    Life in ushuaia

    Freidrich List briefly discussed how torrid zones were better for production of agriculture and other land based resources such as cotton while temperate zones were better suited to manufacturing. Very different economic world from that of those ancient civs you mentioned so it would consitute a...

    Appreciate the detail. Here's my take. Protests and pickets run your life - only in big cities Lines everywhere - only I'm big cities poor costumer service in all aspects - fair Hard/inconvenient to get to - significant problem for me little to no food variety - not a prob if you prefer to...

    Drove through a peripheral part of this region and it was indeed stunning. More my type of landscape than 7 Lagos Andean area. Which things are you unhappy with that Reply Guy was referring to?

    Are you East Asian? If a collapse comes, you want to blend into the local population.

    Sounds good unfortunately no time. My most northern explored point will be Junín. To return to San Carlos, rather than backtracking ruta 40, I'm thinking of taking ruta 237 that goes through Rincoñada. Not as scenic but will allow me to sew the flat, windswept, deserted part of the Patagonia...

    Sounds a lot like me. Doesn't seem too bad. Maybe let her be different.

    Best city besides Buenos Aires for foreigner to live in?

    Have now been to some other places in the area. Despite the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and vastness it's too bleak for me. Towns consistent of kitschy tourist strip surrounded by delapidated houses. Overcast with strong cold wind and droplets. Weather and house styles remind me of Seattle...

    Sounds like an interesting lifestyle you got there. Ya, can't imagine paying for a $5 coffee in a cafe when my instant coffee which is perfectly fine costs 5 cents and takes 1 minute to make. Also rarely eat at restaurants but on this trip have been dining at them every day. Today has a...

    Was told there is a big hippie town in the sierras as well but didn't get a chance to see it. Might cancel Junín and see Bolson instead. EDIT: read up and it seems El Bolson is pure tourism where's Junín has other economic activities, namely fruit and cattle. Not into purely tourist based towns.

    The True Cost of Argentina's Lithium Rush

    "Gerardo Morales of Jujuy, went so far as to offer Elon Musk - the owner of Tesla - the lithium reserves of his province via Twitter." I found this funny. Bypassing the middlemen, going straight to the manufacturer. Federalism making it's way back in Argentina?

    Best city besides Buenos Aires for foreigner to live in?

    El Bolson is in the wrong direction for me. My plan is to drive Bariloche - Villa Angostura - Martin de los Andes - Junín - Bariloche to fly out. Will stay 1 night in San Martín and another in Junín. What's interesting about El Bolson?
