away (to responsible owners). Finding a good vet is crucial, make sure you get all the correct vaccines and do the...

I know you said you disregarded it, but I reckon it will be CFK again and again.. I obviously hope for anything else (like I did the last election) but I just can't see her giving up power without a fight, what would she do? I know she is rich and all that but she I think she likes the power...

I tend to not speak much about the problems here as I don't want to scare clients. Phrases like; We are late because the internet wasn't working last night, or the power was out just doesn't cut it. For me that goes for inflation as well, if the price went up that's just how it is, no...

But even the freeze on those products will be on the "new and improved price" I assume?

I agree, Salta is a small town (half a million people) and when I first visited I loved it but thought the same - it's only good for a short time. Then I fell in love, got married and have now been here 6 years. I lived in Milan, London and BA before here so the difference was big but you get...

Not surprising but very annoying. Thanks for the heads up.

Why would you not learn spanish if you are staying here for more than a short vacation? I lived in italy, learned italian, lived in england, improved my english, lived here learned spanish (well castellano to be accurate). If you want to learn about the culture, if you want to hang out with...
