    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    I am looking at the Visit Argentina page on the same website. It clealy says $140. Looks like it says $140 in one section of the site and $160 in another. This underscores my point about garbled messaging. http://www.embassyofargentina.us/v2011/en/visitargentina/main.htm

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    I spend time on two travel sites-- Trip Advisor and Cruise Critic. There are numerous complaints on these sites and several posters who have changed destinations due to hassles. To your point re communication.....the EZE airport site correctly mentions the current entry/reciprocity fee of usd...

    reciprocity fee - must pay online

    Is there moral justification or charging a reciprocity fee? Is the new method of payment consistent with procedures used by other countries? I will leave it To others to answer these questions. I would only add that these questions aside, this and many recent decisions will hurt an already...

    Fashion in BA

    Or maybe they are aware that to many in the south the Confederate Flag is a symbol of resistance to Yankee Imperialism, a sentiment held by many locals? Maybe locals are smarter than you give credit for.

    Wines in B.A.

    De acuerdo. DV Catena and Angelica Zapata....but not exactly cheap. I don't drink much white wine but the Angelica Zapata Estiba Reserva Chardonnay I had a few years ago was memorable.

    Do as we say but not as we do

    Compare Argentina to Brazil. Brazil is building on its trade in natural resources and agriculture to diversify, turning out superior products such as regional and jet aircraft that have become leaders in the global marketplace. I can't really think of a single product made in Argentina that is...

    Get your pots out for the lads!

    Wonder what her take is on Madame K and all her cronies stashing their loot in dollars? Here is a take from one of my pot banging friends: " The main government spokesman for the theme that Argentinians should "think in Pesos," who was long Cristina's chief of staff and now is a senator, was...

    In other news, inflation in Argentina spirals ahead. But maybe with enough diversions no one will notice. :)

    YPF Nationalized

    Not all things that are "lawful" are wise. If the law of the land permits its government to take over privately held businesses owned by foreigners, why would any foreign investor with a brain ever invest in that country again? Why would any foreigner buy land or property in that country? Why...

    Argentine films ( The best )

    Totally agree about the movie and Norma Aleandro's performence. Another very good movie about the Dirty War: Cronica de una fuga. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waq2faZe6vU

    I was called a racist!

    I could not disagree more. We no longer live in the late 70's when the speaker was a lad. Back then, wagging a finger at those who thoughtlessly used the "n-word" advanced the cause of equality and human rights. These days the pendulum has swung to the other extreme. No one uses the N-word...

    I was called a racist!

    I am a white male heterosexual. In the span of the past 5 years I have been called both racist and sexist. I dream of the day that I am called a homophobe to complete the trifecta. Seriously, there are too many people in New York and around the world who believe themselves to be models of...
