Are There Places Like This In Argentina?

Chileans can't be any more corrupt than Argentines. You and Matias need to stop the flag waving.

One recent year, in Transparency International's corruption survey, Chile rated 15th best of about 180 countries. Argentina ranked about 110th, tied with Libya, Albania and the Palestinian Authority.

Mendoza, 850 000 inhabitants. Still safe after more than 4½ years. Here people carry their backpacks on their backs and you can safely cross microcentro alone at 4 am. I have written about it previously and it hasn't changed. http://baexpats.org/...doza/#post33198

This holds for many towns in las provincias - I have visited some 25 and always felt safe as opposed to BsAs.

You have to be very alert in Valparaiso, Chile (where I lived previously) - certain parts of town are extremely dangerous.

Valparaíso, though, is also Chile's most distinctive and interesting city.
