Argentina: Cordoba Advice:
Hey Jim, Hope these answers resolve some of your issues with Cordoba.
1. Yes, Cordoba is both city and scenic. The city has a lot of restaurants, shopping, bars, etc. And if you want to go hiking or enjoy some marvelous views, the mountains are amazing. And yes, people do swim in the lakes during the summer.
2. Mar del Plata is much more of a tourist town, and it does not compare to the scenic beauty of Cordoba.
3. A chic residential suburb is Cerro de las Rosas.
4. Yes, a 6-month rental lease is possible, and it depends on depends on the number of square meters you need.

Argentina: 10 Tips for Living in Argentina:
Hi there,
I've been living in Buenos Aires, Argentina for more than a year, and I have a few recommendations I'd like to share:
1) Always keep coins handy. The buses only accept coins, and, oddly enough, there is a shortage of coins here.
2) Be extra careful when you are crossing the streets as there are hardly any Stop signs, and drivers drive very fast.
3) Always hold onto your valuables tight! Buenos Aires is safe, but you still need to keep your wits about you.
4) Argentina's Castellano Spanish is unique in the Spanish-speaking world for its grammar, accent, and vocabulary.
5) Argentina has many public hospitals and (relatively inexpensive) private hospitals/clinics that you can take advantage of if you do not have health insurance.
These are just a few tips. I also recommend taking a look at www.livinginargentina.com for a much fuller picture on life, business, travel and beyond in Argentina.
Saludos,
Caroline
