    Presidential debate Massa vs Millei 9PM. Last one before election.

    Not really a debate, more a shouting match at times. Massa was using childlike tactics to repeatedly cough into his microphone when Milei was speaking, aiming to his disturb him. Massa came across as insincere, and devoid of any valid plans for the country. Overall most disappointing...

    Best city besides Buenos Aires for foreigner to live in?

    Tandil in the province of Buenos Aires is a safe city with nearby sierras ideal for adventure sports such as hiking, mountain biking. The city has never voted for the 'K's which may explain its prosperous status and its attraction for high tech companies and talent to settle there.

    Where can I find a hamster cage?

    To find a cage suitable for hamsters you need look no further than the government cabinet in Plaza de Mayo. There's one big hamster called Massa already turning endless circles in the cage with no easy exit. The bigger hamsters, some call them rats, have already been let out to play!

    Airline ticket prices

    Latam airlines economy experience was OK probably about equal to BA in the back of the plane, although they use older aircraft on this route. The Airbus A350 version flown by BA is quiet and has good inflight entertainment system for the long flight. Of course there is the risk ( small in my...

    Airline ticket prices

    Flown British Airways (BA) and Latam internationally many times. BA has an excellent lie flat business class seat in a brand new aircraft from London Heathrow, I managed to get an upgrade to this seat last month. The same aircraft stops in Sao Paulo (GRU) for around 1.5 hours and continues onto...

    Argentina lose connections to 18 cities worldwide

    Agree Santiago (SCL) was a much better option especially for Argentines living far from Buenos Aires. You could avoid the hassle of flying into Aeroparque then transferring to Ezezia. Living in Mendoza at the time you could quickly get to most places internationally. Unfortunately the current...

    Argentina lose connections to 18 cities worldwide

    Nope that is incorrect, demand from the Middle East was strong before the pandemic, Qatar Airways flights consistently had high load factors and Turkish Airlines current service from Istanbul is dong well. Doha, Istanbul and if Emirates return Dubai, enable good connectivity to Asia from South...

    Argentina lose connections to 18 cities worldwide

    Sadly this original report is largely accurate. To understand better why so many airlines have left Argentina it's not as simple as it seems. EZE Airport is the second most expensive airport in the world to land an aircraft, only Tokyo is more costly for airlines. The air carriers must pass...

    Argentina lose connections to 18 cities worldwide

    Depends where you plan to fly to...on my recent flight to London and back there was plenty of availability. Prices are mostly fixed in USD or equivalent for most airlines flying from Argentina. If the economic situation here gets a whole lot worse, (quite likely with the current government) and...

    Argentina lose connections to 18 cities worldwide

    When the newly appointed Economy Minister Silvina Batakis declared that the right to travel abroad “clashes with the right to create jobs." it does indeed help explain why airlines will need some convincing to ever return flying to and from Argentina.

    Golf

    Indeed Macri went to the same public school in Tandil that my wife went to in the centre here. He does indeed play that golf course regularly when he is here. As for Cristina, her game isn't found on the fairways, she plays off each other politician to score high and win big! And when that's...

    Golf

    Once played a round of golf at Pilar Golf Club. I'm not really a golfer myself, and got in to play only as a visitor. What I do recall apart from the numerous bunker shots I had to play, was that out of the sky a helicopter descended onto the golf course, and out jumped ex President Menem for a...
