Hmmm. I Wonder...

Blog forums and expat whisperings are in an upheaval (well, not exactly) over the possibility of paying a reciprocity fee when entering Argentina after Jan 1st, 2009 for US citizens and citizens of select other countries. This US $ 130 fee, is quite a jump from the previously free entrance travelers had been enjoying for years. While the rumor is reciprocity fees will being, the US department of travel (www.travel.state.gov) and other related sites are reporting nothing on the change. MiniHostels will entering Argentina yet again, after to date and will report back in full effect on the matter. Paid or unpaid we'll give the real deal on the Argentina's payment plan and let you know how it goes down.

Always lending a helping hand...MiniHostels.

What Else Is There?

Well, lots actually. MiniHostels will now be offering members a weekly newsletter and information on travel that is practically essential to the world traveler. Along with offering our travelers more hostels and better discounts (because as we well know, the more hostels the more discounts we can offer) the MiniHostels staff will now be sending our members uptodate information regarding MiniHostels and travel.

Happy Holidays!

Although its unlikely you'll be seeing any super festivly decorated Christmas trees this time of year in Argentina, you can look forward to some festive celebrating from Argentines this holiday season!

As you may know MiniHostels is located in Buenos Aies, Argentina. We're a staff made up of a lot of cultures and beliefs with Christmas and Hanukah celebrated among us all.

For Christmas in Argentina, families mainly get together on Christmas even for dinner and presents. This lasts until about midnight when the city explodes in a sea of color in a fireworks show that lights up the city sky. THis goes on for hours an is truly amazing. Afterwords most youngsters head out to the clubs for some dancing until all early hours of the morning where Christmas day is spent sleeping, lounging and eating meals with family.

As far as the holidays go Christmas Eve is the BIG DAY and like most holidays, our porteno friends do it in a BIG WAY.

Happy Holidays from the MiniHostels Staff!
