  • my friend and relatives always told me that be very carefully one time you get out from the exchange bank.. there are people who told u "hey mate this money on the floor is yours?" or something like that .. the trick is that you turn around it means that you carry money with you ..yes its stupid but there are so many people suffering so serious economics troubles in Argentina and its just a way to survive... so be aware

     re, Perla, what I always do in my travels: Get a non-English menu off a table from the back of the restaurant. Now the prices are REAL! Keep the menu until you get the bill if you want to compare. And if you are good at it, the menu becomes a souvenir.

     Yes, they loose their lives because of the stupid politicians and the stupid Americans that help England when they where loosin the war.

     for the ppl seeing this page Iīd like to disagree on that BS AS is dangerous or polluted. compared to big european cities like madrid or paris it is very calm and clean. and it is not good for just a few days cause itīs too big and interesting. .
