Friday, December 18, 2009. When Do They Sleep? And More Insight from 3 BA Entrepreneurs. I really don’t know how the Argentine population does it. They go to work, then many work a second job - maybe out of fear for another financial crisis – then they eat dinner out around 10:00 pm, despite the rising costs and worries about looming inflation (the government is only predicting it at around 11% when it’s really looking like 21% in the next year). After a. I guess the coffee is a little stronger. Daniel r...

Monday, December 21, 2009. La Cabrera = Delicious. And I wandered back to Palermo Soho last night for another delicious meal at La Cabrera. The steak is absolutely amazing at this place and definitely my favorite (hence the secon. Visit) I even ordered my own so I could have leftovers as a mid-day snack. And even better - my delicious meal, wine, and great service only cost us about $119 pesos or about $31 dollars each. Try and get that in DC! Posted by Amanda Reuss. Friday, December 18, 2009. In a recen...

Tuesday, December 15, 2009. To Uruguay and Back. As I mentioned below, we took an overnight trip to Colonia, Uruguay via the Buquebus. It wouldn't be fair to call this a ferry, more like a cruise ship. OK. that might be a tiny bit of stretch, but I was very impressed by the service. The terminal in Argentina was just as impressive. Overheard in the Uruguay customs office on Monday, December 14 around 6:00pm, a conversation went something like this:. Customs Official: "No change.". Here's a photo from the...

Thursday, December 10, 2009. 48 Hours Until Departure.and Yes, I Still Need to Pack. As I enter the 48 hour window before leaving the US, I still have a few minor details to take care of:. Buyer behavior final exam. International business take home exam (for the Argentina course). A nice little to-do list at work. Oh yeah, and I need to pack. But that's definitely not standing in the way of my excitement level continuing to grow. So, what's the plan? And Kogod's International Programs. Just to think, las...

http://kogodinargentina.blogspot.com/2009/12/welcome-to-buenos-aires.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Welcome to Buenos Aires. Well, we have officially been exposed to life in Buenos Aires (and a few of us have seen Colonia, Uruguay, too) for the past 24 hours. I can honestly say we are enjoying every moment. After an on-time flight (thumbs up to American Airlines) from both DC to Miami and then Miami to Buenos Aires, I arrived in the city around 8:00 am Sunday morning and as you will see pictured above, I happened to walk by this lovely galleria (recognize it? Company Visits ...

Friday, December 11, 2009. We just received an email from one of our classmates, Nisha, as she just arrived in Buenos Aires. I thought I would post what she sent to the group. Just wanted to let you know I finally reached Buenos Aires safe and sound after a one-day delayed travel due to weather on Wednesday night. It's a bit dreary and rainy here today but warm and humid. For those arriving this weekend- it's supposed to be hot and sunny! The people here are SO very nice! Posted by Amanda Reuss. Welcome ...

Thursday, December 17, 2009. Tango, Steak and more! I'm trying to catch up from the past few days, because I have a lot to share and we have to be back on the bus for our first company visit today in about 10 minutes. Since Tuesday morning, we have stayed very busy and yesterday (Wednesday) was the first day of company visits (Kimberly Clark and AmCham), along with a tango show, lessons and - of course - a steak dinner. I'm adding some photos below from the past few days. The band during the show. Walkin...

Friday, December 18, 2009. Our Dedicated Tour Guide. More like unofficial tour guide, but Humberto (fellow MBA classmate, also from Honduras) has done an excellent job of helping those of us who speak poor Spanish (or no Spanish at all) communicate with the locals. He commented the first day of class that he would act as our tour guide and has done a nice job. Above: A true moment of translation from Humberto at a local tango club. Keith went public with his Spanish speaking issues. Posted by Amanda Reuss.
