    Best source for week's events?

    Once you access the www.mybuenosairestravelguide site, or contact them, you will receive emails every 2 or 3 days with all kinds of events, that is another reason I think this site is great. Saves hours of net surfing in Spanish, at least for me. I just looked at ReelDee's site and found a...

    Obamacare: Say goodbye to Grandma and the grandkids!

    Steve, even you could be elected to Congress in the US....fastest way to become a millionaire in America today. Napoleon could just run on his ego..............that would far outsize his ideas. Pericles would never be elected, much too sensible and level headed.

    Lost in an Abyss of Drugs, and Entangled by Poverty

    So happy that Igor is 'up and Linking", Thanks Pericles and Igor. I cannot comment on the Drug Epidemic here in Argentina, although it certainly appears to be on the increase, with Paco. I would compare it to the Crack epidemic in the US. While reading the article, I clicked on Swine Flu...

    I flew out of EZE on APRIL 27TH, and was charged a $300 PESO FINE FOR MY EXPIRED VISA. The new fine was put into effect the week before, and they plan to keep it! So, unless you enjoy giving money away, it is best to keep your visa current, at the more reasonable rates. Also, before leaving...
