Honestly, I think if you're going to learn Spanish you should go either to Spain or Argentina. Argentinean Spanish is basically Spanish with Italian accent.

Ethnic groups: 90 % European (mostly Italians and Spaniards), 7 % Mestizo, 3 % Amerindian and others

"A phonetic study [...] showed that the accent of the inhabitants of Buenos Aires (known as porteños) is closer to the Neapolitan dialect of Italian than any other spoken language."

Everybody in the Spanish-speaking world hates Argentinians (especially Chileans), let alone US Americans who learnt Spanish with an Argentinian accent. Go to Northern Spain, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama or Venezuela to study a more neutral Spanish. It's just that learning (without being native) Mexican, Argentinian, Andalusian or Cuban Spanish will make other Spanish-speakers RAGE.

In Argentina, they use voseo. This doesn't really exist in Spain.

You either 1) don't know any people from those Latin American countries 2) have never been there or 3) really don't know anything about Spanish at all. The Spanish spoken in the Dominican Republic by the general populace is one of the worst forms of the language that exists. See if you can decipher these common Dominican phrases:

"tú no ta pa mi"
"pa onde va"
"como tú ta"

Exactly.

Correct answer.

Even I as a Krautfag realised that my teacher from Argentina is a fag.

Another question for the native latin americans.
Is it true, that you don't use all of the past tenses?
If so, why?

Neutral to whom? That guy in Ichi the Killer who cut off the tip of his tongue? Because that's the way people talk in the DR.

Argentinian here. Sadly I agree with some of the people here. Argentina is a great place for tourists, but our accent is VERY strong and we speak VERY different from others. I'd say come here for meat, women, cheap stuff, etc. but not for the language.

What's a one bedroom apartment with all bills (electricity, water, gas - if not electric stove, cable TV, Internet, use of laundry facilities, and cleaning at least twice a week) included go for in Argentina?

Well sorry, I'm not well informed on this, but I can tell you it's been getting more expensive in the last years. Still, it shouldn't be too expensive if you come with dollars. Our currency trades at about 3-to-1 with the dollar, 5-to-1 with the euro, but the cost of life is much less than the USA. So for us everything is expensive, but for tourists it's all generally very cheap. Maybe you'll spend more on accommodation, but much less on food, transportation, services, etc.
Again, sorry, I don't really know the cost of renting nowadays.

Well, I don't compare future places of travel to past places of residence, like the US - only to the current place I'm living. To put the question into context, I'm paying $400/month for the services mentioned above now.

well if it's just for the services, don't worry, you'll pay MUCH less. It's renting that's really high. Unless you plan to stay for a long time, just go to a hotel.

No, that includes the rent. I wouldn't be staying for more than 90 days in Argentina.
