Pablo welcomed us within 24 hours of notice and we were luck to sleep in a comfortable place, where he lent us his room and he slept in the living room...!
On our last night, he invited us to a BBQ at a friends' place. Al Bough we had already eaten we couldn't say no. So off we go, picked up in town by Pablo and his friend, thinking we would only stay for a couple of drinks as we had our bus leaving the next morning at 7am. We were warmly greeted by Marcelo welcoming us in his house as if we were at home. Marcelo has a charming house on the top of the hill with a view over the town and bay, a house where anyone would feel good, at ease, at home. We ended up staying until 3am sharing a delicious meal (BBQ of lamb, sausages, pork, beef and salad FINALLY!! :) ) discussing over life, travels, culture differences between Europe and Latin America, and much more; an enjoyable moment of exchange and laughter, fluidly in Spanish, such a perfect way to end our stay in Ushuaia. Some interesting facts we learned exchanging with locals of Ushuaia is that many Argentinian from the north come and live in Ushuaia, for work of course but mainly because despite the unpleasant weather compared to the north, Ushuaia is a an island and a place of no corruption where nothing really happens, where you feel safe and where one earns more money than in the rest of the country, especially due to the tax exemptions over there (a law instated to incentivise companies to come and settle here).
