Amused… http://www.saltshaker.net/20070111/we-are-not-amused Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:44:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Buenos Aires Blog Roundup - Weeks #6 and #7 | Buenos Aires Travel Guide http://www.saltshaker.net/20070111/we-are-not-amused#comment-10654 Buenos Aires Blog Roundup - Weeks #6 and #7 | Buenos Aires Travel Guide Mon, 22 Jan 2007 18:07:46 +0000 http://www.saltshaker.net/20070111/we-are-not-amused#comment-10654 [...] Dan took a trip up to the delta, just north of the city of Buenos Aires, and wrote about his time in Tigre, at the Parque de la Costa amusement park and then on a boat trip [...] [...] Dan took a trip up to the delta, just north of the city of Buenos Aires, and wrote about his time in Tigre, at the Parque de la Costa amusement park and then on a boat trip [...]

While I'm sure they'd probably do fine if no one but residents came to Parque de la Costa, they probably wouldn't be doing nearly as well - easily half the people in line while we were waiting were "foreigners" who weren't entitled to the discount. There's also no mention even on <a href="http://www.parquedelacosta.com.ar/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">their website</a> about the discounts only applying to residents, at least not that I see. Oh, and the guy in white wasn't busy being ill, he was busy knocking his head against the railing, the young girl you can kind of see behind Henry's niece was of the age where "Why is the....?" is the only phrase she seemed to know, and was asking her questions in loud, whiny voice continously. He may have been contemplating throwing her over the side...

Also I heard in Key West that if you prove you are a Key West resident, many stores/restaurants will knock off the tourist trap prices. But if they are offering some publicized ticket price discount they should have a note stating that it is for residents only. At the TDF National Park down here us TDF residents get a special discount compared to other residents around the country and non-residents.
