A note about hostels in Argentina

Argentina has provided, by far, the best hostel experiences I´ve ever had. The level of services is far above those you typically find in China and New Zealand (which does have some great hostels).

As a rule, you get:

-breakfast included
-free Internet
-free wifi
-lots of help with travel arrangements

They also clean like mad. The hostel in BA where I´m staying again for New Year´s festivities has a cleaning staff that works throughout the day. It´s great.

And speaking of wifi...it´s EVERYWHERE. I´d say 75 percent of cafes provide it. You can find it at malls and at bus stations. There´s a public square here in Rosario that provides Internet access. Amazing.
