Problem with a photo
 
I received playing Time Flies (level 2) a photo from the Iguazu Waterfalls. In the stamp besides it says Brazil, but really, they are in Argentina (they are in a province at the North stacked to Brazil). I think is a very bad think change places from it's reall place. What do you think about this?

From Wikipedia:

Iguaçu Falls (Iguaçu Falls; Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu IPA [kata'ɾatɐs du igwa'su]; Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazú IPA [kata'ɾatas del iɣwa'su]) are spectacular waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones, around the coordinates [show location on an interactive map] 25°41′S, 54°26′W. They divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.
Chances are it's on the Brazillian side of Devil's Throat.

Do you mean that Devil's Throat is in Brazil?
The viwpoint is in Brazil, but the waterfalls are in Argentina.

I think you could probably take this either way.

If they are standing "in" Brazil and looking over to Argentina, then they could be saying "Look! This is a pic of us in Brazil."

However, if they are standing "in" Argentina, then they could say "Hey look! Over there is Brazil."

So, it could be interpreted either way, I think. It depends on what they are trying to convey in the picture. It also would depend on what their knowledge of the area is. Perhaps they did get it wrong and didn't realize it.

Good spot!!

The stamp is supposed to be like a visa stamp you get in a passport. Therefore, your IF and best friend are standing in Brazil (unless, of course, they illegally crossed the border into Argentina). 8D
But then again, it may not even be required to get a visa stamp when going from Brazil to Argentina; I don't know because I've never been to South America.

No, only showing your indentification (in Argentina DNI) and you pass.
