What makes Amazon so great in the States is their customer service and return policy. The problem with Argentina is it is far away from everywhere. Even if Amazon wanted to operate here they would need to move operations here. It is too difficult being so far. Half the time the stuff ends up...

10% is normal. It's great that some restaurants are letting you leave the tip on credit card now. Progress!

Don't hesitate to go to Rio. Just got back from there. So many flights from AEP. I didn't have any issues at all. Stayed at the JW Marriott in Copacabana and had a great time! My friend stayed in an Airbnb. Uber works great there.

Just went to Guerrin. Delicious!
