Argentina: reality

Yes, scenery is nice so far. Though, you also need to face all the logistic, even as simple as getting money.

Heard that some major cities are not quite safe, we chose to take cash from ATM instead. And... here is what we got in one of the ATM in Buenos Aires
No English option. We dont know if it is cash advance or not. So we gave up. (We did found another one with English version later on)

And, south America is so huge, the places we wanna see is so far apart. Say, from Rio de Janeiro to Iguazu, the bus trip is about 24 hours. And, the only facility is a seat that can be tilted like a flight seat and a toilet.

Lucky that buses in Argentina is more luxurious. For 'long-hual´buses, they provides meals, movies, blankets and depends on the price you pay your seat can be tilted up to 180 degree (i.e. flat)


And, i have watched about 4 - 5 movies so far. And there is more to come....
