Hi guys, Our small tour company, Football De Tours, will be taking a group to Argentinos vs Boca on Sunday the 9th. We take public transport to the ground to cut down on costs for you. Price for this one will be US$85 and that includes your ticket (in the nicer platea section), a tour of the...

Another football journalist and I offer accompanied tours to matches for a reasonable fee (we think!). If you are here for three months you will probably be able to figure it out for yourself, but if you'd like us to worry about the getting the tickets and helping decide on the best game to...

http://wander-argentina.com/boxer-carlos-monzon/ An article on the life of Carlos Monzon, who was middleweight world champion for 7 years, dated Susana Gimenez, ended up in prison for killing his second wife, and died in a car crash while on a day's leave from jail.

Wait.. is the 'at least one Expert' line a dig at me? Because that's how I'm choosing to read it...

I've been here on a tourist visa for about a year and have several trips back and forth to Colonia stamped on my passport. Have any permatourists done the bus trip from Mendoza to Santiago (Chile) and had problems with the migraciones officials on the border? I know the guys at Buquebus are...

It's very easy to just show up at the ground and get tickets for River. They stadium seats 65000 and it rarely gets completely full. Buy tickets in the San Martin Alta stand -- you'll get a nice view and you're away from the hooligans: AR$150.

Thanks for your replies. Frickin bank now says they cover overseas transaction fees but not fees charged by the local banks here. Bastards.

I just noticed a similar thread has gone up, but my question is more specific. I too have an Australian bank account and use my Debit Card to access funds from ATMs here. My account is a 'Gold' account which is supposed to mean I do not get charged fees for withdrawing money from oversees ATMs...

bump! bumpety

Not going to bother watching the last day of the 1st Test, but a couple of us were watching Day 4 last night at Casabar on one of their screens (via stream). We spoke to the owner and he would be prepared to make sure we have a screen to watch the 2nd Test on - he would even give us the whole...

I've listened 17 times.

"HAND OF POD" podcast previewing the superclasico tomorrow. Hopefully will give you some insight into the game: http://handofpod.wordpress.com/ And here's an article on the match: http://www.argentinafootballworld.com/features/54-river-vs-boca-superclasico-preview-expect-to-see-blood.html

Thanks everyone for your quick response. I've already got my ticket so I'll go on Thurs in the faint hope that I won't have to pay the fine, get an overstay stamp

Thanks very much Steve. I'll go and book my ticket now. Do you think there's any chance they'll overlook the fine this time? It will be 5 days overstay - that's pushing it, isn't it?

Crap - I just looked at my passport and realised I'm at 93 days. Very stupid, I know - I thought I had more time. I could try to get a ferry over to Colonia in the next two days, or head down to migraciones (last time I went to Colonia). One time I took the Buque after I had overstayed 2 or 3...

Thank you sir

What time does the game start exactly?

Brilliant Napoleon. Related to your point 12, I've always noticed that there are dozens of words that they say that don't actually have any meaning, other than to fill the air with more words. The same thing exists in English (well, anyway etc.) but in Castellano it's out of control. bueno...

Anyone interested in watching the match? I believe the owner of Casabar can get a feed, but only if we can get a group of people interested in watching it. I'm too lazy to figure it out, so can anyone tell me exactly when it's on, BA time?

Knowing that the game would end in a draw, I didn't bother watching it last night. Wouldn't mind seeing the real Grand Final next week. Any feedback on The Alamo's telecast? Was it up to scratch?
