Hmmm, and where is La Paz (Bolivia)? it's the cheapest city I've ever been...you can have a delicious luch with 1.26 dollars.

Going off of Isa's list, Buenos Aires gets my vote. Not only cheap, but an amazing city to boot. Maybe not the best place to "quit partying and traveling" though.

Vaticano

All people in there live like kings and never work...

Catu, you have any other information about "Vaticano"? i'd like to read up on it

Isadora, thanks for that list, i went to the link, i like reading information that way

john7buck, yea man, i would assume BuenosAires has some really nice party places lol, so whats a meal cost on average? what about a beer in a club? cigarrettes?

Good thought. To save up some US dollars and live for a while in another country. Even probably find a simple way of life. All of the South American countries sound nice. And, yes, Peru is supposedly beautiful and pretty cheap also. Time to start doin a little traveling.
