Argentina what a country... It took us 1 and a half hours to cross the boarder but it has been worth it. The food and women here have improved 10 fold and everything is cheap as (not the women the other stuff), i.e I picked up a decent snow jacket for like 100 bucks Australian when it would prob be worth double that back home if not more.

This reminds me of the time i signed up for the army and was about to catch a bus down to boot camp...yeah i really didn't know what i was getting myself into! but that turned out to be one of the best things i ever did. A solo backpacking holiday in South America can't be any worse than that. Sure i barely speak any spanish, pretty much no portuguese and havn't really organised exactly where i'm going... but what is the worst [View Full Entry]
