Thanks Spaw, my son is coming back soon to stay for some months in Bs.Aires and leave again to Canada or USA. His goal is to make flight-hours fast and economical (he is a Commercial Pilot with not enough hours to apply for a job), Venezuela proved economical but the problems of criminal activity are ENORMOUS. Argentina is safe but too expensive. (Yes, I know, no place has it all :)
Un abrazo - Andrés
