I am very offended that one of the hosts says the infra structure in Argentina will CERTAINLY be better than in Brazil.
Surely, he hasn't been to Argentina. And perhaps hasn't been to Brazil, no matter is it is in the North or the South / Southeast.
Whats even more horrible is that he says taht after mentioning Bolivia. Cmon. Comparing Brazil with Bolivia?
You talk a lot a about the "importance" of your contry the States, but then you should start respecting other countries and making trustworthy comments about them. On the contrary, I liestened to lots of tips on how to bypass security in your home country and to fool peple in other countries, and I dont believe this is what travel is about at all.
One of my US friends was absolutelly nervous and disappointed that no guide (print or on the net) ever clarified how DANGEROUS Argentina was - and IS! -, but they do say that about Brazil.
Well, this lack of information simply made him care about safety in Brazil - and nothing happened - but then not care AT ALL in Argentina - and luckily nothing happened as far as I know, but I was with him when we simply thought we would be killed ina robbery. the fact is that it happened twice in the so called best and richest neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires (Recoleta, Núñez, Belgrano) twice in two days in a row.
SO please be more trustworthy to your listeners, have less prejudice with rich Brazil and get to know a lil bit of how Argentina is sunk in poverty and crisis (well, no news, but it seems no one ever wnats to believe it...)
Cuzz people think Argentina is a white country? Well, this is not true either, anyways...
Enjoying the podcasts! But in case you didn't know... you keep getting some weird interference in your recordings. Sounds like someone has a cell phone near your recording gear causing the digital interference. Not sure, but this podcast and the last one had the same noise. Haven't heard it in any of the other podcasts I listen too.
Keep up the fine work. :-)

Oh! And to the comment that you can't edit video on the iPad... there are already video editing apps for the iPhone and I've used an audio editing app called Hindenburg Journalist or something like that... that gives you great and precise edit control over audio files and imagine it would easily be retooled for video.
Heh.... I think I'm just trying to talk myself into the iPad. ;-)

I don't guess that every student in whole world has a passion of analytical essay creating! However, students ,which do not know how to write have to use a support of great custom comparison essay service and enjoy a result.
The business loans suppose to be useful for guys, which would like to ground their business. As a fact, this is easy to get a consolidation loan.
