Warnings Or Dangers: Taxi's Doors

    • I've noticed that almost all the people from abroad (not matter the nationality) tends to close taxi's doors really hard. Be carefull, that is seen as an offense and some taxi driver can be angry because of that. It's better closing it twice than have an akward moment....

    Note que la mayoria de la gente del exterior (no importa la nacionalidad) tienden a cerrar las puertas de los taxis muy fuerte. Esto puede ser tomado como ofensivo por los taxistas. Es mejor tener que cerrarla dos veces antes de pasar un momento incomodo.

    • In Buenos Aires there are 3 companies to rent a cellular: Movistar, Personal and CTI. I want to warn you about CTI, I had lot's of problems with them and I changed to Movistar...

    Besides that, you must know that you must brig a triband cellular to be able to work with our GSM Cards.

    En Buenos Aires hay 3 companias de telefonos celulares para alquilar: Movistar, Personal y CTI. Les quiero advertir sobre CTI, ya que yo tuve muchos problemas con ellos y me
    cambie a Movistar...

    Aparte de eso, tienen que saber que para que sus telefonos funcionen con nuestras tarjetas GSM tienen que ser tribanda.
