1 Drink beer. The brew favoured here, Quilmes Cristal, is thin, weak stuff and a small bottle costs £3.
2 Drink wine in the large cafeteria/bar on the waterfront. It may be attractively decorated with old kitchen implements, 60s advertising posters and a 50ft counter. It may sell delicious home-made croissants, pastries and chocolate laid out on trays. It may have swirling tango music on the stereo. There's no excuse for charging £4 for a titchy glass of wine.
3 Buy stamps. £1 each. I won't be sending postcards of penguins to my friends and family.
4 Visit museums, national parks or any vaguely tourist attraction. Entrance fees are the highest I've EVER paid. ANYWHERE.
5 Go. It's just bloody expensive. Best to come with your life savings or not bother (which would be a shame because it is, after all, at The End of the Earth. In the Land of Fire).
