Hi All Any ideas how many suitcases you can take on board per passenger for domestic aerolinas argentinas flights? Their website states a maximum of 15kg (rather stingy) but doesnt say how many bags? http://ww1.aerolineas.com.ar/arg/main.asp?idSitio=US&idPagina=52&idIdioma=en Thanks

Just a heads up to mention they are expecting upto a million Argentines to be visiting Paraguay to see the pope this weekend. Expect travel chaos on biblical proportions towards the end of the week.

Now if i`ve understood this, Samsung want to put television displays on the back of trucks to project using a front mounted camera to see whats ahead on the rear of the truck, so drivers can overtake safely. Are they crazy or just plain stupid. If there isnt anything more distracting to a driver...

Not sure how long this will be up on youtube but this was shown recently about Patagonia and the welsh community down there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x7B9AIgyjs

Hi all So we`re leaving Arg in a few months sadly to go back to the UK ,and we have loads of things we need to leave behind, mainly our kids clothes that they have outgrown. I`ve had an argument with my Argentine wife who wants to sell all the clothes because they were expensive. But I just...

Nice article in todays guardian about Mendoza wine and restaurants. http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/apr/17/wine-route-mendoza-argentina-vineyards

I wish i could understand supermarket mentality here, i really do. Like the driving I`ll never get used to it. For example today I went at a quiet period, arrived to an near empty car park and someone had decided to park across one of the lanes of the car park in a big 4x4 toyota truck right in...

Has anyone experience of using a PO Box or similar somewhere outside of Argentina ie Uruguay, Chile,Paraguay,etc for importing goods and then going to collect them at a later date. For example , i`m thinking of having some personal items and a laptop sent from back in the uk and wondered if it...

I watched this on BBC iplayer the other day, its a programme about famous chefs travelling the world to discover the cuisines of 6 or so countries. This week was in Argentina. Highly recommended if your interested in Argentine asado and beef (who isnt!) p.s you`ll need to use some internet hack...

Any ideas why cableTV here does not have any news channels that show whats happening in the outside world, and I`m not talking about the Pope when I mean international news. Is it the cost of broadcasting foreign news? or do Argentines generally not care about whats happening elsewhere and would...

Anyone given the new google translate app update a go yet, might be quite useful (or not). http://www.theguardi...-new-york-video

Top Gear Patagonia Part 1 was on last night if anyone is interested, quite entertaining, although the format is getting tired now imho. The usual, take the mickey out of each others cars, cars breakdown, get lost in the wilderness,etc. Some nice scenery though even if it did seem half the time...

We`re going to embark on a 10 day road trip upto Iguazu, misiones and cordoba. Does anyone have experience of long distance driving recommend the best days to travel. I`m thinking Sunday morning to travel to Iguazu and then late week misiones and then down to cordoba the saturday. Just want to...

Has anyone used their DNI to enter the iguazu falls (Argentine side) ? We`re going early next year an according to the entrance fees http://www.iguazuargentina.com/que-hacer/informacion-visitante/horarios-y-tarifas/ Its $215 for foreigners and $80 for Argentine residents. Now in *theory* that...

Ever since coming to Argentina i`ve always been amazed at the amount of internal dampness on walls, ie bubbling paint or lumps of plaster just falling away. I`ve now noticed it in our two year old house. I`ve refilled the places and painted but I wonder why it starts in the first place? Is it...

I`ve travelled over to Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Chile a number of times and I receive mixed messages from officials as to whether I can use a either my Passport or DNI. But twice now I have been told off my officials for using my DNI as i`m a foreigner and narrowly avoided a fine. So i`m...

This was on the bbc last night, i`m downloading it through the interweb now . Seems to have mixed reviews but worth a look, its in two parts. http://www.telegraph...-indulgent.html

Apologies if this has done the rounds, but I came across it whilst watching his rant on what happened in Ferguson,Missouri. Thought it was funny and true as usual from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_I3JYCU9rI

Hi All Have some domestic duties today and thats trying to clean my grubby kids white school tops (why do they insist on white school tops ?). Does anyone know of some industrial strength cleaner that can remove paint, pen, rust, god knows etc from white clothes. I have 6 school tops that are...
