Because the country is incredibly awesome?

- Incredibly low cost of living.
- Tons of cool European architecture.
- Beautiful Argentine women.
- Good internet access and big city amenities you are used to.
- Lots of good theatre & tango shows.
- Very safe for how large the city is, especially considering it is in South America. I feel entirely comfortable walking 10 blocks at 3 am coming back from a bar or taking a cab from across town.
- Great Argentine food. Must like beef though.
- Low cost of living is worth repeating. 60 cent empanadas, $2-3 taxi rides, $1-2.50 for drinks at bars.
- The people are really friendly as well.

Downsides:

- You are coming during winter.
- Not a whole lot of people speak English. Any extended stay requires spanish classes if you aren't already fluent.

che... que flor de boludes... que trucha!!!... no it's actually pretty much right on

spanish is relatively easy to learn if you speak english already

i used to have argentinian room-mates, have not been to the country yet, but from what i've heard from them, their friends, and tourists, moving down there could be very fun

if i had the chance i'd def. consider argentina (though prob. move to buenos aires just to get comfy then move out of the city to someplace nicer)
