Yes, of course. When I'm going to a place that's "fine dining" or "exclusive" I don't want to have to deal with low quality, 3rd world bullshit. Especially when entertaining, if we're seated by a grumpy 60 year old male, then shown a few pieces of hard, store bought bread with garbage "french...

If you ask 5 different Argentines this you'll get 5 different answers, so there isn't really a best, however my favorite is Don Julio in Palermo. La Hormiga is high quality too. If you want the best value for the money, go to Estilo Campo in Puerto Madero, still world class quality but often...

Sorry you had to go through that, it can be quite traumatic. I still agree though that in general Argentina is safe. The most dangerous thing about Argentina is the women. One must excersize extreme caution with them. I will admit that most Argentine men walk the country with a facial...

The Brazil I know, 80-90% of the populace has an IQ on par with sub Saharan Africa, instincts of violence/incest/bestiality/rape/etc and couldn't care less about anything in life besides naked women, licor & soccer . It's a country where votes get bought with soda pop & potato chips, and has...

1. Most of Brazil is not Ipanema or Floripa - it's chaos. Average Brazilian isn't waking up saying "cara... that pension crisis and budget deficit has me so worried...", they just want to be able to walk outside without having a machete or pistol in their face, which most can't. - Watch this...

The thing is- he doesn't need congress, military, etc because he's like an Uribe, Fujimori, Ortega, that guy in Honduras who I can't remember & probably many others. Politically he is an outsider but he has deep connections & respect in the underworld, in places like Brazil this is what matters...

Uncivilized ghetto culture. When mothers sell their daughters off to pedophiles by age 15. When sons get their first broken nose by dad at 10 or 15, by 20 or 25 psycho killers. Big parts of the population in Latin America are like this, Argentina no, well no more than Europe or US.

Man... this topic... People used to tell us don't go to mendoza! They'll stab you! It's dangerous! We went and it was beautiful. We've been to Rosario, it's a place like Miami, Dallas, etc. You need to know where not to go. Don't buy drugs, women, etc and you're very likely to get on fine...

If you're coming from Saudi Arabia you won't be impressed with Argentine accommodation. This is my only complaint about Argentina, they don't have any exclusive/nice/modern residential areas. Palermo, Recoleta, etc has character but the vast majority of it is run down buildings who haven't had...

I've lived/worked in Chile on and off for over 10 years. Chileans suck. They are not happy, singing, dancing, smiling Latinos like most the rest of the continent, Chilean culture is more like Japan or Singapore. Chile is a very authoritarian country. The average Chilean is raised to be scared...

Thank you for all of your help, much appreciated.

I've read this forum a lot and I'll say that while I haven't actually lived in Arg, I have been there a number of times and was married to one so I'll give my .02. Argentina isn't that bad. To give you perspective, on my trips we stay in middle class Palermo. I have never been overcharged by...

I'm not sure if there even was an immigration, what I can conclude with certainty is that we were the only ones concerned with it. @Bajo_cero2 - What's your take on the matter? Will they try to shake us down at EZE? Should we wear Sergio Dalma or Soda Stereo t shirts and carry a thermos of...

Thanks a lot for your response, earlyretirement. You don't think the lack of exit stamp of prior exit would be a problem though? Are they typically strict at EZE about those things? I asked some Argie friends and they said they Argentines don't typically get exit stamps when leaving by land to...

Hello, I have a question. 3 years ago I entered Argentina via Chile. They took down me and my wife's laptop's serial number. We stayed for a few days and went back into Chile, but the bus didn't stop at Argentina immigration, so I never got an exit stamp. When we asked about it in Chile they...
