    Aerolineas Argentinas and Flight to NZ

    Never ever ever fly with them! I have used them three times and every single time the flights were either canceled or delayed significantly. NEVER AGAIN!

    how many pieces of luggage are OK to bring as a tourist?

    I just arrived as a "tourist" with four suitcases - three large ones and one carry on -, two laptops, two cameras, loads of other stuff too. Strolled through customs, gave them a nice smile and one of the guys even helped me get my "I am obviously moving to Argentina" luggage on the scanner...

    Shoe Repair Prices

    Wow!! Expensive!! I just got three pairs done for 35 pesos. One pair of boots were re-soled, re-heeled and the guy painted the heels where they were worn. One pair of sandals needed strap glued and he did it for free and sorta laughed at me for not owning shoe glue! And the third were...

    Which things should I bring when I move from the US?

    Technology, technology and technology and technology accessories. There is a (completely ridiculous) technology tax here so laptops, MP3 players, camera, phones, etc, whatever you use are much more expensive here than in the US. If you play music, strings, instruments and things are much more...

    Where can I watch All Ireland Hurling Final?

    This is not true at all. About eighteen months ago the GAA sent over people to coach all the kids that play hockey in the hurling club. They also donated lots of little hurleys and they play regularly. They train more than once a month, as far as I know. Some of them are actually quite good...

    Susan Boyle Breaks You Tube Record

    I adore Susan, she is a strong example of how real music and talent have been replaced by marketing, rubbish and "beauty". The shock on people's faces is incredible.

    How bad for you is argentine beef?

    The big farmers pump their cows with all sorts of hormones and drugs to fatten them up for the markets. This is first hand information, from a farmer. It happens everywhere in the world. To survive in today's markets they are forced to do the same as everywhere else but here they don't have any...

    Uggs?

    Good choice! The best thing is to come with almost nothing and then you can be tempted with all the beautiful clothes, shoes, boots, bags, etc. here. There are so many stores with things that you cannot get outside Argentina. Every time I go home I get "where did you get that gorgeous _____?"...

    Cambio?

    If you are changing cash or bringing cash into the country to change try to make sure the bills are in perfect condition. I have been handed back bills lots of times in the last couple of years with a little rip or corner missing or with something written on them. You can change the 'bad' bills...
