I've been for 3 weeks on a rugby tour. It is still my fav place in the world!

We went to Buenos aires, cordoba, snatiago del estero and tucamen. Stayed with locals most of the time.

The ugliest women we seen in clubs would have been a normal girl over here, no joke.

The beef was insane.

The people were insane, the guys we stayed with in cordoba said they regularily went to clubs midweek till 7/8am, went home had a s**t, shower and shave and off to work/school for 9am!

We stayed with some extremly poor people in santiago del estero, they were probably the nicest people I've met thou!

I really really really want to go back, buy an island in the panana (sp) river beside buenos aires and put a house and gym on it! Happy
