What a beautiful country, full of diversity. The Argentines are friendly and helpful. There are quite a number of cultures in Argentina, unusual considering the "Closed Door" policy the government has had on immigration for the past few decades. Most foreign cultures moved to Argentina in the 30's and 40's. Remember the Germans during WWII? 

Spanish is the primary language, but you can hear Portugese, German and, of course, English. In my business, English is the worldwide language of choice. 

The country is very progressive, even with the high unemployment rate and the inflation they have to deal with. Buenos Aires is a very cosmopolitan city that boasts the widest avenue in the world. There is a great Obelisk in the middle of the avenue that is spectacular. 

There are two airports in Buenos Aires,  Newbery (AEP) used for international travels and Pistarini (EZE), used for in-country travels. I always arrive at Newbery and then have to drive across the city to Pistarini to catch a flight to the western parts of Argentina. All the oil business is in the West and South.

Neuquen (notice anything unusual about the spelling?) is the unofficial oil capital in Argentina. It's located in the Western part of the country. It's a nice town, small and friendly. The people there will discuss the Argentine economy with you without hesitation, which is unusual. Most Argentines in the oil business have an understanding of the world economy and where Argentina fits into it. They are not happy, with the state of theirs.

A friend of mine who lives there just had his first child. I'll post pictures when he sends them to me.
