In the meantime, there's plenty to enjoy in Aryentina...


When I went there I expected to see more signs of stress, but I was wrong. Things aren't too bad, but they are slowly getting worse. There might be another year or so to go before things start to really collapse. In the meantime, there's plenty to enjoy in Argentina, since living standards are rising and the economy is growing (but nowhere near as fast as the government claims). The mood of the people is generally good, things are peaceful, the planes fly on time, and we didn't see a single protest/strike/shutdown such as we have seen on previous trips.

  3. Opino lo mismo que Francisco.
    Por estos días, en Tucumán las cosas no están mucho mejor, y algunos buenos músicos lo pudieron comprobar.
