I used to belong, during the Menem days. At that time there were more American members but over time they left and most of the members were Argentine. There used to be two floors with a nice library. Then they reduced to one floor. No more library. Over time more Spanish was spoken than English and it looked like a SOUTH American club to me. The Presidents had to be American in the past. Then they changed the rules to allow Argentines. What really got me was when a US ambassador came to speak on election day (this was not Vilma Martinez but a Cuban-American, I think appointed by Bush -- not sure.). He spoke in Spanish which I thought inappropriate. I can not imagine Argentines making these concessions at their institutions - but that's my view. Anyway, I haven't had a great desire to return but I do agree that the restaurant has a nice view of the Colon. I can't imagine it is hard to get admitted. They used to expect you to wear a suit but that may have changed too.

It's funny reading the menu of this "American Club" with a number of mis-translated menu items. When I do go there I think I will order the "Shrimps cocktail, the sprawn kebabs and for dessert I will have to decide between the ice creams and the sweet and cheese".

didn't the American Club merge with the British Club???

There was an English Club - as i recall on 25 de Mayo. it was much nicer than the American Club. Felt like a London Club. It closed some years ago. The Anglo-Argentine community has declined and assimilated quite a lot. They had financial problems. A member told me that the American Club offered a merger (could have been the Anglo-American Club) but some English Club members were adamantly opposed so they preferred to die. That's what I was told anyway. I went to functions at the English Club a number of times and enjoyed the setting but Anglo-Argentines can be insufferable - stuck up and often anti- American.

I imagine networking.

In a country were nepotism isn't really frowned upon I imagine it is a very handy business and personal networking resource.

Ha ha, I know it's only Monday, but that has to be the understatement of the week.

One things for sure if your coming here as a non-local and are here for the long haul if you fail to grasp the concept/importance of building relationships here you will never be successful in business. Its important everywhere, but Latin America (and especially Argentina) its extremelyyyy important.
