    How can the food here be so bad ?

    San Luis is similar to Cordoba, both provinces actually share the hills so you can expect lots of asados not only red meat but chicken and pork as well. Empanadas, something called 'Locro', different types of stews, etc. There is good seafood there so you can make a good grilled salmon at the...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    The Pampas are like the wild west so you can not expect international food there. Generally speaking little towns in Argentina are not touristy for foreigners, I believe it has to do with politics as well and how it was developed over the past decades. I have a cabin in Merlo, San Luis and...

    sounds like El Club De La Milanesa, you have to do some exploring to get good stuff in BA and when you do that you get amazing food. Worst food on planet earth sounds extreme XD.

    Politics Argentina and Uruguay Progress on Bilateral Permanent Residency and Licensing Agreement

    There's no reciprocity, government is planning to let the universities decide wether if they want to charge to foreigners or not. Free university for students seems wonderful, but that means that the tax payers have to afford it.

    Politics Argentina and Uruguay Progress on Bilateral Permanent Residency and Licensing Agreement

    I guess it should be simple to get, that's the intent of the Mercosur Visa. From what I read, in Argentina you need similar paperwork: except no need to present bank statements, but they ask for a birth certificate and utility bills. Also is really cheap (less than 2 dollars), I paid around US$...

    Politics Argentina and Uruguay Progress on Bilateral Permanent Residency and Licensing Agreement

    Researched a bit more: the treate between Uruguay and Brasil makes it easier to get residency you just have to provide passport and police background check. For Mercosur Visa you have to do more paperwork.

    Most probably will be much easier, degree validation sounds good, they'll also homologate the driver licenses so it can be used in both countries.

    nope, it's interesting though when they mention that even in Wales youngers are not learning the language and there in the middle of nowhere in Patagonia it's being taught in schools.

    No, it's in the middle of nowhere, the story seems interesting but looks like there's not much to do there.
